Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Details with MiniBooks + Getting Started with Digital Scrapbooking

I can not WAIT to get your new book Ali. You have been so inspirational to me and the motivation behind the mini books that I have made. I made the "you are loved" mini books for each of my boys and made one for my husband as well. Because of your blog and your creativity that you so willingly share with us all it has really pushed me to make more mini books. It's such a quick and fun and enjoyable way to get a story down and have it out there for all to enjoy looking at. I hope to soon have enough to warrant a basket to display all mine in as you do. Thank you for all you do and share with us.

It looks awesome!!! Can't wait. I love mini books. We just made one for my husband for Father's Day.

Just pre-ordered your book - very excited as I really want to get into more mini books. Love all the digital - need to learn all that great stuff and start to utilize it.
Hope Simon is feeling better.
Have a great Monday.

Ali, I can't thank you enough for the link for the Designer Digitals tutorial for loading brushes. I took an online class awhile back and the instructions for loading brushes were so long and complicated. Every time I wanted to load a new brush, I had to pull out the instructions to remember how to follow all the steps. THIS WAS SO EASY! I LOVE your new brushes -- bought all of them -- and can't wait to use them now that I have them loaded. I also preordered your book and can't wait for it to come out. I'm from Phoenix too and wish you would come teach a class at Scrapbooks, Etc. Can't wait for your series but I know how having a sick child can throw everything off course. Hope he feels better soon!

Thanks, Ali. I love mini-books too because I use them most often as little storybooks when I have a succession of pictures from the same "event." "Event" being defined as something as big as a birthday or church dedication and as small as a few minutes spent with my great-nephew digging in the dirt.
At this point I would be more interested in the brushes as stamps since my computer set up at home is not complete. If a vendor is wondering, YES!, we want the stamps! :)
Thank you for continuing to be so generous with your talents and insights.

I seriously cannot wait for this book! I love making mini albums but often have trouble getting them started so this will be great.

I am so excited to get my hands on this book, Ali. Whenever they begin announcing your books I go through this serious dilemma--from whom will I get this book the fastest? My LSS or CK or Michaels? LOL.
I look forward to our interview next month and will email you in a couple week or two to schedule it.

Oooh ... seriously, can't wait!

thanks for the heads up on the book. I love the emphasis you put on words + photos. I found many of my own words matching yours yesterday as i encouraged a friend to just 'tell her story', not to keep waiting for the perfect method and products, and inordinate amounts of time to do it--just do it! The 'WAY you do it' is just as much a part of the story as the story itself.

I can't WAIT for your book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Already on preorder! I love everything you write!!!

oh my . . . i didn't know a new book was in the works. and one on minibooks is almost too good to be true. can't wait to get my copy. i'm sure it will be on my top 3 list!
hope simon is feeling better real soon.

congrats to you on all of this cool stuff.
so happy for you!

Super excited to add this book to my collection :-) I love your stuff!!

Just preordered the book. I finished a mini album for my DH for Father's Day. Somehow, I seem to be less intimidated and can finish mini-albums rather than work on my big albums. Funny how that is. Perhps I'll get the story told all through mini albums! Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration!

I can't wait to get your new book(s) too! :) I always love your ideas/inspiration.

I hope your little guys is feeling better soon... nothing worse than feeling icky on sunny summer days!
... and I can not wait to see your book! so excited to see that you have another one coming out! keep up the great work, ali!

I can't wait to add this book to my collection!!
I hope Simon feels better today....
Hugs...

I was thinking to myself yesterday "I wish someone would publish a book about mini albums." I was working on a mini album for part of my husbands fathers day present (yes, it is a little last minute!!)and was stuck in a rut. I guess somebody heard me!!! Can't wait to get my hands on your new project! Thanks for all of you inspiration.
Well wishes for Simon.

Yay! Can't wait to get my hands on the new book. :) I love the others so much, every time I'm in the store, I feel like buying another copy (LOL).
I am so glad you remind everyone to focus on the importance of getting the story told rather than the format in which you choose to tell it. :)
And... your DD stuff is wonderful. :) Thanks for jumping into the digi world.
