Hi Ali,
My son and I make a cross country trip (we live in the East and my family is in the West) each year and we always make a mini book for our family and ourselves about the trip. Travel related mini books are my favorites.

Hi Ali!
I can't wait for the new book to come out - the other two that I have are very well loved!
I am in the process of creating a second book of me. The first one was an 8x8 acrylic album that turned out really well and I love it:)
Thanks for the chance to win!

I'm planning a book of my niece and nephew on vacation with me. They're great kids and so much fun!

I love mini books! They are quick and easy gifts for family, or coaches to remind them of the kids that participated last season.

I did a mini book about my son's baseball team. It has lots of tabs and things "sticking out" of it. Really fun!

I don't think it's possible to pick just one favorite. Generally my favorite of the moment is the one I just finished. So right now it's a book about a day at the beach with my daughter.
And the list of planned minis is even longer. But the one on my mind currently is one inspired by both you and Donna Downey. A felt book (Donna's was featured in a recent SS issue) about my immediate family members, featuring random facts about them (similar to the one you talked about in your interview with Noell).
Sharing your story will definitely have a home on my bookshelf, even if I don't have the good fortune to win this drawing.

Hi Ali,
I never win, but it is fun to try anyway. I would love your new book so I can find some cool ideas for a mini book about our last family vacation before the grandbaby is born.
Thank you,
Cindy

I would like to do a mini album about how my husband and I met. We had both gotten to the point where we had kind of given up on that someone being out there. When my cousin said, 'you have to meet my ex-boyfriend's brother." I said, "Hey what I am doing isn't working, I will try it your way." We lived quite far apart. Now 6 years later, we are married with one little girl and hoping for another baby in the near future! Love all of your book. You are quite an inspiration.

I've only made 3 mini books and my favorite is the one I made for my best friend, to celebrate our friendship & her birthday. I put a Starbucks gift card in it too. :) I'd love to get a copy of your newest book! :)

I have a great mini-album (of course, in my opinion LOL) that I was able to put together for a trip to Ireland. Its special because it was my first mini-album ... and my first trip. I was impressed with how easy it was, and satisfying.

My favorite mini book I have made is one in an accordian album that I did of my kids for my mom. She uses it right now for display, but can easily store as she folds it into the album. I love handmade gifts!!
Your book looks yummy!!

I have actually just started a mini-book for the house my husband and I are having built! To be honest some days it's a struggle to make pictures of our lot interesting, but it's been a great challenge!

Hi, congrats on your pregnancy. My favorite mini-book so far is one I've come across a few times already on the Internet : a sort of instruction booklet for a child, e.g. the daily routine to follow when the mother travels. There are so many little and unique quirks that make up our children. Apart from helpful I think it would be something nice for the child to have in the future as a grown-up. Would love to win one of your books!

My fav mini books are the ones of my kids birthdays. They love the small size and looking through them. It is just a fun way to keep the celebration alive all year!
