I LOVE minibook projects the best. Something about knowing that the project has an end really motivates me in a way that making pages for a big album does not. I like to put birthday parties into mini-books that the kids can keep handy and relive their party or show their friends. But my favorite has to be the one I'm doing for my son. I asked my husband to make a list of things he loves about our son. I'm taking those things and making a minibook out of them. Then I'm going to give it to hubby to share with said son on their next father/son day.
Can't wait to see your new book!

My favorite mini-book is the one I did about me! I never scrapbook about myself, always about other family members, but I was inspired to do a mini book about 10 reasons I'm lucky. It was so much fun!

I did a mini album for my girl scout troup documenting all the things we did in a year. I worked on it in my husband's hospital room during a lengthy stay to pass the time and keep me from going crazy with worry. It is very simple.

I plan on making an alphabet book about our first daughter's life. Our first daughter passed away when she was 37 months old. We have since then been blessed with her two younger sisters and I plan on this book being a way to share her life and who she was with them.

My favorite minis right now are really tiny ones... like 2in x 3in. I call them mini-minis and they are easy to put together, fast and fun for small events. :)

I cant wait to get that book! I have your other 3 and they are such an inspiration! Been anxiously awaiting its release! While I love mini books I find it harder to get the extra time to make them, but I have a long list of ones that I want to make...I even have the books....just need the time. My next one will probably be pictures of the townhouse I just built...from start to finish...the pictures are so awesome to see the progress.

Ali, I just started a mini-book about our recent vacation, we went to Mexico to visit my parents and it was a very special trip, my father is very ill with terminal cancer and this was just another oportunity that God gave us to see him again. It was a very special trip that I want to document in a mini-book. It was a blessing.

My favorite mini book was one I made for a summer vacation in Breckenridge. I loved the freedom of creating small pages, and finishing it w/ 20 photos in two nights (aha, that feeling of accompishment). I did a simple 1-pager in my 12x12 scrapbook family album to accompany it. My next plan is to figure a way to use the new Scenic Route 8x8 w/the white grid on the front--love that album!

I love mini books! That seems to be all I do anymore. I plan on making one of my daughter's 4th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. She'll love flipping through it and seeing all of her friends!

Well, my fave minibook is one I made for my mom using a Cocoa Daisy kit - it had pictures of her family growing up - all 5 sisters and my grandparents. She loves it and it's a great place to capture all the random photos from all the girls.
I have several on my mind that I'll be working on here soon - including visits from my parents to the NW for the first time in ages, random things from this year and then starting to capture older pics from my hubby and his brothers to give to his mom for Christmas.

My favorite is a short book I made for my girls on things I want them to remember when they are older!

My favorite mini-album BY FAR is the holiday album I made this past Christmas. My grandfather passed away on Christmas morning. And because I was so diligent at recording a bit everyday, our memories of the holidays aren't all about his passing.
Can't wait to see the new book!!

We've lived in New Hampshire for 4 years and this year was my first summer trip to the Cape. I loved it and had a great time - so much so, that I decided to make a mini book of my 4 days there.
This is my first mini book and based on I'm excited to start am excited to finish this upcoming weekend.

My favorite mini-book is the one I made for my husband celebrating the 25 years we have known each other. We met when we were 12 and started liking each other when we were 14. I used Halloween paper and colors because we officially started "liking" each other on Halloween.

The book looks like too much fun! My favorite mini-book was one I made for my little sister not long ago after we took a weekend vacation to a museum she's wanted to go to forever.

I am currently working on a minibook about my grandmother and my daughter(2 y/o). I took pictures recently on grandma's 91st birthday and wanted to show love through the generations. I love the young and old compare/contrast concept.

My fave mini was one I created for my sister last year - telling her how beautiful she is. I used your KOM and was able to share my feelings with her, she turned 18 yesterday, so needs that love! Thanks Jill for sharing with us!!
