Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

My next mini is going to be a "smile book" for my oldest son. It'll include pics of his first teeth, his baby smile, and his smile as it has evolved through childhood (he's lost 7 teeth so far... every time I take a new pic). I think it'll be a fun way to watch him change and morph from baby... to child... to grownup. :)

My favourite mini-album is a pink, cream and chocolate brown confection about the birth of my daughter, that I made when she was just a few weeks old. I love it so much because even though I was soooooooo tired at the time, I've managed to really capture all those beautful thoughts and feelings around that time and bring it all together with her newborn photos. My little project that is ongoing at the moment is about our day trips out and about, over the summer :)

My favorite mini is one I made about me, with different photos from the past, advice to myself, and quotes- I made it this summer and it was the first project that I ever put "me" in. I have made 2 more books since- love the size, I'm going to make one from our summer vacation/ camping trip next.

My 4th grader went on a week long school trip to Nantucket last year and my husband was chosen as a chaperone. That left me and my 1st grader at home for a week alone. I made a mini-book called "While you were Gone" about everything we did while they were gone. I loved making it and my son and husband treasure it! I love mini books and can't wait to see your new book!

I am currently working on a mini book about my baby who passed away at one month. He would have been 27. It's taken me a long time to finally take out the four pics I have of him to scrapbook.

My favortie minibook that I plan to create is to make a peace book. I want to take all the moments in our life that make me happy and feel good and find ways to capture them in a minibook so that when I am feeling down I can look at it and remember to feel thankful and peaceful.

This mini album is my favorite of the ones I've made recently:

I just love how all the colors and pictures came together! It totally captures my daughter's personality.
But this one I love as a reminder of everything I love about our family:

It's tiny, but that makes it easy to display in a little corner, sort of as a little surprise peek into our life for someone to find!
I find that I do a lot more mini albums now that I have a 2 year old. I can work on them quickly and get a lot of pictures scrapped!

I just finished a cute little mini book about my best friends bachelorette party! I used one of those little blackboard chipboard books and it worked out great! There are pictures of it on my blog!

My favorite minibook is a 3x3 chipboard book I re-purposed. Except the cover all the pages contains photos of my son and I from the summer he was 3 1/2. They are still some of my favorites! It sits open on top of my entertainment unit so I can see it everyday. It still makes me smile.

My favorite mini book to date is a mini book of my hubby's early Christmases...his mother had kept this book of facts on his Christmases until he was 9, and I used that with photos to create this neat book that I found on Etsy, with pull out tags and folders made from a single sheet of paper. Now I want to make one for the kids showcasing our "reindeer feed" from each year, since that's been a tradition for us each year.

I bought a mini-book+kit from Kristina Contes and it DEFINITELY is my favorite!
Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite mini book was a summer book.

I really need to get started on a mini book about our house fire(in 2002)-the photos are tragic but they deserve to have their story told.

I've been wanting to create a Christmas ornament album. I buy ornaments as souvenirs when I travel and I want to document the where/when/why of all my ornaments.

A new book. YAY!
My favorite mini book was one I created for my DH a couple of years ago. It was so simple... words printed directly on the photos and printed up as a calendar... "I love you because...." and then each month's photo featured DH with the kids, or me, or with friends, and chronicled twelve things I love about him. I've never posted that one; I think I'll blog about it this week!

I can't wait to see your new book! My favorite mini book is one I'm in the middle of right now-about all the programs we've attended at our local park system... here's a peek from inside! http://www.flickr.com/photos/sharna/2744566930

I love travel mini books, and also ones on the kids' current favorite things. I also tend to make mini books for gifts for my husband and my mom and mother-in-law. I love making them, and they love getting them.
I cannot wait to read your latest book.

I just went to a Jack Johnson concert! But didn't take my camera in b/c I wasn't sure if I could and didn't want to haul it around...turns out I could have taken it! But we did get a photo right before we went in and they handed out a little "jack" booklet--those things along with a sticker from the concert are all going to be tucked in a mini...maybe an acrylic one! Simple, but it will hold lots of memories :) can't wait to see your newest book--really looking forward to it!!

I love mini books of any kind. They are about all I have been working on for the past year. The last one I finished is an album I made that documents all of the Texas singer Pat Green shows that we have been to. It includes mini ticket stubs, pictures of the band on stage, our many Meet and Greet photos and guitar picks. We have been to 23 shows since 2003! The one I'm finishing now is My Favorites for 2008 and next on my list is to finish 2 Disney mini books for my grand-daughters from the trip we took last November! Thanks for the chance to win.

I am planing on making a mini book on all the Missions we visited in SanAntonio, Texas.
