Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

I am currently making a mini book on all the funny/cute things my son says and does. Just random little things but ones that always make me smile.

I am full of anticipation over the new book-can't wait to see it!
I have a basket full of mini's..one of my faves is one I did about DH & my wedding day!

my favorite one is from your last book. It is using the 4X6 index cards with the alphabet on them for a minibook. I altered it a bit, and used the month cards and I am doing a month to month book with my newborn baby...thanks Ali...love the inspiration and opp to scraplift!

I'd love to create a mini book to document my pregnancy!

My favorite one that I have done was inspired by one that you did in the May 2008 CK. I did one of the Bo Bunny word books "LOVE" with enlarged photos for my husband to take with him when he travels. Thanks for all of the great ideas!

I'm planning to create a minialbum on the different pets I've had throughout the years and the lessons they've taught me.

My favorite mini book was a week in a life of my son's life. I have many ideas for other mini book I want to make, I would love to get my hands on your book, Jess

I have a mini album that includes my children's Santa photos each year. What makes this extra special is that 6 years ago my 6 yo son passed away so I have photos of him with my eldest daughter (now 16) at the begining of the album and photos of my eldest daughter and my two little girls aged 2 and 4. I love having my 4 children in the same album as I cant have them in one photo.
I am planning to do an album with photos of all 4 on the same page on their birthdays!
Thanks for everything you share with us on this blog!!

We just found out we are expecting baby #4. I have never documented a pregnancy before and would like to do a mini book about it since this is definitely the last!!

I love making mini books!
I am working on My 10 Favorite Memories of Summer 2008 mini book.

I've been teaching legacy journaling workshops and minibooks are the best way to get people started as they tend to be less intimidated by the process when they can start with just a little bite of the elephant! Your ideas are wonderful and I can't wait to see your new book!

My fave minibook was created for my then-toddler daughter to help her learn her Spanish numbers. I used the Maya Road chipboard book and printed numbers and the words in Spanish, then used stamps and photos to create the number of objects corresponding to the number.
A minibook I am planning to create soon will be for the last zoo trip we took. We have so many photos from it that I won't be able to squeeze it into a scrapbook page so the minibook is perfect for this purpose.

My favorite mini book I've made is on I did for my husband for his first Father's Day. I plan to make another one very soon after our family vacation to the Texas coast.
So excited to get your new book, even if I don't win it here!

My fave mini book idea was in...life artist I think. I made a little album with my daughters favourite things- people and places and wiggles, I'm sure you did something for simon. She LOVES it...turns the pages and recites the list. I made it on wooden coaster sized circles and its built kid tough- few embies, LOTS of pritt to hold things on. Its over a year old and still going, i make a new page for it every now and then.

Oh cool!! I love your books!!
My favourite mini book is the only one I've ever made for myself - me & my family this year. It's was a Mother's Day gift for me. I'm forever making stuff & giving it away.
And now I'm inspired to have a basket full of my own projects for me!!

I am currently working on a mini book of my Christmas ornaments! There are so many stories attached to each one. Some were gifts, others purchased during my travels, some made in kindergarten by my nieces and nephews, and a couple of them were passed down from my mom. Every year when I take them out to put on the tree I get this overwhelming flood of memories. SO, I thought I'd capture pictures and stories of each in a small album.

I like making minibooks about the kids that are given to grandparents (don't live close). Thanks for the chance of winning a copy of your latest book.

I have done 4 mini-books so far and by far my favorite is the one I did for my husband with a picture of each of our kids the day they were born and they day I made the mini-book. It was for his birthday and at the time he was traveling so he could take it with him in his laptop case.

School is starting today! I'm planning a mini book of my children's school work. I'm not too sentimental so every year (my oldest is in 3rd grade now), I take pics of the best pictures, stories and artwork. Sometimes I even take pics of good test scores and special teacher's comments. I keep printing these pictures in wallet size photos but find that a collage in a 12x12 doesn't always do it justice. A mini book is the perfect solution!

After a particularly difficult couple of months earlier this year I decided to create a mini book that helped me to look for the good in everyday. Each day I documented at least one good thing everyday for a whole month.It may have been a coffee with a friend or an unexpected hug. At the end of the month I was able to reflect on how much good there was in life and I became a lot more positive.
Thanks for the chance to win the book.
