Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

i would love one of these books!!
i am planning on doing a mini book recording the feelings we have had over the last year for
our baby girl who was born 3 mos early. It was tough but sooo rewarding!!

My favorite mini-book I have made is for my mom. Her and I took a trip to Colorado in May and had the best time. I wanted to thank her for a wonderful time and let her know how much I love her, my family means so much to me and as I get older I want to spend as much time with them as I can. Memories with my parents will always be treasured!!
Thank you very much for all your inspiration! Getting a glimpse into your creative mindset is very helpful in my own work!

Oh Ali, i simply adore your books, they are practical and usefull and nice to have.
My favourite mini album is called "Roots", based on a spiritual book i red by AW Towzer, Roots of the Righteous. I made this art Journal for my boyz, to tell them about the wonderful truths in this book.
That is my favourite

Congrats on the new book, can't wait to add this to my AE collection :)

I am planning on making a mini book that highlights are favorite activities of this summer - those little moments that are so wonderful but can easily be forgotten as time moves on.

I love making mini-albums. My favorite is one of tiny scenic shots from our trip to China. It's in one of those tiny 7 Gypsies coin albums and it's called "Little Pieces of China." I also made a kindergarten book for a friend's daughter that turned out well.

This is a great giveaway!!! I purchased my mini book in July and have been trying to figure out what I wanted to "document". I've finally decided to duplicate your 25 days of Christmas. So I'm jotting down ideas for my 2008 Christmas photos.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to win your book.

love mini books and would love to get this book!

5 copies? If I could be so lucky...
I have one book that I've started that I hope to complete soon. A book documenting my brother's wedding. From the engagement, the girl's day at the spa, the men's golf outing, to the honeymooon. All those moments that the couple doesn't usually get captured.
Recently I completed two books for my mother and MIL for Mother's Day. They were both the same with pictures of each family. Grandkids, and kids. Those were my first offical books. They enjoyed them so much.
A little tip from that experience.
I did full page photos with patterned paper backing...I used my small Xyron machine on all the photos, stuck them to the paper and trimmed them down. No peeling pages there!
Thanks!

Couldn't figure out how to add this to my post above, but here's a link to my mini-albums...

Hi Ali,
Thanks for publishing this book. Can't wait to see more inspiration! I did my first mini-book just a few weeks ago...my fav photos from a recent family photo shoot. I hope to start another today about our recent trip to PEI!

I am looking forward to starting a new mini album for my grandmother for Christmas. Its going to acrylic which I have never worked with so I am super excited and trying to hunt down ideas on the web.

I'm getting ready to start a mini book that's all about my bachelorette party and lingerie shower night from our wedding two years ago. I didn't want them in my wedding album, so am going with the smaller size with fun girly stuff to put in it. I think it's going to be fun to create!

Hi Ali, I just finished Stacy Julian's "Colorful You" class where I made a mini book for my 10 year old son. I absolutely adore it. ~Flora

I can't wait to get the book! I already ordered mine from Cocoa Daisy, so hopefully it will come this week!
I actually made a minibook this weekend, with your Cocoa Daisy kit but since I didn't go on vacation this Summer, I made it about my Summer. The three sections worked perfectly for June, July and August, and I just added 2 of the Scenic Route tabbed papers to each section instead of one to add more pictures. I love how it came out! I wish you offered kits like that every month! I love having the structure that you set up and then working from there. I loved that about your Evolution class at CKU also! Both great albums! Thanks for your inspiration!

Mini books are a wonderfully "tangibly complete" project! I have my 'Happy Book' on the coffee table. I'm going to make a "First Day of School" mini album for each kid, showing each year's first day photo and/or the photo with their teacher from that year. Great way to show off the changes in them over the years!

my mini book project i am working on is
the things my boys like to do in the summer.
can wait to take a look at you new book ali!

I am in the process of making a mini-book about my trip to Florida last year.
I hope to do one to honor my father's service to his country and community in the days to come.

My favorite mini book project recently has been the South African Safari book I made for my Mother.

a minibook about my daughter's dance recital is my favorite.
