Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

I really enjoy making mini books, and looking forward to getting your new book. I'm planning on doing my son and daughter's graduation pics from college and high school. And hoping also to work on tons of travel photos.

My favorite mini books are ones I create of my family...usually where the pictures are the pages. I'm currently working on one of the trip to Europe I took with my girls this past February. Can't wait to see the new book!

I took your "Today You" class in Waco Texas a couple of years ago and I became obsessed with mini books, your class was a real inspiration. Last summer I did a 6x6 mini book on my perspective of past summers - 57,67,77,87, etc. My twenty three year daughter old said it was about time I did something about me! It was a fun project and I loved how the "story" flowed.
Thanks for your inspiration

Congratulations on your new book. This will be another hit for sure. I'd love to have a copy. This would be a perfect gift for my birthday. :) My favorite mini album is the black & white mini gatefold album which we made during the first ever scrap jam I attended. I placed pictures of my little girl who was beautifully dressed in a cute angel costume last Halloween. I used black & white photos which I adore a lot for that mini album. I made another one following the steps used for the gatefold album but this time a more colorful one. I haven't added any pictures on it yet but I'll be working on it soon. Mini albums are great because they're not so bulky and you can take it with you anywhere. :)

i often say i am the queen of minibooks . . . for a while it was all i seemed to do . . . so you know i will be purchasing this book. and i own the rest of your books so i have to keep up my collection. my current favorite mini album is one i just did this weekend. i took a class at a weekend retreat i attended and totally finished the book ~ journaling and all! and it was with pictures from a vacation from the previous week.

My favorite mini book project was the first one I did early this spring. My daughter and I took a trip to Paris last summer in commemoration of her high school graduation and I made a mini-acrylic album for her birthday this spring. LOVE it! Pictures are at: http://tammycirceo.typepad.com/photos/mini_paris_book_project/index.html

My favorite is one I did before my trip to London last year. I had it all planned, did the journalling during the trip and added a few pictures after the trip and it was done! There was no anxiety making the book before the trip because I waasn't trying to match photos and stuff. I just using the same papers for the book and had fun anticipating the trip while doing it.

I just made a mini book for my best friend for her birthday. She doesn't scrapbook and really knows nothing about it. I included pictures of us from the beginning of our friendship until the present. When I gave it to her she was so surprised and amazed that I made it all by hand and from scratch!!

A SLEEP book. I have tons of pictures of my 2 daughters sleeping. Sleeping on the floor, a new winter coat on, with socks on her hands, with the cat, top half laying on bed while feet are on the floor, in my bed, curled up, spread out, in the van.

I do a ton of baby mini books but am currently working on a Canada mini book for the time that I was there.
Looking forward to your new book and congrats on the pregnancy!

My favorite mini-album is a 30-day album, with one picture per day. I did it back in October 06 and I'm planning another one for this October, now that our second daughter is here. Thanks!

I'm planning on doing a mini book based on the theme, "I take photos because..."

So excited about this giveaway. I've been planning to make a mini book about Things to be Thankful about. I just found out my Dad has cancer, my mom has severe gout, and my grandmother is in the hospital after a fall that broke her hip. It's tough to be thankful when you hit hard times but this is when I need to be most thankful for all of life's blessing to get me through this.

I am working on a minibook for my husband showing him some of the many reasons I love him. I can't wait to read your new book and get even more ideas.

My favorite mini albums are the theme ones that I have done for different vacations. My mom did one with an altoid tin that was fun too. Thanks for the chance to win!

I want to do a mini entitled "this is the life." (also the name of my blog) It will have pages like - this is the life . . .I dreamed of, i worked for, i'm blessed to have. I'm working on the concept. I'm hoping your book will help me get it done. Thanks for sharing.

my fave mini is called "truth." and it pretty much lists all of my simple truths in life; things that i wish for and believe in. there is a link to the album on my blog..

Oooh, I have lots of favorites, I think one is title Why I Scrapbook, great to put in the hands of non scrappers! I have been planning for a couple years to do one about my DH and son,DS is 37!! They have always done the sports thing together and now work together and hunt together! I want it to be so special that I have procrastinated.......I need your book to get me going on it!! LOL

my fav mini book is one to be, one that I am working on. My DD's room, all girly and in all its glory. The pics are so sweet..can't wait to finish it!!

I'm getting ready to complete a mini-album for my cousin who's getting married. We hosted a bridal shower for her, and I know with all of the wedding preparations and being a newlywed she probably won't have time to really put anything together. I want her to have something to remember this time by. (Also, it's a great chance for me to be creative!) Looking forward to getting some inspiration from the new book!
