Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

I can't wait to get your new book! It looks awesome.
My favorite that I've done was a year in review album. I had one year that was just crazy and had a lot of changes and I love looking back through it and remembering what an amazing year that was.

I have only complete one mini album, a 6x6 pregnancy while I was expecting my second daughter and I love it!! I have made digital cd case calendars the past few years as gifts and LOVE those. My family now expects them!

I made my first (okay 4) mini books last Valentine's day. I used valentine paper treat bags (2"x3")with photos, stickers and other embellishments. Super cute and I love the fact that they don't take much time, but allow me to burst with creativity.

My husband and I are planning on getting pregnant soon! So, I was reading all your ideas for pregnancy books and really want to try my hand at mini-booking! I think it's a great idea to have that part of my life in its separate little space.

My favorite mini book is one I made at a CKC class, it's an accordian album that's made out of cardstock class. I've made so many out of that same pattern since then, but I love my first the best.

Favorite mini book was a visit my mother in law made to help out with the kids while I recovered from surgery. they had such a great time and took lots of pics, that I then used to make 2 copies of a minibook, one for my mother in law and one for the kids. They love looking at that book!

I think that my favorite mini book project is the one that I am currently doing for my baby sister. She recently had a baby girl and named her Hayden. I am documenting the birth of Hayden. She is now two months old. What makes this book so special is that I am not choosing to do the mini book in the formal pink color. I'm doing each pages based on what Hayden is wearing. I totally love it so far!
By the way, congratulations on the babes!

I've been planning a mini with some of my childhood songs and in addition I'll throw some of my DD songs too so when she grows she will remember them... it was really hard for me to try and remember all the songs I learned as a kid... so maybe this will help others in the family...

I just finished my first 4"x4" mini book for my sister. It's titled "remember - words of wisdom from your big sister." I used your Title and Journal Photo Overlays 2 (modified to make it square).
I picked out 10 photos that make me laugh and placed each one on its own page. On the opposite side, I used your remember overlay and typed in a silly and fun sentence relating to the photo.
My sister visits next week and I can't wait to give it to her. Thank you for encouraging me. I don't think I would have tried it if I wasn't so inspired by your blog.

My favorite mini album is one I've been working on for my son. The first year of his life, I had his picture taken at Sears every month. Each month, I included his stats for the month (height and weight) as well as any firsts or significant events. It's been great to look back and see how many changes there are in the first year, especially now that he's almost five!

I am planning on making a Beauty of Europe minibook displaying the pictures I took of flowers/nature and such while studying abroad in Europe for the past year!

I made and am making 7 mimi- albums for my 5 boys and 2 girls with a poem I found about how much I love them and what they mean to me even though they are grown now. That I'll always be there for them know matter what.

I'm just starting a mini book for my adopted daughter that will serve as her "lifebook" giving her all the details of her life before she came home.

Currently my favorite mini album is the one I am working on. My best friend and I escaped from the city life and went camping on the west coast. We tried our hand at surfing. Well, we went so successful but we had a blast and plan to give it a try again next year. This album not only tells of our weeks adventure but also expresses the wonderful friendship that I share with my friend. I love documenting moments like these because I have so much to share. Thanks for all the sharing that you do.

Wow, what a fabulous giveaway ... thanks!
Almost at the end of my first pregnancy here ... and so I'm planning to do up a mini-book of the progression of "The Belly" and how much I've loved being big and pregnant. How I've loved my body through all this, how I feel beautiful. And how I've felt so amazed sharing space with this unseen, squirming child inside.

My favorite minibook that I have created, so far, is the HAPPY wordbook for my son's first birthday party. The inspiration for this mini was the wordbook you created for Creating Keepsakes magazine. My second favorite is still a work in progress - the journey my husband and I have taken through life together.

I'm working on a 6 x 6 anniversary album for my husband. We will be celebrating 20 years together on August 27th. It's been fun finding pictures for it. So many memories. I'm looking forward to your new book.

I'm really excited to get started on my "how I spent my summer vacation" book!! It's been an interesting 2008 and this summer was full of new friends and fun activities - just what I needed. :)
