oh and my most favorite other ones are my EVERYDAY LIFE MOMENTS mini's where i just use a dollar tablet from the MICHAELS dollar section and use photos that have special meaning or stories and aren't necessarily the most perfect photos but deserve a story to be told! those are so FUN to make! i have inspired my neighbor and sister to make them too!

My favorite was a paperbag album of how I decorate for Christmas...it is also a reference so I can remember from year to year what I have decorated and with what.

My favorite mini-book is about a trip to Disney World that I made in 1990 with my best friend. We'd just finished our freshman year in college. The end of the book turns into a tribute to her and to our friendship. We made it through one heart surgery, high school, first kisses, and college together. She was my maid of honor and the sister I never had. She died unexpectedly in 2001, and all the feelings that I had for her are written down on the last pages of that book. There are more words than pictures in the album, but that's one of the reasons I love it so much.

The book looks great. My favorite mini-book is one that I did of my son and all the funny things he said when he was a toddler. My husband and I did date night and spent the evening coming up with the quotes.

I can't wait to check out the new book! I am just starting a minibook for a girlfriend who just had a baby girl. All she'll have to do is put in pictures and journaling.
I found a baby "scrapbook" kit from the 60s at an antique store & am using that for inspiration, so it's going to be a retro-style book.

My favorite mini book to date is of my 3 year old son's favorite things. Each page is a different theme and I love how he enjoys looking through this book time and time again!

My favourite mini book I've made is one of Halloween last year when my son was 2 and just getting the idea of what was going on.

I have a series of mini books called 'North American Wildlife Journals.' We lived in the US for 3 years - originally from the UK & now returned there - and we loved to see all the different animals & birds in the US & Canada. It was my husband's task to take photos of whatever we saw, then we'd identify them & I'd scrap them in my mini book!

Hi, Ali! Oohh, I'd love to win this!
I enjoy creating mini albums of each of my boys. I am not amazingly creative, but there is something special about the individual memories that I capture of my boys. That's the treasure.

It would be hard to pick ONE favorite mini book I've made since they are all special. I guess my new favorite would be the last one I did. It's a mini album with Halloween pictures of my boys together every year since my younger son was born. My next projects are to make mini albums for my MIL and BIL of the grandkids of the family all fishing together.

I do a minibook about each of my kids birthdays. I don't feel pressure to scrap a multitude of photos on one LO. I have as much room as my minibook will allow.
