I am planning a minibook of my 20 year old cat, Otis, who died recently.
thanks for the great blog and a chance to win : )

My favorite is the one I made for my oldest son when he was learning to read. It's essentially a story about all his favorite things at age 4 1/2. He loves it and reads it to his little sister too :-)

My favorite mini album has been the one of my son's birthday. Reliving the moments surrounding his birth brings a smile to my face. Boy has life changed since then!
Also-a future album- self portraits! I am notorious among my family for taking self portraits. Even if it is not my camera! :)
Thanks for the give-aways and inspiration!

I am working on a book about my sons room at age 4 and I think it is going to be my favorite. He has a serious hat collection going on - pirate, cowboy, fireman, jester, etc. and likes to play dress up. His closet is so cute with those little hangers that his shirts will be falling off of soon enough. He loves to read/look at books and he has made his own little reading spot with a bean bag. It is just so him...I can't wait to finish this book. I am going to miss these little things so much I just could cry.
Congrats on your new book. All your others are great!
Thanks!

Your new book looks fabulous!
A mini book I am wanting to put together is of my 2 nieces. I have lots of pictures of them "Baking" at my house. It has become a tradition to bake at Auntie Lisa's.

I'm working on my first minibook and it's about me. I usually scrap about my kids and I'm really enjoying this new angle.
Your new book seems really interesting!

I'm planning on making a mini-book calendar for the family as Christmas gifts. It will detail birthdays, anniversaries, etc. of all family members along with a directory at the end.

Well, I had planned to post something else, but Sarah's comment caught my eye and I'm going to steal her idea! :) I'm actually *not* good about taking self-portraits, but have gotten better from your suggestion, Ali. I'm going to make a mini-book of the pics of me. How neat to see how I've changed!

my favorite has been a father's day one my daughter(then 2) made for him. I had her scribble/draw on paper and used that as my "patterned paper." it's a great glimpse into that point in our lives.

I did a mini book of my DH's 40th bday party. There were so many photos that i thought it would work best as its own little scrapbook. I printed each photo with a white border, cut cardstock at 5x7, mounted each photo with black photo corners, and then bound it all with my bind-it-all machine. The result? A book that is consistent in theme from start to finish. I love how quick it was to create and how clean and simple it looks. I plan on lots more! That bind-it-all will get lots of use!

I made a mini book for my husband for valentines day and it was titled ABC's of Love and for every letter of the alphabet I came up with a word that described us and our love. I love mini books!

I love mini books! My favorite has to be the one I made for my mother-in-law, called the frog book, it was based on a frog towel she gave my son. Every night he asked to take a photo in the towel, that's the best part the memories of the photo shoots.

The book looks awesome-how exciting!! I'm about to start working a mini book of my dd first days of Kindergarten-which was last Wednesday! The pictures came out so cute and but more importantly the second day after we picked her up she got in the car, she announced "today was the BEST day of my WHOLE life" and proceeded to tell us all about it-I can't wait to include that in the story of her first days of kindergarten to remember forever!!

My favorite mini book projects are always the ones I take on vacation with me. I love saving pieces of ephemera & finding ways to use them in my mini book. I love all of your books & am so looking forward to this one!

My favorite mini book is of the first 3 weeks of my new grandson's life. It is my first acrylic album and it turned out beautiful. Used one of your acrylic albums for some inspiration. Thanks for a chance to win this new book.

I recently completed my first art journal and titled it "My Story...so far" - I had so much fun making it and played with tons of paints, stampts and did different collages/journaling throught the book.

I'm gonna do some mini books of our Christmas 07.

One of my favorite mini book projects was one I did after my husband and I were married. It's all about him and through out the entire book, the only journaling are the words to God Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts. The book starts with pics of our beginning and ends with pics of our wedding with a beautiful sunset pic I took in Hawaii during our honeymoon and the words, "And they lived happily ever after." Corny but true and he still looks at it all the time.

My favorite mini book was for a friend that was of her daughter. She doesn't scrap and it was fun to surprise her with momets form her daughter's life that she wouldn't have been able to see again otherwise.
