Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

Congratulations on the book!
I have never done a mini book, so I look forward to reading and getting some inspiration. I think that I would do a mini book about our vacation to Maryland this summer.

This looks like such a great book! I'm a big fan of your others and can't wait to read this one! One of my favorite mini- books tells the story of how my husband and I met, dated, got engaged and then married! It is "our" story!

My favorite mini book is on my dog Bear who is my little side kick. She goes everywhere with me and is by my side 24/7. I have so many mini albums of her and have them all throughout the house. I can never make too many of her! :-)

I want to make a book with my 2 sons. I am always doing girly things for my daughter and need to make a BOY book. Thanks for all the posts on your site! LOVE! LOVE! ;-)

I love mini-books. In fact, my daughter told me I am getting behind on my scrapbooking. I just recently finished a mini books for my youngest daughter. It was her first time in our high school's play, The Wix. She loved the book and keeps it on her dresser.

Hi Ali! I have your other 2 books and love them both. You are very inspiring to me so I can't wait to check out your new book. My favorite mini-book was one that I made for a friend as a thank-you. We traveled with them to Puerto Rico, where one of them is from, and they gave us the best tour ever. I felt good & was motivated the entire time I was making the book because I was so grateful for all that they did for us so this was our way of saying thanks. Thanks for the giveaway!

By far my favourite mini book is one I did for my husband for Valentine's Day entitled "10 things I love about you". He still has it on his bedside table 2 years later :) We both love lying in bed at night & reading through it.
Can't wait to see your new book - mini books are my fave project!

i've just completed my weight journal mini-album--i've struggled with my weight for some time now and with some motivation from my friend Elizabeth, this journal will keep me updated with my progress--oh yeah, i will also have pockets to leave myself positive messages!!!

My favorite mini book is one I made for DH. Last summer we revisited his first elementary school after being away close to 20 years. He was so filled with emotion and excitement going back. He told stories all day and had a great time remembering his childhood. I of course took lots of photos and created the mini album for him this Valentines day. He loved it.

so far, my favorite minibook project would be - stacy julians scrap happy (i think that is what it was called) where we scrapbooked a 6x6 minialbum on a 'fast track' in a 2 hr class. take photos, papers, embellishments of all one color and GO! I've used the concept a few times, and it works to get the books created fast - and then i'll go back and add more finishing touches later.
i also did a wonderful heidi swapp mini recently at a convention/event called 'to your heart be true' - and it was very inspirational and i like to thumb through it occasionally and add ideas to it as well!

I love the concept of your new book (also love collecting books!) My latest mini book is your cocoa daisy travel one, I have almost finished it - filled it with our trip to Madeira, just need to do the journalling. Mini books are great, I especially love making them for other people xxx

My favorite mini book I've ever made was "a celebration of coffee" with quotes about coffee from Gilmore Girls and pictures from my favorite coffee shops. It was a simple project but still the one I had the most fun with and enjoy looking at the most.

I am so looking forward to this new book, I am re-reading Life Artist at the moment and it is helping me so much with how and what I want to document about our lives..
I am currently making a mini-album about my Dad and my son and the physical and emotional traits they have in common, which are many. My Dad is sick and Max, my son is the light of his life. I think he will love this album.

My favorite minibook is an ongoing spiral-bound book on Motherhood that I add to from time to time. A repository for inspiring quotes and favorite "in-the-moment" photos with my kids. A reminder that my job is so crucial and worthwhile, even on days when it doesn't quite feel like it!

I am dying to get my hands on your book! I love minis so much....I am currently compiling pics to make a super cool mini about my everyday life..I just want to capture what my days are like in grad school because come next fall and I am teaching, things are gonna change so much!

My favorite mini album I've done so far is a book about how to take care of my daughter when she was 2-1/2. I have to do a new one--everything's changed. I included her favorites, foods, bed time routine, etc. Thanks for the chance to win!

We're in the process of a cross-country move and I just started my mini-book this weekend. I've got my cover (painted cardboard and rings) and tabs ("move" "sell" and "live") which will hold the packing, loading, 19 hour drive, and the trying-to-sell-our-house saga. This is month 4 of this craziness and I'm loving an opportunity to write it down "real time." It would be awesome to get a copy of your book!

I'm hoping to do a mini book of the summer adventure I took with my 15 yr. old daughter in 2005---we flew to Michigan from Oregon, visited my aunt & uncle, were picked up by my friend Lisa with her 2 daughters (9 & 12), then spent about 5 days at their family cabin on Lake Huron before driving back roads home & sleeping in their van! We stopped to paint now and then on the way home and had snow in Yellowstone! (late Aug.). Tons of photos and stories to tell... Hoping for inspiration from your new book---Congratulations & thank you!

I plan to finish a book that I had started for my mom for mother's day. "Memories with You" with my favorite childhood memories and pictures inside.

Last Christmas, I made mini-albums (paper-bag) for all the grandmas and mothers in my family with photos from our wonderful family reunion in Glacier National Park. My children still talk about that trip and I am so happy to have preserved those memories for our families!
