Sharing Your Story : New Book Giveaway

Hi Ali- I just made a "Our Favorite Journeys" Mini album at a scrap retreat this weekend. It chronicles 13 years of our family's favorite trips!

I'm hoping to create a mini-book about my dad, who passed away 4 years ago. I'd like my children to remember all the little details about his life and character.

My favorite project is a gratitude journal I made, inspired by a project from Emily Falconbridge. What an awesome reminder of life's daily blessings.

I am SO looking forward to this book! And would love to win it. We put our black Lab down on 12/21/07 as he was not going to make it thru a cold winter and we wanted to spare him any suffering. I intend to make a mini book to celebrate his life with us!

My favourite minibook is one I made with/for my three year old daughter. We did a little photo shoot of facial expressions then I made a book for her to read that say "Miriam is Excited" or "Miriam is Grumpy". She loves it as does her brother who s next on my list!

I am in the process of planning/creating a mini-book about my parents and their lives --who they were, especially before they were married. They're in their mid-sixties and I want to capture this information before it's too late. I want future generations to know them as I am fortunate enough to!

Favorite mini book would have to be the one I made for a friend of mine who just had a baby. It was a simple, painted chipboard album with all of their hospital and homecoming pictures in it. super easy and still cute!

I am working on a mini album called "hands and feet." I love photographing my two little boys' hands and feet and am putting it all together in a mini.

Hi Ali
My favorite mini book project is titled "He said, She said." I my husband and I answered the same 10 questions (separately) and then I scrapped the answers side-by-side. I love to go back and read out different point of views on the same subject. You can see it here: http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=19763&user_id=3617

i love a mini i did about a rocking chair that has been passed down through several generations of my family. the next one i'm really excited about doing is one entitled 'what i know now' and is going to be sort of a letter to my younger self.

My favorite mini book is the one I made last Christmas from your site. It's the one where I actually got to use most of my acrylics and transparencies for the first time along with envelopes and tags.
Just like you, I did one for each day in December.
Everybody who sees the Christmas mini book loves it and I plan on doing it again this holiday.

This spring my cousin shared a mini-book that his wife had made over 20 years ago while they were dating. It had photos in it she had taken alongside handwritten poems that meant something to them as a couple. It was so beautiful to look at and it was inspiring too. She died about 4 years ago, but this piece of her was still there telling a story. I felt so lucky to see it.

I love creating mini books, that is mostly what I do, that and making cards. I make mini books as gifts and for myself. I love them, it is so satisfying to me to sit down and finish a book within a couple of days! Can't wait to get your book for even more inspiration! Thanks for all that you teach us!!

I haven't done very many mini books but I am taking a minibook class next week using Making Memorie's Passport line and I plan to use pictures from our recent "second honeymoon" to Spain!!!

My favorite mini book so far would be one that I made from your AEzine challenge (My 5 Favorite Things). I love that I was able to record those simple, yet meaningful things at that particular moment in time. As always, thanks for the inspiration! Can't wait to read your new book!!

We're going to be focusing on mini books this year in our middle school paper crafting club! Got to have this book!

I am planning to start a mini-book about last week's visits to the Abraham Lincoln Preisdential Library and Museum and the Bill Clinton Presidential Library. They were so different in their architecture, layout, exhibits, etc. but they were both great! I can't wait to start this!

I would like to make some mini books about Christmas

I love mini books. My favorite one was one I made with my 6 kids for their grandmother. Each kid had two pages, one with his/her picture and another with a tag with a list of the reasons he/she loved his/her grandmother.

I am thinking of putting together a mini-book of pictures of my sister and I through the years and give it to her for Christmas.
