I just started a book called "Home Is Where The Army Sends Us". Its filled with pictures from all of the duty stations we have been at and the eventful things that happened while we were there. I want our son to remember how truly special his daddy is and how luck we have been :)

I'm excited about your latest book - I have your last 2 and they are resources I turn to over and over. I love how they seem timeless; I don't feel they've dated at all.
Thank you so much for all you share on your blog. I have learnt so much from you. :)

My current mini book fav is one that I created at a Stacy Julian class at the Great Lakes Mega Meet. Her stick it down and forget it kinda mentality threw me for a loop, but I sure got that book done quickly! The next book that I will make will be about my new niece, when she decides to arrive in about a month.

I am planning to do a minibook about the music of my life. All of the songs that I loved or had special memories attached to them throughout my life. As a child, as a teen, as a young adult, and now. All of the songs that I associate with special people, special events, special moments or places. I have a perfect title picked out already. I hope to actually include a cd with recordings of the songs.

I am working on one right now about a couple of little road trips/excursions I did this summer together with my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and her mother. I'm planning on making a copy for each one of us. Lots of fun! Thanks for the giveaway! :) Kirsten

My all-time favorite mini-books that I made were the ones I made right before my dh deployed for 15 months. I made each of our kids a mini-book to look at when they were missing dad. My dh journaled in them...little notes of encouragement, things he was proud of them for, how much he loves them and how much hewill miss them etc.
I have all your books and I can't wait to read your new one!

Ooops! I forgot to mention in my comment above that I am currently working on a mini album of my trip to New York City. I plan on using my Zutter machine to bind it all.

I recently made a mini book about the group of kindergartners that I used to teach at Sunday School. They were my favorite group that I have ever taught, and I was sad when I had to move and could no longer teach them. This book will help me remember how special those kids were.

Planning on doing a mini book for my mother-in-law for Christmas of their wedding day 40 plus years ago. There's only 6 or so photos in total and only of the wedding party so I'm going to add document boxes where she can add further detail such as the name of the church, reception place, details of the cake, guests etc.

We just got back from a weekend in Vermont at a working dairy farm. I have some great shots of my kids with the animals, exploring the farm, etc. I plan on making a mini book out of these as soon as they head back to school!

I think my very favorite mini book may be the first one that I made. It was a Valentine's gift for my now-hubby (then beau). Simple stuff, pictures a few words and a couple of embellishments.

My favorite mini books are the ones on my blog right now :) I've been obsessed with making them :) They're mini books made with paper scraps. I make lots of books that way ;)

My friend and I snuck away from our families and obligations for a long weekend in Boston, the minibook I put together of our 4 day 'Beantown Adventure' is by far my favourite (so far anyway)!
Love your work!!!

Right now I am looking forward to making a mini book about a recent trip we took to the zoo. It was our 2 year old daughter's first time to go to a zoo and it was a once in a lifetime experience to see it through her eyes!
Congrats on the new book and the new baby! I am prenant with my 2nd child as well and look forward to seeing how you scrapbook such a big event!

I don't know that I have a favorite project, and since I haven't scrapbooked in FOREVER (nearly 2 years now), I am thinking I need to get started somewhere. I really would like to do mini albums for my four boys about their lives at the current moment, highlighting favorites, friends, interviews with them, etc. And since I am pregnant with baby #5,it would be nice to incorporate them into a project for the new baby as well.

I've recently starting doing some mini-albums. I did one for my cousins little baby girl. And I've completed one for each of my sons. And now I'd like to do one of all the different Christmas ornaments and decorations that are special to me and my family.
