Ali, thanks so much for answering my question in your Q & A. I've been writing down all of my layout ideas and have even made a couple of pages!
Anyway, I plan to do a family history minibook. I think it will be fun to pull together a few photos from each family member and write down a few of the crazy stories repeated every Thanksgiving!

My favorite mini-book is titled "13". It's done in a 4x4 accordion book about my favorite things pertaining to Halloween.
PS. Congrats on the new book and upcoming baby. :)

I just finished a mini-book on a trip we took to Chicago and getting ready to do one for a trip we took to Boston this summer. I love the idea of creating a mini-book to capture an entire theme...they are so fun to create and I feel such a sense of accomplishment when I've finished one!

I would like to do a mini book on my close friends, whose friendship I treasure. They have been there in good times and bad, and have given me solid little nuggets of help, advice, encouragement and all the love. (kim}

I love the mini books I made for each of the 7 states we have lived in over the past 17 years. It's fun to see how our family has progressed and changed over the years. I am currently making one about our move from Alaska back to the lower 48 this summer.

I would love to have a copy of the book. I am a huge fan, love your work. Aspiring to create beautiful memories like you. I am in the planning stages of a mini-book for my "BFF" (as my children would say) that moved away to Minnesota. I miss her dearly.

I used a rusty pickle book. It had a 4x6 book on 1 side & a tag book on the other side. I cut it in half and used the tag side. I didn't like the cream tags, so I made my own from green & blue paper. Square holes & rounded holes. I has pictures of my boys & hubby. I have it on my desk at work. I work in a print shop and everybody who comes in loves it. I can keep photos of my family next to me & my favorite colors & paper too. Did I mention green & blue ribbon? I love this book! Cute!!!!

Mini book I want to do: "What matters"
We have an ongoing family list and a book would bring it such a deeper meaning.

I have two favorite mini albums.. one is the Holly album I made for my mother, in rememberance of her dog, who was killed unexpectedly.
The other was made more recently, and is about a day in the fall our family spent together. It is roughly 6x12, with different shaped acrylic pages, and I just love the way it turned out. I used a kit from All Moments Remembered, and it was so easy to put everything together.

I love mini books too. I always seem to have a lot going on at once... kind of works in progress. My favorites are from my one day trip to Chicago and my ongoing Christmas card (ours) one. I also seem to make them as gifts often. Thanks for the chance to win.... :)

I so loved the "Favourite things" mini book you taught at Kiwiscraps Crafting Connection 2006! I have made several versions of it, (and used all the ideas in other projects too! Thank you) - it has been so useful, so adaptable, so stylish and yet so simple that it has to be my all-time favourite

Ali everyone wants your book...I hope they printed lots!
I love making mini books for my granddaughters. They love seeing photos of themselves playing with their toys, or doing just about anything. Oh to be so pleased to see photos of ourselves, wonder when that stopped for me. ha
Thanks and congratulations on your new little one. Simon is going to be a great big brother.
