I just finished this mini book tonight, although I hesitate to call it “mini”. It’s an 8 x 8 book but its huge! I put way to many pages in it. I love it though, it is all about the trip we took last summer to Yellowstone National Park. I have been saving things for it all year and been meaning to finish it long before now. Ironically, it was exactly a year ago today that we left for our trip!
I’m only going to post a few pics of it here, but there are more on the mini books page
I added all kinds of stuff to this. I picked up brochures and newspapers at Yellowstone when we were there so I cut various tid bits out of those that I wanted to use. I also used postcards, decals, and even a little brown paper bag I got from the giftstore there. the pages are all various sizes and the embellishments are totally mixed up. As I mentioned in a previous post, I’m all about using up my stash right now. So I hauled everything out that I wanted to use and spread it all over the floor in my scrap room. What a disaster it looks like!
Yikes.
Here are some photos of what the room looked like before I made it look like a minor explosion happened in there… and to think that in the next few days all of this stuff will be packed up in boxes….I’ll miss this room.
Did you notice that there are mini books everywhere around the room? And that doesn’t include the bookshelf full of them in the living room and the basket full of them on the floor. What on earth am I going to do with them all? I sure hope my mum won’t mind getting a whole bunch next week!
Anyway, I should get off the computer now and get to work on cleaning up my lovely mess…
Just a couple cute kitty pics I took yesterday:
I love your book – you have such creative ideas for each of your pages! I hope you continue to have time to do this and share it with us! 🙂

That book is awesome! Great way to document your trip 🙂
Love your little scrap space! Thats what mine has looked like for the last two weeks while I am trying to finish my big 12×12 for my grad party. Can’t wait to have it all cleaned up here soon.
Cute pics of the kitties too! but I miss seeing the puppies too 🙂 … where are they? or are they not going to be able to move with you? Just wondering. They are so cute =)

What a great book! I never use the 3-ring type of scrapbook, but I can see how useful it is for adding brochures and such. You did a great job on this.
So where are you going? i had to pack up my scraproom when I moved to Japan a year ago. I started out with it organized, but now it looks like a big mess again. Ahhhh- it’s home now, though.

Love your book. I’m a mini book freak. Seriously. Anyway, love what your did with your book, the 8×8 size is interesting and I might have to do something like it with our Disney pics. Love it, thanks for the inspiration!

Love your kitty cat. Cute pictures. I know that this change has got to be huge for you. I actually really don’t know how you are doing it. I certainly hope that you don’t leave scrapbooking behind too. Your talent would be sorely missed. I love your mini book. You put so much of your heart into it. Until your next post…
