Happy Friday Stamp & Scrapbook Expo friends and fans, Becki here with another amazing giveaway. This time, I have something a little different that I’m really excited about. (Honestly, I wish that I could be eligible to win this prize.) This week we have a great book to share with you. Memoir Your Way: Tell Your Story Through Writing, Recipes, Quilts, Graphic Novels, and More is a fabulous new book.
Here’s what you need to know about this book: Be inspired with this book for crafty people! Memoir Your Way: Tell Your Story Through Writing, Recipes, Quilts, Graphic Novels, and More is full of ideas for capturing meaningful moments, people, and places in our lives. The chapter titled “Reinvent Your Scrapbook” shows how to experiment with fun flaps, folds, pockets, and pull-outs to add stories to your pages. Why not use ideas from the food chapter to make a cookbook scrapbook that tells the stories behind each recipe? Or a fabric scrapbook that draws inspiration from the quilting chapter? The possibilities are endless! The book even includes chapters on nurturing children as storytellers, writing personal and family stories in a graphic novel format, and other memoir-related topics. The book’s six authors call themselves The Memoir Roundtable and include a writer, scrapbooker, cookbook editor, quilter, literacy expert, and graphic novelist. 
In this example by co-author Katherine Nutt from the scrapbook chapter, the “cheese chest” opens to reveal a nonsense question-and-answer-game that her grandmother played with her.
Here’s the story of a bear’s unexpected visit to a campsite (with moveable magnet character).
This scrapbook keepsake for a favorite aunt highlights some special memories with her.

What a fun book anand a great way to capture treasured memories!
Looks like a great resource and great fun!
Looks like a great source of inspiration. Especially the chapter on reinventing the scrapbook!
I have long believed that our scrapbooks should contain not only the good, but the bad, not only the big events like Christmas and birthdays, but the small ones, too, like shopping for groceries or household chores. These things that seem so mundane to us will be treasures to others, and a true view of what our lives were really like. They will be reminders to us long after we have forgotten the simple things.
Super duper cute book! Would love to see this cutie in its entirety . 🙂
Something different! Intriguing ….
Good ideas for quotes and memory pages.
This book sounds like it would be lots of fun and a great way to get the stories told in unique and cool ways!
I know I won’t be around many more years due to major health issues but have been struggling to tell my story for my three grandchildren so they can say that they knew me even when I am gone! I think this book would help me get what I want to say out of my head and onto paper! Fingers tightly crossed! ??????
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!
This seems to be an interesting book. I always struggle to find ways to write. Might be able to spark ideas.
Looks like a book to guide you through memory lane.

What an interesting book concept. I love it!! I think it would give me the chance to think outside the box and get unstuck!
What an amazing book idea. At age 70 I am thinking about leaving information about my life to my grandchildren. In 50 years of marriage we have moved 29 times so there are lots of stories and traditions to pass on. Will look for your booth at the scrapbook show next month in Mesa!
It appears to be an interesting idea. I’m always looking at new things to try.
This is a great idea to capture those stories we thought we had forgotten until something triggers the memory. I had thought about putting something together like this for my grandchildren but didn’t know where to start. Would love to win this.
I love, love, love reading and this looks like a fun one!!
Wow! I have hand written recipes from my grandmother, mother, and four of my aunts. I’ve never thought of doing pages with the stories of who wrote them, why they were so loved and even making them so I can take a picture for the page. This book must hold lots more ideas I’ve never thought of, maybe I’ll get it sent to me?d
Thanks for a chance to win this neat looking book. I could really use it for the story-telling ideas and scrapbook ideas!
The cookbook idea sounds awesome!! What a great way to hand down family recipes!
Fingers crossed! Book looks awesome!
What a neat book to have. I wish I had a scrapbook from my grandmother, which has inspired me to make some for my granddaughters, but new ideas are always welcome. I also have fond memories of Cleveland. Every Christmas my dad took the 6 of us there to see Santa . The Santa photos are one of my favorite keepsakes from my childhood.
This books looks amazing! I hope I am the lucky winner. Thank you for the opportunity!

The book likes it would take my scrapbooking/memory making to the next level!
For me, scrapbooks are memoirs. I love including short stories about memories I have or that have been shared with me. I think it adds to the meaning of the page and the pictures shown on the pages. I am always looking for new ideas, though!

Love Books. I believe this would be very interesting and help you to make a truly unique scrapbook about yourself. To often we are left out of our own scrapbooks…. seems like time to consider your own story with all you love and do included.
Love to get new inspiration for scrapbooking or card making. Journeling is always difficult for me, maybe this would give me new ideas.
Very interesting

Future generations will be amazed at the way we did things, traveled, communicated and our style of crafting. Looking forward to rethinking my story. Thank you for the chance to win.
I often find myself telling stories to my kids about my childhood. I love the idea of putting these stories in writing. It really is important!
This book sounds amazing. There are so many stories I want to tell but struggle to get them down on paper in a way that does justice to the event or memory. And let’s face it…we never scrapbook ourselves. I’m lucky to even make it in a picture! I would love to win this book so I can leave something about me for my kids.
Looks like a very interesting and new take on creativity. Always looking for new inspiration!
