Ready, Scrap, Shoot got me thinking about memorial albums. I'd like to create them for several family members, but first I've got to pull together the information. And find someone who has pictures I can copy...
It's going to be a project, but it's one I should start now, while I still can put their stories together.
Have you ever made a memorial album? Any tips for me?
When the author of the Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-n-Craft mysteries, Joanna Campbell Slan, emailed and asked if I wanted to give away twelve of her mysteries to my readers, I couldn't pass up the chance to spread my addiction!

Today's book is Ready, Scrap, Shoot
While creating a memorial album for the murdered beer heiress, Kiki becomes bait in a dangerous trap as threats from her old foe mount against her. With help from friends in high and low places, including hunky beau Chad Detweiler, Kiki finds herself facing a grave ultimatum: catch the killer or be cropped out of her own family album.

I really wish I had lots more time to sew, quilt, make cards, or get all my photos together into a scrapbook. Don't we all!
Would be nice to have a good book for our driving in a few weeks! LOL..he drives, I read! Thanks for the chance!
I like to quilt though it has taken a back seat for the last few months. Thanks for sharing.
I have tried to do memory albums of just albums. I did my granddaughters 1st and 2nd years and now she is 10 so lapsed there. I have collected things for my next youngest grandson to start his-he will be 4 in feb. bit hehind!
Woohoo! I didn't miss this one. LOL
Congrats, Barabara.
I don't do any type of scrapbooking. I just don't have the patience or creativity for it.
thank you so much i love good books. thanks again
wouldn't mind winning another in that line
Sounds like a great book. I sew, quilt, do some counted cross-stitch,and a bit of wool work. I would love to have more time to do all of the above, Thanks for sharing and for the opportunity on a great looking book.
Yay! Another book. Thanks for the chance.
In bed with a sickness bug, just keeping of all the jobs that need doing - this book could certainly distract me! :-)

Love the title of this book. Thanks for giveaway.
I love the idea of memorial albulms. Being a genealogist, I appreciate the importance of documenting the details & keeping the memories alive for future generations. I really need to make the time to start scrapbooking again. :)
Thanks for the giveaway! Happy holidays!
i read sew and quilt. would love to have more time for all of that. thanks and merry christmas. vickise at gmail.com
I quilt - don't have as much time for it as I'd like. I'd love to win this book as I love mysteries
I have done two memorial albums - one for each of my parents when they passed. One tip I would share is for you to get stories from others to include in your album. I sent out emails/letters to all family (and friends) for stories and got some nice ones back to include. Good luck with your album.
I love to quilt and hope to have more time once I retire next year.
