  190. I have been wanting to do a photo book/journal about my daughter's "heart story". She had heart surgery a few years ago as an infant and the story is her personal miracle. I want her to know the details so she knows how special she is and can be proud of what she went through.

  191. I love blurb books! I use them all the time at work for company events. It's so nice to have all the memories in one spot. I recently made one for my parents with their pictures from Italy. I would love to make one of my boyfriend and I!

  192. Every year, I put together albums of the kids as Christmas gifts for the grandparents. This year, I'm planning on an all-Instagram book...this would be perfect! Thanks so much for doing this giveaway.
