today my second blurb book arrived in the mail! it is so rewarding to see all my journaling efforts and all of our fun pictures (which i NEVER print) printed out into a nice, lovely, black book (my choice of color...you can choose any color you like)! i LOVE them and i recommend blurb.com to anyone who keeps a blog. it's a LOT of work, but blurb.com makes it as easy as they possibly can. i get the 7x7 size and it is just perfect.
do you like? now i have to get to work on book three...which will consist of july-december of 2008! here are some of my favorite pages from book two (january-june of 2008).

i've gotta start my first blurb book. if i have any ?s, i know who to ask (;
Cute, cute, cute!! Hooray for Blurb.com. There's almost nothing more fun than those books coming in the mail. I can't believe you're already to the end of 2008 though! Lucky girl. I'm still working on June-Sept. of 2007!! I have a lot of work to do. I can't wait to see your newest book.
I have heard of this! Now it is time for me to act and get it done. I'm really excited to have this option. I have been saving all of my work to Word to add into my journal. Love to see the finished product!
I haven't made a blurb book yet, but I am looking forward to it. I figured that I would try to do a whole year at a time, but maybe that will be too much. Who knows? I am glad to know that someone has ordered one and likes it. I never print my pictures either. I guess I just feel good that they are making it to the computer :)
Those look so nice! I can't wait to do that with my blog...journal and scrapbook in one, who could beat that??
I was just about to ask you to please post pictures of your books and sample pages to show my family. I've got to do this too! This is one of the main reasons why I started a blog...to print a book. Your book inspired me! In fact, I want to go back and pull journaling off of my family website (11 years worth I believe) and blog it to print. Huge undertaking, but worth it! Divide and conquer...
Thanks for inspiring us!

I have heard about making these! Thanks for posting pictures of the product. I will have to check it out. You have such a cute blog as it is, and now it is a BOOK! How many pages are in a book?
Whenever you have a cute little family and publish a book about them of course it will turn out adorable! Can't wait to flip through it!
oh Blurb.com strikes again. I so want to do this...but it looks hard. What do you think? Is it hard to figure out? I liked your clue "it's a lot of work". I remember Elena working on hers, and it consumed her for a while. You're the second person to say something like...'it's work'. It makes me wonder (for us "things have to be easy" types) if it's worth it.
I LOVE yours btw. Beautiful. It just makes you feel that all of your effort was FOR something good after all...not just social gal gab.
Great Job Becky.
yes to everyone! this book is totally worth all the work. and it's not hard work. just time consuming work. but, i make it a little more difficult and pull all my comments off of my blog (blurb doesn't pull the comments automatically...bummer) to put in my book because i LOVE the comments too. my first book was 286 pages and consisted of 1 1/2 years. my second book is 196 pages and consists of 6 months.
That is really cool. I have never heard of blurb before, I'll have to check it out.
