I FINALLY ordered and received our family blog book for 2008 and I LOVE it!!! It took hours and hours of editing and organizing, but was so worth it. I now feel like it is worth so much more to blog. I know this book will be flipped through, browsed through, read, re-read, and loved for many years to come. I do believe I will switch to doing a book every six months so that the task is not so cumbersome.
Here it is, in its 244 page glory!
This is the back cover. It is written in a fairly small font, but means so much to our family.
I definitely recommend the image wrap cover. It really adds to the book and you don't have to worry about the dust jacket getting ruined.
FYI - I ordered it through blurb.com where you can "slurp" your blog posts to the program, which is fabulous! They have recently updated their program so I believe it runs faster, which is nice because it was pretty slow going before. This particular book cost me about $75 and I had found a coupon code online for free shipping. Not too bad for the quality and 244 pages. Compared to the other book making programs out there, this is a GREAT deal!

I love that idea! Was it very expensive? What's the website name?
I can't wait to see it! It looks amazing.
I agree. I LOVE our blog book. I am compiling one every year. It changes the way I blog too.Whoever came up with the idea is a genius!!
What a good idea. I wonder how expensive mine would be and how much time I'd have to spend getting it ready. It sounds kind of overwhelming to me, but if I wait longer it will be even more overwhelming. 244 pages! That must be a heavy book! Thanks for the information about it.
I LOVE my first book I made. I've got 3 more just begging to be finished. I blog differently now too. It's now more of a family journal.
yeah!! I'm glad you did it and I'm glad you love it. We've now got 2 books and I'm working on our 2008 now so at the end of the year it's not so bad. oh you gotta love the blurb!
oh.my. gosh. I am so glad you posted that! I can't WAIT to do that!!! Does it slip your pictures in too, or do you have to add em in all separate?? I am soooooo stoked for this ! AHHHH!
