Here it is....I am so excited. I have 2008 in a book. Yep, a whole year's worth of journaling and pictures and it's beautiful. I have 2007 just about ready to send off to print and then I will have two....hooray! I am now excited to work on 2009!
Check it....here is the fabulous cover
Some of the inside pages...
And the back....
Do you so totally love it? I do. And for the technical schtuff...I ordered it through blurb.com. I made my book by hand because I had to get the pictures without watermarks from my computer, but they are now slurping blogs into books, so all you have to do is go in, download the software and enter your blog. You will then have the makings of a book that you can customize to your liking. Excellent. Also, there is an option to upgrade paper which will then optimize photo quality, etc. It is only about $5 more and I plan on trying that option for my next book.
Holy Smokes, Lou! You are famous now!! I always knew you would be with the talent and intelligence you possess. Landon got the gold mine with you. :) You go, girl. That looks awesome. I have seen one or two books like that with people putting their very own pictures and stories in... I am SO interested in doing something like that. I bet it's a ton of work but very rewarding! :)
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought I couldn't love blogging anymore!!!
ReplyDeleteCompletely, unbelievably ecstatic to see you this week!!!
P.S. your book is amazing. Of course. Do you have any flaw? Nope. I'm a permanent fan.
I LOVE it!!! I'm totally doing it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and marvelous idea!!
Who needs scrapbooking?! (unless you are Tammi and can keep up with it and make it look so cute) I love the cover of your book, I'm getting so excited to start mine...
love it! I just heard about these last week! I am into the whole digital scrapbooking thing & hope to use the Blog to cut & paste...but this is looking pretty sweet!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great...I'm excited to try it. But I'm a little technically challenged, so you may get a call for help!!
ReplyDeleteE, you are turning into a blogging fool. :) A new post every day...impressive, I can't wait to give mine to Thomas for his b-day. mostly so I can display it. :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a genius! How do you find these kind of little life perks?
ReplyDeleteSurely you knew when you posted this that everyone (including me) would have to copy this - I love it! What a great journal you have for 2008!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot to see it in real life, mine was gorgeous but really small I cannot wait to see what a whole year looks like. Thank you again! BEAUTIFUL cover too. love ya, later gator, Tammi
ReplyDeleteI meant I cannot wait to see it in real life. I really do need to proof read stuff.
ReplyDeleteCOOL! It's beautiful. I love the pears on the back. I can't wait to do mine!
ReplyDeleteyour turned out great!!! I'm still working on mine for 2008...just need more time right?? Thanks for sharing your tips and idea's!
ReplyDelete-k- so I'm not really sure how I came across your blog. I think it was a friend of a friend had mentioned that you did a Blog Book. I love the way yours turned out. Did it take forever? I think I will be doing mine by hand also. I slurped it, but it didn't bring over all my pictures. Which brings me to my next question... Where do you store all your pictures at? Do you use flicker or some other place? What size of book did you create? Sorry so many questions, but I would love all the help I can get from you since you've made one. Thanks Again!!
