I ordered a book of my blog the other day and when it arrived, we all went a bit crazy! The two oldest kids were just heading out the door for school and noticed the package between the door. I immediately said, "Maybe it's my blog book!!!?" I ripped open the box as fast as I could. Everyone wanted a quick look!!!
I was a bit skeptical about ordering a book like this and spending $$$ when I haven't ever seen a book done by this company before. Or any blog book for that matter. I wasn't sure how the book would look? I wasn't sure if I would be pleased with the print coloring for the pictures? I wasn't sure if I made a good decision. BUT ... it didn't take me long to smile with approval!
My blog book is a beefy, black, hard cover book. I have a picture of our family on the front cover and a picture of the kids on the back cover. I chose to print all my blog post starting from January of 2013 - Christmas of 2013. The book is complete with all my writings and all the pictures I posted. It was simple to download (well, after I had the updated version of Adobe). I am pleased.
I still want to scrapbook actual pictures, but having a fast printed out book like this, will be tempting to go this route in the future! It's much more personal because I write a lot more on a blog post than I do on a scrap booking page. I call it a "family archive"! I know it will be precious for many, many years to come!!!
I blogged for three years now and so having the other two years printed out in a book is on my "wish list". It does get costly but the memories are so packed full in a book! I haven't introduced it to other family and friends just yet, but I know it will be interesting to them as well. I also know that when I actually crop these pictures in a photo album (someday I wish to get caught up!!!), the journaling will be a breeze. I now already like to look back at my previous posts for scrap booking journaling.
If anyone else ever printed out a blog in the form of a book, please let yourself be heard!!!
Well, I am off for a night of scrap booking fun with some of my dearest girlfriends! I hope to really get a lot done!!! Yeah for cute photo's and scrap booking fun!!!
