Blog books . . . finally here!

Last Friday I finally received them!! My husband told me I had something at the door. And, yes, I ran to the door and screamed as I opened it. {Exactly what a teenage girl would have done.} I finally received my blog books! Woohoo! I was so excited.

I had worked on 3 of them. The first was from my family blog from 2010 - 200 pages long. For the two others, I'd decided to make a book for each of the girls about my pregnancy. I usually tried to take a picture of my growing belly about every 2 weeks and so that's some of what it contained.

I'm telling ya. Blurb is where it's at. {and they should totally be paying me for all the advertising I've done for them. but that's okay.}

Personal Family History Obsession: Blog Book

I used to be a journal writing freak. I'd write in my journal almost every single week. I still have one, but because of life, I don't get to it as often as I should. I also used to be a scrapbooker, but I think it just became too overwhelming for me. When I started my family blog, I thought that that was a perfect way to document our family history. A perfect combination of the two. I'm now a blogging freak. And thank goodness for Blurb BookSmart. They're able to "slurp" up all of your blog posts and put it into a book (you can have them arrange it for you or you do it yourself - - I did it myself). Amazing!

I just received the one I made for the past year and I love it! So does my little munchkin.



For some reason, I skipped 2008 so now I'm in the middle of working on that book (might be because there are a million trillion pictures due to the munchkin being born).

Do you put your blog in a book? What program do you use?
