My favorite present this year





This was a complete surprise to me, this present from Hubs. It's my blog, in book form, for all of 2008. 265 pages of 181 posts. It's awesome!! I was so thrilled when I opened it. I definitely want to get one of these for every year of blogging from here on out! Before I started blogging, my journal-writing was minimal and my scrapbooking on life support at best. So to have this record of my life in writing and pictures not only in digital but now also in book form, is just awesome. I love it!!

Hubs ordered this from Blurb.com. This book is 7"x7" and cost a little over $50 including shipping. Hubs spent HOURS and hours on this, with several different layouts and different page backgrounds. It looks great and it's so much fun for me to read through. Thank you Hubs!

Glad to know blurb is working again. We've been meaning to get around to this. My scrapbooking was DOA.

What a great gift! This is what I will be doing with my personal history entries when I get it done.

sooo cool. Told my husband about it and he said, "yeah lots of hours...". Guess I won't be expecting this for Christmas next year. Drat!

This is totally cool.

I've been thinking about all the possibilities with this idea; this morning I decide to go through old emails I wrote in 2004 (when I had four kids under four, and life was more crazy than it is now) since emails to my family are the closest thing I have to consistent journal writing, and put them with correlating photos into a book like this. It would take a while to do but it would be awesome.
