Look what arrived on my doorstep on Friday...

My blog book!!

The whole reason I started blogging in the first place was so that I could print it off every year and use it as our family journal. (And a photo album of sorts since I rarely print our pictures.) There was a Groupon for Blurb a couple months ago and I decided to try it out for 2010. It was A LOT more work than I anticipated (the website says it "slurps" your blog into a book for you... but for it to look right you have to create a layout for each individual page and reload your pictures since blogspot reduces the file size when you load it to your blog) but was so, so worth it!! I hope my kids will love it as much as I do some day!

Now I suppose I should get 2011 up-to-date... so the few of you who actually read my blog can stop staring at our Christmas tree.
:-)

Here's a few pictures of my favorite pages - there were 230 pages all together!

Seriously awesome! I may have to get a few tips from you to get started SOON. I told myself I was going to look into this and have been thinking about this for SO long.
So have you inspired me? yes!
Am I still jealous? yes
Do I wish mine was already done?yes
Will this get me to do my own now??
let us pray for me!

ps I have totally missed looking at your blog, I would peek in here and there, but never had the time to look very close...
I am now going to go straight to the blogging world before I go to FB! I can do it! :) FB is such a waste of time, yet so easy to waste my time on there.
