Turning Your Blog into a Book

I found a site called Blurb (if it was on your blog, I am sorry, it has been so long that I don't remember where I saw it first) and thought it was a great idea. There is also lulu.com. I just found it. It is a site that prints any book you want.

I used to be really good about writing in my journal, but it hasn't been a priority lately! I wish it was, but my blog has mostly taken its place. The problem is, I want my children to have access to the stories and pictures. Who knows how long Blogger will be around or if my kids will be able to find what I have done. I haven't published any of it, yet, but I want to try to do it yearly, so it is all in my possession!

Prices at Blurb start at $12.95! It goes up from there and I'm sure it would take a ton of pages to print my whole blog. You download their program for free and you can edit your book as much as you want, so I don't have to include all of the idiocy! ;)

Oh, and looking a little closer at the website, you can make LOTS of different kinds of books. You can do cookbooks, photo books (I'm thinking Grandma and Grandpa needs one of these.) Wedding books...it goes on! I'm really excited to do one. I'll let you know when I do one how it goes.

Wow...that looks incredible!

And you know what's so cool? The other day Neil was expressing his concern that we don't have a hard copy of my blog. I feel so appreciated!

what a great idea....I would totally spend too much money on that if I had it to spend.
I sometimes print off my blog posts and glue them in my journal...thats why I always buy journals larger than 8 x 10. Usually sketchbooks work.
