2010 Blog Book

Once again, I took a year's worth of posts and made them into a book with blurb.com. And once again I am thrilled! Excellent quality and great, user-friendly software makes for a happy customer. I really, really love that feature they added last spring where you can create your own layouts and save them. That saved me tons of time with this year's book. It took me a week of working on it to finish it all up from beginning to end, where in other years it's always taken at least 2-3 weeks.

Anyways, here are a few pictures of this year's book. I always try to change up the cover colour, but now that this is my 5th book, I'm running out of gender-neutral colours. I think next year I'll have to go with my favourite colour: Pink!








This edition is 385 pages.  Not as big as last year's, but pretty big, none-the-less.  Perhaps an indication that I didn't blog as much last year:)

  1. okay, I'm just going to say it- I'm jealous. The entire thing is incredibly beautiful. What a legacy for your children!

  2. oh sheesh Amy, I was happy with mine until I saw yours. :) Just kidding, I guess that would be a very unhealthy attitude, maybe just a tad jealous. :) LOVE it!! I finally did a yearbook of last year (not really a blog book since I'm not faithful enough with my blog) and I am really hooked on Blurb now...they are GREAT!! Thanks for introducing me. :)

  4. Thanks, ladies! Kelsey - the title of the book is actually comprised of three digital alphas:
