| I had been meaning to turn the first year of this blog into a book since the first of this year-but I had never gotten around to doing it. Last week I bit the bullet and did it. It was quite easy and straight forward. I chose the option to let it be automatically formatted in the least amount of space possible. Even so, I had nearly 350 posts in 2009. The book is 218 pages long. Yikes! Which made it pretty darn pricey-approximately $95.00. Yikes again! |

| It had a dedication page-which was fun! I dedicated it to my daughter, of course. (I even snuck Rocco in there.) When and if I show this to her-I can just see the ol' eyes a rollin'. She thinks I'm a silly, old, fuddy duddy. (I kind of am.) |
When you choose the auto-format feature, sometimes the whole post is not on the same page. I can live with that because formatting it myself would have been a big pain!

| Here's the back. I had to sneak a cup o' tea in too. (You know-because of hot tea-get it?) The look of this book reminds me of my old yearbooks. I suppose that's what it (sort of) is. Now my computer-free mommy (silly lady) can read my blog! I ordered this book from Sharedbook. It's $24.95 for a 20 page hardback book and 35 cents per page after that-hence my very,very expensive scrapbook. I'm not quite as long winded this year-so 2010 will be easier on the ol' pocketbook. |

It's definitely a treasure worth sharing. My mom struggles with her computer too -- so this would be perfect. And I think your dedication is touching. So there.
Oh I love it! Someday Hoper will appreciate you-it may be many, many years, but she will!
It's beautiful!. I was thinking of doing the same thing making a blog book for my first year but I'm going to wait a couple more months to do that. Angry Chicken blog just did the same thing but she did it herself and it looked like a lot of work. However the book comes about it's just beautiful to share with your family.
Ladies-I think you all need to order a blog book too! as a treat for yourselves and your families. :)
This is such an awesome idea. I had another blog (now closed to the public) that is very family based. It could easily second as a keepsake book if I had it printed it up. Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
oh yeah,I must do this one day too. It's rather pricey, but totally worth it :)
That's so cool sissy!
What a cool idea, I'm sure your daughter will apprciate this in the future. It's so much better to have hard copy of the little thing. Take it from me I just lost 2yrs of photos cause my drive crashed. Wish I had printed them out.
Love your blog.

Thanks, Joelle.
That's happened to me before too! Ack!
