My kids love it when there is a knock at the door. It is always so exciting to see who has come over to visit. Today the light tap on the door was the FedEx guy leaving a little package on our door. The kids were all excited to cut open the little box. And look what I pulled out.
It may look a little boring but this little book is a year worth of blog posts. I started my blog in 2007 and really wanted some way to save all my thoughts, pictures and stories that I have shared over the last few years. I have seen how other people have had their blogs printed into books so I finally did it. I used Blurb and did a very simple design and layout. It was actually pretty simple but time consuming. I had to go through each post and arrange the pictures and things the way I wanted it.

So far I have only done 2007. That means I have 2 more years worth of blog posts to go through. I have already "slurped" my 2008 posts into another book. I just need to go through it now and change the layouts and such. Now that I have done it once I can be a little more creative with this next one. The one problem I am finding is that I am really not a good proof reader. As I am sure any reader here can tell. I tend to just type my thoughts and publish without going over and over it looking for my errors. So now as I read through my posts I am very aware of my glaring mistakes. Hopefully since the book covers my early blogging attempts, I have gotten better with time and practice. I guess I will see as I go through the next year's worth. Hopefully there is progress.
So at the moment I am only two years behind. That is way better than I was with my scrapbooks. This is so much easier.
