My Books Came!




It was a good mail day! I have been searching for my favorite book from 4th grade and finally found it on Amazon. I remember Luvvy and the Girls being the best book ever, and I can't wait to read it again to see why I liked it so much when I was ten. I also got my new blog book in the mail, and I love it! I made it through Blurb.com and used a coupon code Jennie gave me (BLURBTREAT) to get 20% off and free shipping. I think the coupon is good through November 24th. I highly recommend making a book out of your blog. It was easy and the finished product is very satisfying, and fun to read and share. My book includes all of 2008. When I do 2009, I'll be careful not to use backgrounds that are too dark to see the words, and edit the pictures more carefully. It's 188 pages, probably took 10 hours to edit and cost less than $90.00.

I'm so glad you like it! You are so creative - colored back grounds. I'm boring. Mine are just white. Can't wait to see yours.

That is fabulous! I'd actually like your 2008 blog book, not mine. Seriously, I'll tell my hubby that is what I want for my Christmas present. We love your blog.

Isn't good mail the best! I really want to try that too.

I just did the same thing- used the Blurbtreat...but mine hasn't come in the mail yet! I can't wait to see how it turns out- it was my first try with blurb. Here's a hint with dark backgrounds for the 2009 book: you can change the font color to white and it will show up better.

You've inspired me to check out amazon for my fave 4th grade book. I haven't seen or heard of it in years!

Amazing that you remember your favorite book from 4th grade. Thanks for the blurbtreat idea. Sounds great!
