I made it one of my (many) summer projects to start turning our blog into a book. I was spending so much time doing double duty (blogging and making photo albums). Well not anymore!
I researched a few sites to turn your blog into a book and found blurb.com to be the best. I worked hours and hours (seriously) downloading the blog way back from May 2007 before she was even born!! I just worked a little every night. Once I got started I didn’t want to stop. The biggest pain is changing the font and picture layout.
I have made 3 books so far and did them in 6 month increments. I thought it was going to be so expensive- and it does cost money but after getting 3 of my books in the mail I am so happy with them. The first book was the shortest because it was back when I only blogged once a week and the book was about $35 but I got it hardbound with a cover. They turned out soooooo good. I love them and now have all of memories and stories in a hard bound book.
Here are some pictures and they just do not do the books any justice!!
One of my very first blog posts and first pages in book 1
A page from book 2
You can add extra pictures and really personalize how ever you want.
All you bloggers out there need to do this. What a great way to preserve the memories of your family!

I've wondered how the books from Blurb turn out!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Now I'm motivated to get that done. :)
That is great! I need to do that for the two other blogs I kept before streamlining to Jack and Theo only. Thanks for the tips!
I had no idea you could do that!!! I have a feeling I'll be spending hours doing that soon...I blog about everything fun that we do and I use our best pictures, so why should I bother scrapbooking separately? Good luck with the transition back to school!
