Blog to Book!

So awhile back a friend of mine did a blog post about getting her blog turned into a book. I had no idea there were programs that could do that and got so excited! I was on a mission and didn't waste anytime trying to do the same. First I went to the website she had ordered her books from Lulu.com. I'm sure its a great site, but I'm not very computer literate so I need something that is very straightforward. This wasn't. Not to me anyway, so I googled "turning blogs into books" and found a great website blurb.com. All I had to do was download their book making program (which was free) and then it transferred my blog right into the program and in book format. Then I could go in and rearrange it the way I wanted it. After a few days I sent it away and in a about a week I got this...

I LOVE it! and so do the kids. They love finding the stories that are about them. We definitely treasure it and I can't wait to make our 2010 copy! Everyone should look into this! It is a great thing to have! By the way, I spent $30 on my copy. Its hard cover with colored pictures. So worth it.
