~Remembering Mother Teresa today, her Feast Day~
On a side note, I just learned that you can actually print your blog! I am probably the only one who didn't know you could do this! Has anyone printed their blog? I am so excited about this concept since I found this link somewhere in my surfing. Like many of you, one of the many reasons that I blog is for family record keeping. In our busy worlds where we have less time for scrap booking and photo albums, blogging is a wonderful way to record the history of our family lives and faith journeys, to include photos. I am just wondering if it is expensive and looking for recommendations on other possible links or best prices. If anyone has experience and would share, I would greatly appreciate it!~Mother Teresa, please pray for us~

Tiffany, I just received my blog book in the mail from this company. Check it out -- I just tonight posted about my blog book. I recommend them!
ReplyDeleteWhen I realized how much it would cost to print my entire blog, I couldn't afford it. So instead, I printed out every page with the comments for those that were most meaningful to me and put them in binders. I have four binders full! The ink was expensive though, and I wonder if I might have been better off paying for the book. At this point, my family really has no interest in looking at my blog-online or in the binders. I imagine that after I'm gone, they will be a nice memory.
ReplyDeleteTiffany-I am hoping to do this soon too. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to scrapbook in this season, so the blog will have to do! Let us know if you end up doing it.
ReplyDeleteTiffany, re your questions on my blog: if you use blurb.com as I did, they give you the option of laying out the book yourself, or having a program lay out the book. I chose to lay out myself. That part was very time consuming in the beginning but when you get used to how it works, which is really pretty simple, it went rather quickly. I really enjoyed doing the layout myself. The book covers 2009 (only 6 months since I started the blog in July). It is a little over three hundred pages. The cost was $90 (that included shipping). From date of order until date of receipt was about 5 days. Even though the order confirmation said it would not ship before ept 5, I received it late August. I started laying out the book in early 2010, and did a little bit each time I had some time, and by the time I finished the book, blurb had an updated program where you can make the book cover a photo. I chose not to update the program -- didn't want to risk losing what I had already done, so I just chose the book dust cover and put photos on that.
