I had so much fun making my blurb book. I decided not to include my first year of blogging, and any of the unpleasant Matt stuff, because it is my blurb book! Haha. Reminds me of a saying I have tacked up that says: if it's not in the scrapbook, it didn't happen. Snaps to that!!!
And the spine... one of my favorite features of making this:
Eventually I am planning on making both a book about both my grandmas. This summer I'm making one for my sorority. Almost everyone in my house is hooked. Two girls have already made blurb books for their moms for mother's days, and Kate made one for her boyfriend.
first things first
- the voodoo that you do: why "creole wisdom"
•about the name of this blog, and the woman behind it - creole wisdom: behind the camera
•my method & goods - reviews: sorority snaps [alumni version]
•snaps for good things that I like - i blogged through college
•baby, I have come a long way (err, hopefully) - creole wisdom likes paper + pictures: scrapbooking pages
•come see the madness

I love seeing these because it helps convince me that I really want to make one. I keep thinking my blog won't look good in a book. :) When it "sucks" in your blog does it format it weird? Can you change the sizes of the pictures? Delete things? Fix mistakes?

Thank you so much for sharing! I've wondering about doing this for ages, but I wasn't sure how it would turn out! Now you've convinced me. Thank you!

I LOVE my blurb books! They are just so cool. I love how it can make you blog look like a work of art -- a masterpiece! I've got a book or two on my to-do list as well. Blurb is the best!
*Oh and I totally love the ultra clean/minimalist look of your book. I did mine the same way!

I'm like Emily in that I keep thinking that I need to do something along these lines. But I am sooo worried that it might not turn out to be all I want it to. Is it difficult? Could you fix stuff?

I love my Blurb books too - so awesome to have your blog at your fingertips. Lily actually likes me to read to her from it sometimes for her bedtime story :).

Wow, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I plan to make a wedding book. How is the photo quaality once you have the book in your hands. Are the pics just as clear as when you took them? It's hard to tell from your pics of the pages.
