I have my own book!

For a Christmas present to myself, I had my blog printed into a book. I had thought about letting Adam wrap it as soon as it came in and put it under the tree for me to open on Christmas morning, but I couldn't wait to open it I knew that morning would be focused on Ava and I wouldn't be able to enjoy looking at it like I would want. That might be a tradition I start next year..... I wanted a way to be able to keep a hard copy of everything I journaled so Ava could read it many many years from now. I researched different sites knowing I didn't want to sink a lot of money into it since I planned on making it a yearly thing, but also knowing that I wanted it to look great. (Some of the sites I looked at woujld have cost $400+....no way I was paying that.) I finally decided on blurb.com- I had to do a lot of work myself - it imported the blog, whichever posts I wanted, but I organized from there. I knew there were certain pages that I wanted bigger pictures or more pictures. I am extremely happy about the way it turned out and can't wait to see next year's finished project. I really hope that Ava enjoys looking back at the story of her life.
