Photo books

These photo books have changed my life.  I am going to make a book for Rachel's 1st year and a book commemorating Elizabeth.  Then I am going to take my blogs and transform them into books.  I love that this relieves me of the guilt I've carried for not getting my scrapbooking done.  I have bought a lot of scrapbooking supplies over the years.  But, I am not a scrapbooker.  I am a blogger.

This is the book I made about Doug and me (100 pages).  I used MyPublisher through Costco.  I am super happy with the quality of paper and the printing.  They have different sizes of books, styles and layouts.  And they often have great deals.  These books would normally cost about $92 each.  I payed about $140 for all 3 copies.  I love that if I want more I can just order another one any time I want.  Love it!

  1. I couldn't agree more!... I tried. I really tried to love Scrapbooking... it was fun.. it was nice but it wasn't me and actually journal if I blog instead of just prettying up the photos... and it takes a fraction of the time.. and time is at a premium these days... I've used Blurb.com, to chronicle my blog, and the kids years albums... Your book looks fabulous!!!

  2. Blurb.com looks really good. I may have to try them. I did a little valentine book at shutterfly.com. The quality didn't compare to MyPublisher.

  3. Your books are beautiful. I have used blurb.com and shutterfly. Not impressed with shutterfly. Love blurb. Might have to try MyPublisher. It looks like the hard work and time of organizing all those pictures really paid off- again they are gorgeous.

  5. Wow, your book looks incredible! Can you transfer blogs straight across to MyPublisher? I want to see your book in person and of course a book you make from your blog too. Let me know when you find any other deals through MyPublisher again. I just printed my blog from last year, but there is always more books to be made.
