Published!

No, not me really.... Unless you count SELF-publishing! I finally got around to making a book I've been wanting to make: a year-long scrapbook compiled by our blog. Ever since I started writing blog posts, my grandmother, pretty much weekly, has been saying, "Amy, you need to make sure you're printing all this out! What if it all disappears?"

So, I researched the possibilities, and found my new favorite company, Blurb. After I switched over to Blogger, it became relatively easy to "slurp" everything into the Blurb book-making software, and finally I formatted it enough to order print copies. The results, I have to say are quite cool. I don't think I'll have to do real scrapbooking anymore-- this will take its place. The quality is better than I expected, and the price is reasonable, too (probably less than I might have spent on scrapbooking materials and pictures). I highly recommend this company to all my family-recording blogging friends!

I have one year done now, so next I will continue the arduous process of copying over my old Vox posts into this Blogger site so I can make my 2007 book. And then it should be easy to do 2009 and all the years after.... I hope!

Some sample pages.... (This year's book is 160 pages long!)But speaking of being published, the REAL, actually-published person in our house of course is Peter. Look how cool the flyer was for his book at the conference he just attended:

Unfortunately, even with the 35% discount, the book still costs $75, so we're expecting sales to be slow, but still it's exciting. :)
