Here is the front of the cover....now mind you, I had to do this three or four times, the first time was the best but my computer kept freezing on me.
This is my family blog, which I have just now shut down.
Table of content...

Now I have a book about my experience in Amerika Samoa. I am just thrilled how it turned out...I noticed that once I got heavy into my quilting blog, I stopped blogging in the family one......
My quilting blog is next!
Here is the link if you want to make your own book.
What a fantastic idea to keep all the memories of your time there..... great - from what we can see it looks great too!

Barb, that is just awesome!! I love that so much, and what a wonderful memory for later...
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb. It looks so interesting.
ReplyDeletecongrats!! lol!! I've seen this publishing of blogs things but never known anyone to do it. Great thing for family, like a diary all printed and bound.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I know what you mean. Once I started blogging my quilting, my art work blog posts became pretty scarce even though it is the same blog. But then, I consider quilts ART! So I guess I meant "my posts about my paintings"
ReplyDeleteI have thought about doing this with my hand piecing blog. I love how your book came out!!

What a great idea, Barb! That is fabulous. But I hope you mean that your are just going to make a book of your quilting blog...not shut it down! :o)
ReplyDeleteXOXO,

Fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous idea, what a great way to celebrate your time in Somoa! Sweet! I wish I could look over your shoulder at your quilting book....oh, wait, I have been doing that! lol
ReplyDeletegood for you.. accomplishments are always nice.
ReplyDeleteseeing your book on your family certainly gave me courage to do the blog I have on my husband's journey through alzheimers. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow,Barb! Congrats on your published book.
ReplyDeleteBarb - Your book looks fantastic. What a great idea. That will be something you can look back on again and again. Good job -

How fun, Barb! That's a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWell, you deserve to be published in other ways! I was following your other family blog, and noticed you hadn't posted for quite some time. I want to publish my blog, so thanks for the link. This blog is supposed to be my journal.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing Barb, how long did it take you to put it all together? The index alone must have been quite a feat. I'm very impressed.
ReplyDeletePlease say you are not going to close your quilting blog!!!
ReplyDeleteBarb, this is something you'll really treasure in time to come.
ReplyDeleteHugs & ♥♥♥s,
Gerry
That is just awesome Barb! What a wonderful way to remember this posting.
ReplyDeleteSo are you shutting this blog down also? for the move?
Hugs,

What a wonderful idea! Most of us don't have journals or diary's anymore and I like the idea of saving my blogging entries in a book form. How cool is that?!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Barb! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI've seen those advertised- yours turned out well!! Might have to try that!!! It's nice having it all in print!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link. I've heard of this and think it is a wonderful idea -- just didn't know where to get started.

ReplyDeleteThe book is beautiful! I've been planning to have my "happy thought blog" made into a book for my computer-resistant parents for Christmas. So glad to see how gorgeous they turn out!
ReplyDeleteI want one, too. Maybe that will be a present to me sometime soon. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to keep your memories!! I had heard about blog books but never seen one, thanks for sharing the pics!!
