Do you print your blog and make it into a hardcover book?
I do,
because my blog is like my journal and it is the easiest way for me to save my pictures and memories.
I enjoy having it in print form so I can share it with my family and friends.
I have done this since I started my blog and now I have 34 of the these gray spined books,
scattered all around the house.
To the left and right of the blog books, you can see "scrapbooks",
I was a big scrapbooker before I started my blog.
I stopped printing in 2018, primarily because it took so much time and I thought one day I would catch up.
I never did...now the blogger site I used no longer prints into a book.
I don't want to much time to go by again, and I never get around to it.
I spent hours on the computer looking for a site that prints blogs into hardcover books, and came across
I thought the website was easy to navigate and the book fairly easy to prepare.
They make a lot of the choices for you and I was very ok with that.
So...if you are flexible with the way it is presented, not too picky, I would say this would be a great choice.
They selected all of the pictures displayed on the cover, from the posts that were included in the book,
they put the Volume number.
There were a few other things you could include,
I opted for clean and trim, I just wanted the name displayed.
The pages themselves are of a really nice quality, sturdy silk paper.
The hardcover has a matte finish photo wrapped cover.
The book is 8 by 11.5 inches.
Here is a peek at some of the inside pages.
I liked these pages, every so often there is a page that is just a picture.
Volume 2 starts on December 28 and ends on April 7, 2025
Two books with a total of 417 pages, the cost was $ 232.74 and I am happy with both the cost,
and the way the books came out. I will use them again as I go forward.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments, I will be happy to answer them if I can.
We are going to Longwood Gardens tomorrow, I will not have a post.
I will have a critter post on Saturday at some point.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Thanks for the note, I might have missed this! I show this site to Barb, we have not printed 2024 yet.
The books came out beautifully! Great job!
Your books are lovely and what a wonderful keepsake .
Have fun tomorrow and make lots of pictures for us please! LOVE your pretty books!! I was a big scrapbooker too, gradually stopping. Once in awhile I'll put together a small scrapbook for special events or something. I think those are 8x8, not sure, it's hard to find refill pages anymore too.
Really nice that you did that! I'm SO behind on family pictures. Linda in Kansas
Great. What fantastic books, great idea. I like it :-))
Best wishes from Viola.
P.S. I've knitted everything from head to toe for many years, including dresses and jackets... now I've gotten into sewing, making simple clothings for me and patchwork quilts... I love it.
So, it's the other way around for me. I wish you enjoy your yarn. - Hug -

Awesome 👌 👏 I love ❤️ this. Beautiful.
Happy Easter.
I would love to do this and think it would be well worth the money. I just need more time! Maybe I'll work on it this summer when it's too hot to get outside. Thanks for sharing my friend! Hugs!
Your blog books look good.
All the best Jan
That would be nice to have all your lovely pictures in book form as well as on the internet, and if you were ever to lose it you have it still, shich would be nice!
