Blurb Book Giveaway

Bykendra

Before I became so invested in this blog, I used to be pretty good about keeping a personal family blog. I keep thinking I will get my life in order enough to post there again. It served a lot of great purposes. I could share info with family and friends, but more importantly, it served to record my family history. I was so thrilled when I first learned that there was a company that could “slurp” the photos and information from my blog and turn it into a published book!

Blurb can publish any kind of book, but the ability to transfer the blog to the book is what really got me excited about Blurb. Twice now, I have taken the blog and put it into hardback form. (You may note that 2006 is missing–so I’ve got another book or two to make).

This process can be pretty fast if you use a standard template, etc., but you can customize fonts backgrounds and everything else. Which of course, I do, which means that spend a long time putting the books together. But here are some examples of the different kinds of pages I put together in these books.

There were too many fun pages I wanted to show you! I can’t even begin to tell you how much my kids LOVE looking at these books–examining every picture and reading every word! I really wish I had one for every year!

But you should know that even if you don’t have a blog, there is some kind of book you will want to make with Blurb. You can make a book of your Instagram feed in no time flat. You can also upload your Facebook photos, make a recipe book, and who know what else!

Which is why I am excited that I get to giveaway $50 to Blurb to one of you! Just enter through Rafflecopter below! You can make a Christmas gift for someone special, or maybe for yourself!

  1. I would make a book titled “The Tilbury Troops” lol. We have 6 children so there would be PLENTY to make a book about.

    From their childhood milestones to their quirky little comments. I started a journal for each of them the day before they were born (I was induced with them all) and I have continued ever since. But the journals are just words. I would love to be able to add photos too so that the kids can see their lives on pages.

    Thanks for the opportunity.

  4. I have been working on a 400 page blurb book since April that would cover about 4 years. It isn’t quite ready to print but it is close and $50 would cover half of it. Here’s hoping I win!!!

  8. I would make a book of my family… Sadly enough I don’t blog as often as I should (just stock awesome blogs like yours:)) I used to scrapbook and I stopped in 2007, but have fallen in love with BLURB!! I would love to win this, it would give me an incentive to finish another book five years later. 🙂

  27. I would definitely use it to print a copy of my blog. It’s called Our Story and it’s about our journey to start a family – from infertility to adoption – to now having an open adoption with our daughter’s birthmom. I have been thinking about printing it out for a long time.

  39. Your books are too cute! I’m totally in love, and can’t wait to try it myself. I think I will try to do the blog extract from my family blog. Such a great idea!

  41. I just recently completed two Blurb books, my first two ever, and I’m hooked. My first book was documenting our first ever trip to Disney World; the second was a family album for 2011. I’m currently working on a 2010 family album and would love to win this giveaway!
