At the beginning of every year I make all the blog posts that I have done for the previous year into a book. Well, I don't make the book, I use a company called Blog 2 Print. They make it so easy, you just write in your blog address and give them the start and end dates, choose a cover and order. A couple of weeks later a book arrives.
Here is my blog book for 2015.
It is a beautiful hard cover book containing all my blog posts and photos in date order, with an index in the front.
The quality is very nice; Here is one of the pages open.
They are almost like a diary that documents my life and although I don't post day to day personal information on my blog, I have posted major events like weddings and births. My sewing and those major events are the most important things that happen in my life so it is a bit like a diary.
I have actually looked up these books to check on information sometimes. I use the Blogspot platform and you never know, it might close one day or something might happen and all that information that I write could be lost forever. One day my children or grandchildren might like to look at them and get a bit of an idea of how I lived my life.
Here is a photo of all my blog books.
It's hard to believe that I have been writing blog posts for 5 years now! How quickly the years fly by. All the more reason to get the blog posts printed I guess.
Bye for now,
Linda
Linda I am so glad you posted this. For years I have toyed with the idea of getting some of my blogs printed before they get deleted by blogspot, and seeing yours have inspired me to get a wriggle on and do something about mine!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Gina, they do a good job with the books.
ReplyDeleteI too use Blog2Print my posts. They do a wonderful job...not cheap but sure beats writing in a journal everyday and keeping all those pics of our projects/art work!
ReplyDeleteI agree Robbie, it's worth the money
ReplyDeleteI love getting my blog printed too, and thought the special was good early this month, just forgot the exchange rate!! But I had posted lots more so the book was bigger.
ReplyDeleteMy book was a bit cheaper this year Judy because I had done less posts because I had been so busy minding Savannah. It's good to hear that other people do it as well.
