Make Your Blog Permanent - Create A Book

Part of my fall decor on my coffee table

is now my blog - in book form!

Those of you who were with me in the

spring might remember two days when my

blog completely disappeared - no explanation!

After nearly a year of pouring my heart into 

my blog, it was very disheartening to find

that it was shut down.  Two days later it 

was back, but it was then I decided I wanted 

a permanent copy in book form.

Another company was recommended to me,

but I couldn't get it to upload my pictures,

and after two days of messing with it,

I went online to see what people suggested.

I ended up with Blog 2 Print and within 5 minutes

they were able to tell me that I had too many

pictures for one book.  I decided to split it

into 3 books and each one literally took less

than 4 minutes to upload.  I  then just had to

pick my cover and pick a picture for the front

and for the back and that was it. 

So I went from this 

to this-

When I received them in the mail,

there was such a sense of relief

that I couldn't have it all lost 

overnight.

The coffee table has changed

for Thanksgiving with a 

floral that I made in neutrals.

I started by filling it with foam

and then added silks, natural

balls, a silk artichoke, calla lillies

and a tassel.

The turkey goes fancy in organza

and velvet.

Everything sits in a tray with a 

bronze scarf anchoring the 

trayscape.

A pretty ceramic pumpkin

finishes out the vignette.

I had over 3600 pictures to upload.  Each book

cost me about $100 to print but 

they range from 200 to 300 pages each.  The 

above is the compressed version, which ends

up being cheaper and I prefer it.

This one is the other option which is

printed exactly as the blog is done.  I felt

there was too much empty space and it

is more expensive as it takes more pages.

This would be a great Christmas present

to yourself.

(I have not received any money 

from Blog 2 Print, I just wanted to

share this with you and tell you how

pleased I am.)
