A cool, possibly expensive, craft and keepsake

Thanks to Allison who recommended I look into putting my blog into book format. I mentioned that I wanted to print it out for Anne someday for her to read. Allison said there were programs that would put it into a book for me. I looked it up and found one that I liked. I spent about 3-4 hours today working on it. (I know, it's a lot of time.) I did just the first year of Anne's life and next time I do a book I'll do the second year, which will catch me up todate. The book was 58 pages and with shipping costs $37. However, it's a really nice book. It's hardcover and the website has some really great perks. First, it uploads your blog completely. You don't have to do anything other than give it your blog ID and password and it uploads it for you. Then you select the entreries you want. You can move things around, pick from 20+ page/picture layouts for every page and even add colors, boarders, background designs and even pictures. Very very cool. I'm really excited to get my book in. I think it's going to be really nice.

Ps. You can even write a regular book and they'll bind it for you, make a cookbook, and lots of other options.

This sounds very cool. You will have to let us know how it turns out.
