Photo Book #1

Back in 2011, I had these grand plans of creating a photo book for each year of our lives since mid-2008 when I found out I was pregnant with Miss Priss. I started my first book early 2011 making my way through the first 6 weeks of Ella Grace's life. Fast forward to May 2012. The book is still untouched and my goal was to get through 09, 10, 11, and 12 to-date while on maternity leave. I maybe got through another 5 pages of creation and wasn't making much progress. Fast forward again to Sept 2012, 3 weeks before I head back to work. I received a coupon from Blurb.com, who I was making the book through, and told myself I had to get 2008-2009's book done. I worked about 4 hours at a time many, many mornings and pulled a really late night the night before the coupon expired. And, IT'S COMPLETE!

208 pages and 556 images later, I hit the Place Order button and received it in 4 days. I am so happy with it! Even though most of the book is using a point and shoot (before I got my nice DSLR), all the images look so great! I highly recommend this company and now need to get started flipping through over 11,000 images (yes, that's right!) to complete the next 3 years. All I have to say is "I'm so thankful I've kept up with this blog because if I didn't, I would have no information to put in these books."

I snapped a few images of it but they don't do it justice.
