Blog Book

I've been under the weather for the past week. After a visit to the doctor to learn that sinusitis and an ear infection are the reason, I expected the doctor-prescribed amoxicillin to make me quickly feel better. But after six days, I'm not much improved. My blocked right ear makes my head feel as though it's wrapped in batting. I have various cracklings and reverberations in my head when I speak. It's aggrevating, and not at all conducive to feeling like sitting at a sewing machine. But enough whingeing.

Let me share with you my satisfaction over a recent book purchase. Blog2Print is a company that puts your blog posts in a print book. You can choose whether you want comments included, whether to have a table of contents, and whether you want soft or hard cover. You also get to write your own title, choose your book cover, and select photos for the covers.

I'm happy that I decided to spend the extra money for a hard cover book. It looks so impressive!

You can see that I plan to have more than one volume printed. 

This book contains all my 2009 blog posts.

When reading it, I was struck by the realization that it's almost like a dairy. A real chronology of my life and activities. It includes my trips to Australia, and New Zealand (see left page), and the many quilting projects I've had my hands on.

Volume 1 totaled 175 pages. I will soon be ordering Volume 2, for all of 2010.

On the dedication page I had the opportunity to express what this book represents.

I have no affiliation with Blog2Print, though I tried to get the company to allow me to host a giveaway for them. No responses to my inquiries. But, this book is definitely something to consider if you want to preserve all the hours you've spent writing your thoughts and taking photos. 

After all, who wouldn't want her 2011 Flourishing Palms - Volume 3 blog book to include a page of whingeing about sinusitis and an ear infection?
