I finally bit the bullet and turned my blog into a book! Well, actually, 2 books, because it wouldn't fit into 1! I had 4 years to organize, over 800 posts & almost 3000 pictures to deal with. I kept it simple and after editing for a million hours- I just gave up and said who cares? So my 510 pages are filled with spelling errors and typos and I don't even care! I'm just thrilled to have them in my hands!!!
I am SOOO grateful I did it too. I really debated because I knew I should keep making double payments on our credit card- but I had such a strong feeling I should do it too, so when I had a few extra cleaning jobs come my way, I decided to FINALLy do it! (We also had a scare last month where we thought we had lost ALL of our family photos- thousands of them. We were sick to our stomachs and it was honestly awful to imagine all of those years gone. I was a little comforted because the blog covered the last 4 years- but I started thinking, what if ssomething happened to the blog too? So I really prayed and felt it was the right thing to spend the $ on! Luckily Trav recovered our pictures and they are now safely copied)
I can justify it in so many ways too! # 1- my blog has become my personal journal. # 2- I'm keeping track of what the kids do everyday # 3- it's a wonderful family history book that can be passed down too!...somethings are worth the money!
