I published by own blog book!

Holy Cow! I haven't posted in two days because I was busy publishing my blog in book format!
NOT as easy as they would have you believe, but worth it.
Thank God I didn't wait and print the entire year all at once, just Jan 4 - May 23 was 200 PAGES! AND I DELETED ABOUT 30 PAGES!
It took me so long because I wanted everything to have the same font, so it would look cohesive.
I am going to do my Cook Everyday Blog in August, when it's 6 months old.
I am going to publish June - December in December.
I went to Blurb.com
Lulu didn't work for me.
So it cost me $74 bucks, but now I will have all things I have written and pictures too, bound in a gorgeous leather hard cover book for my family to keep forever.
There was a dedication page, title page, just like a real honest to goodness book.
SO FREAKING COOL!
NONE of the pictures I downloaded from the internet would work, the software caught it and spit it out, which is fine with me, I just wanted pictures of my family and stuff anyway.
So... I'm back! I can't wait to get my book in a couple of weeks!
**Oh! I say Ciao at the end of every single thing... yeah... not anymore. Took me forever to take them all out of the book.
So here is one big CIAO forever!
I also noticed I write OY VAY a lot. It's like I'm channeling Yentl or something!

  2. Thanks for the heads up. I started bloggin because I wanted to publish it into a book for our family. I am waiting for the year mark, but maybe I should do it sooner...and maybe start sticking to the same font. Hmmmm...something to think about.
