I've been up working on Jackson's scrapbook...I'm obsessed with trying to finish it. I'm doing it on Shutterfly.com, which I am really enjoying by the way. I'm just having the hardest time choosing pictures and keep getting sidetracked reading through old Blogs. I was just looking through entries and pictures from this time last year, and I am in a state of shock. Life, please slow down. I'm not ready for my baby to grow up! Ahhhh.
For those who care to see it, I'll post the link to Jackson's scrapbook when I finish it. A few more all-nighters and I might just finish. This, by the way, will be the only scrapbook I've ever completed (although I've started 5 or 6 haha.) It's crazy the things you'll do for your baby!

i love shutterfly books! i have made two, and i just love the finished product. good luck!
You can also use a program called Blurb to make a book out of your blog posts. I did it for Father's Day this year, and it turned out great! It pulls the posts into a book for you, but it does take a little work to make it look the way you want, but is not hard. It was just another way to preserve the things that you want to remember going through!
I just ordered a blurb book a couple of days ago. I did it from our blog posts of D's first year. I discovered that you can be just as creative (and more so) than Shutterfly and others like it. That means it could take a while but it can also be done quickly if you want to just import and drop in. I am going to try to do one for his second year too and just import all his blogs each month so I am not trying to do one year at a time. I love the fact that since it uses the blogs, it only has the best pictures etc... that I already have picked out. :)
Can't wait to see your finished book!
Ha! I'm actually working on it right now! Yeah, I do plan on doing a "Blurb" if I ever get around to it. It's just that I haven't been good about making my posts grammatically correct, etc., and I know if I were to do it that way it would take me WAY longer. But that is on my list of goals. This one is more like a picture scrapbook with few words, just captions and a few stories here and there. I should have been more diligent about my Blog posting and a Blurb would have been easier to do. There's just so much I left out and so much I didn't take time to write well. Can't wait to see your Blurb!
