Something wonderful happened a few days ago.

My blurb book was delivered!

Yes, the culmination of more than a year's work,
my entire reason for blogging,

finally arrived!

It is a beautiful and professional looking 12" x 12" coffee table book
with black linen cover and a glossy white dust jacket.
It even has a copyright!




I love it and I am so pleased with my accomplishment.

Thanks bloggers, especially Marci,for your inspiration.





If you are reading this, you are probably pictured in there

somewhere among the 384 pages....





So come and visit me and thumb through the pages

You can stay in the new guest room (pictured on page 319).







This is such a fantastic way to save our memories and photos

If you haven't done it, I highly recommend it!

It snowed last night







Chloe and Rembrandt went out this morning to check it out

She took these photos . . . which I think are great

Remember way back in July of 2009

when I started my blog?

of course you do. . . I am sure you think about it all the time.

Remember the purpose was to record my past and present,

then, bind it at the end of a year?

Well, it has been nearly a year and a half

and my book has finally been sent to the printer.

The editing process of transferring from blog to book took all day,

every day,

for 3 weeks!

I sent it to the printer yesterday,

and I don't know what to do with myself today.

I am so excited to see it!
