Only if ya wanna... :)

I had very high hopes for getting my Halloween story posted IN THE MONTH OF OCTOBER but then I got sick and spent then next week in bed. I'll finish it and post it asap. HOWEVER!! I've been working on a project for a while and I'd love your help. Anyone and everyone! When I tell you, you may be interested in a similar project for yourself as well.

A friend told me about Blurb. http://www.blurb.com/ With Blurb, you can create your own hard bound or soft bound books. I've decided to put all of my Stories into a cute book. I'm putting all my Digression stories in this book along with all of YOUR comments because they bring me GREAT JOY! :)

This is actually going to be my Christmas gift to myself cause it's like $60 for the size of book I need. This will be Volume 1 since there are plenty of stories left to still tell. :) I'm already up to 50 pages in this book, so that is under a buck a page. Seemed like a great deal to me and it will be like my journal since I'm horrible at keeping one. :)

SOOO!!
If you'd like you to have your name and comments in a book that I'll cherish the rest of my life, then you have only a week to leave them on any one of the 12 stories! I have to get it in soon so I can have the book by Christmas. :) I was GOING to ask if any of you would also like to get a copy, but at that price I figured you could just come to my blog. haha!


I better get working on my Halloween story... Hopefully you'll get it before Thanksgiving comes along. :)

I don't want to deflate your excitement, but I recently contacted blurb about the problem I was having with "slurping" my blog to their software for a new book I wanted to make just last week. I also did a blog book with them earlier this year.

So now I wanted to work on another blog book and they no longer support blogger, only typepad or livejournal. Sad huh? I was very frustrated when I first found out. I don't know what I'm going to do now.

You can still "copy and paste" your stuff from your blog to the booksoftware, but that's a pain. It was so much easier when the software could just download everything itself.

Oh that makes sense why I was having problems with it. I ended up doing it the long tedious way of cutting and pasting and yes! it took a long time, but for the most part it's done finally!! Whew!! :)

THANKS Jennie! Love and miss you. Tell Trevor Hello. :)

I'd like to request that you dedicate an entire page in you blurb book to the wonderful delicacy known as Vegemite. I have a wonderful photo of you savoring a bite of the wonderful concoction. :)

So any comment we've already made will be in it...? or we need to make another?

Sorry you were sick!!

Stacy Householder said...

Yes, your older comments are already in the book! :) :)

A couple people have also asked for a copy.. which was surprising, so if anyone else wants one, lemme know and I'll let them know the price, when I find out. :)

This is so much FUN! :)
