Blurb Books: A Giveaway (Yippee!)
June 12, 2012
You may recall that last month I had the opportunity to attend BlogPodium. One of the sponsors was Blurb books - they donated all of the lovely notebooks that the attendees were given to make all our copious notes in.

Blurb books actually have a few ways you can design your own books - you can either use their online tool called 'Bookify' which allows you to use popular layouts to make your book, or you can download their 'Booksmart' software that allows you to customize the layouts and text.
One of the great things about personal picture books is there is no limit to what you can make. While at Blogpodium I stopped by Blurb's booth, and they had copies of books that some customers had created and they were all wonderful, yet completely different. There were books of Instagram pictures, and books of family vacation photos, and even a book made with a newlywed couple's wedding photos, but the one that caught my eye was one that was a collection of old family photos and recipes. It was made to celebrate their grandmothers birthday, and it was put together by her children and grandchildren.
