It also got me thinking about how much the girls love looking at pictures and how all my photos are just sitting on my computer (I've stopped getting them printed because they just sit in a shoebox). I've thought for a long time that I just need to put photo books together for the girls to enjoy and it got my thinking about my 365 day challenge. By taking at least one picture everyday I have a great overview of our family life this year that I can put together. It got me really excited for the possibility of this book so while everyone slept last night I started working on it.

Because I have the photos I want to use in a specific place already it didn't take me long at all to put it together. Just a couple of hours to design the layouts and add the photos. Now all I need to do is go back and add the date and a little synopsis about the photo, well, and wait for the year to end.
I'm really excited about this project and it definitely has my wheels turning about other things I can do. I have also seriously considered creating photo books for others as a business (not of my photos, but of theirs) and may see what I can put together in the coming year to get the ball rolling.
here is a few examples (i.e. screen shots of the book)

It looks amazing! I started out doing this project, and then got distracted by moving in February, and this makes me really want to try again in 2010!
this is beautiful! I'm interested if you're serious about doing it for others... I love the outcome but definately lack the patience and talent you possess.
Love, love it. Your photos look amazing in this format. I tried to do a different version (more scrapbook-ish) and faltered after the first month. I could do this! Thanks for the inspiration.
I really should do this... I've made two blurb books for other people, someday I want to make one for ME!
I've got so much guilt when it comes to blurb books. I NEED to get mine going. Gah!
Of course, if my pictures were as gorgeous as yours, I'd be a lot more motivated:)
This looks great! I totally need to do something like this.
I love this idea! You're becoming a "pro" of Booksmart. I also starting my first year of blog and almost finish the book... Last thing I have to do is the 3 last months and re-read everything!
Anyway! Keep going in all your projects!
Fabulous! I keep thinking of different blurb books I want to make -- now to make time to do them. It seems the perfect thing to do to showcase photos so that people can enjoy them!
So cool.
