I {Heart} Blurb

I am so excited about Blurb Bookify! I’ve created books in the past, but I admit I was hesitant to download the program to get started. Even when I’m working with a very trusted site, like Blurb, I’m hesitant to download and install things on my computer and avoid it when possible. And, as someone who’s received a beautiful Blurb book as a gift in the past, I know the printing is gorgeous and the quality is top-notch.

As part of the Bookify launch celebration I received a code to create my own book. I think I am going to make a Square Hardcover book of photos of my kids to send my husband for Christmas. After checking out a sneak peek of Bookify, I know the hardest part of making my book will be picking which photos to include.
