I have read about eBooks for compiling real estate-related blog posts, but I have wanted to make a real book, with hard cover and paper pages, of my personal favorites... just for me. I decided to make one last weekend, and it jus
t arrived. I LOVE IT!
These are my favorite posts - about my favorite vacations of all time, my brother who died, my mom who is a total fun hog, how I learned lessons in life, and why I like to blog. I've written about being an aunt of substance, about our landing on the moon, and about my summer of Woodstock.
It's all my favorite writings.
I have found that when I am bummed, or want to be uplifted, I go back and read my favorites that I have written through the years. They seem to remind me of who I am.
Looking at my husband, who is a contractor, I realize that he has homes he has built as concrete proof that he existed. He looks with pride at our home, and others around town, and remembers what an awesome builder he is. For us Realtors??? It's more ethereal. We help homes sell. We make dreams come true. But there is nothing concrete left behind.
But now I have my book. I wrote it. It's me and my private thoughts. It's me at my funniest, and my most poignant, and in the raw.
And it was pretty easy to do. You copy and paste you copy from your blog post. Then click and drag your photo images from your post, and save them in a file. Then once you are in Shutterfly, you import the photos from your file into your project. You can change your backgrounds for each page, and design your own cover.
Now I can't wait to get depressed, so I can sit and read my book.
