i am in the middle of making a family yearbook with the website heritage makers and, maybe it's because i'm a little slow, but i'm having a little trouble putting it together. i chose heritage makers because my sister hilary told me that they do a great job, but my other sister (no lyric i'm not calling you "the other sister". have you ever seen that movie?) anyways, lyric makes her photo books through shutterfly and is very impressed with them. i also heard that you can print out your blogs, so pretty much now i don't know what to do. 
has anyone ever worked with heritage makers and can walk me through it? i chose them because i was told that their bindings are stronger and the books are better quality than other websites. and as for the blog printing, does anyone know how that works and if the book and paper are good quality?the other day i was frustrated that nowadays we rarely print out our pictures and all of these wonderful pictures of our gorgeous babies sit in our lonely computers where they are easily forgotten. i want to show them off! so pretty much i decided to copy "the other sister" lyric who makes a family yearbook every year. 100 pages of her favorite pictures during the previous year with clever comments throughout. i'm excited to get it going but i'm kind of at a stand still with heritage makers. HELP!
oh, by the way, these pictures are soley for my mother-in-law who begged and pleaded for more pictures of "her baby". there ya go karen. we love you.

Blurb is a good site to use. My friend showed me her book and it seemed sturdy and it was pretty inexpensive. You can also just download your blog through blurb to make it into a book.
Let me know what you decide to do. I've wanted to do something annually as well, but don't know who to go with. We need to get together sometime girl! Maybe do a picture/crafty date?!
I made a blurb book and am making another one. IT was sooo user friendly! It is decent priced and I was impressed with the quality. You can come see mine if you want.
yippee! Found your blog!
mine is 4methisisheaven dot blogspot...you get the idea.
glad you made it to book club tonight!
p.s. I did a my publisher.com book and really liked it. I've heard that blurb doesn't work for blogs anymore.
Blurb does work for blogs now..it wasn't working but I just made one last week and I am anxiously waiting for it to come. If it really sucks I'll let you know but in my head it is fabulous.
I looked yeasterday and it was the same ole stuff how is it you posted Wed and it is Fri and I am just getting the update THAT'S WEIRD! YOU ROCK! I live for your blogs (yes I know that is sad but true) I am missing your cute face again though! Love ya, MOM II
Lexi and Quinn,

Love your gut!

so, i've used blurb and heritage makers. blurb is totally user friendly, but if you want the book to last a while, i'd use heritage makers. it's gonna take forever to do and may not be as cute, but they bind their books like library books so they're nice and sturdy. my wedding book, made by blurb, is super cute but i feel like i can't look at it very much because i'm afraid it's gonna rip apart sooner if i do. there ya have it. lame comment. but not a lame sister.
Your little guys is so dang cute and getting so big! I love seeing him grow, cause I watch my little guy grow everyday so I forget how fast they change. He is so cute!!
I vote we choose the cheapest one :)
that last comment was from quinn if you couldn't tell. mr.cheap himself.
i love you anyways.
