The last few weeks I have had the opportunity to work with a number of great companies. Their products are perfect for gift giving. Over the next week or so, I want to introduce you to a few of these companies, in hopes that their products make your holidays easier.
Continuing our ode to gift giving, today I want to share with you another great gift to give that special someone. You can find my first suggestion here. Be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of this post.
Have you heard of Blurb?
Blurb is a creative publishing platform that allows anyone to create, share and sell a professional quality book.
- create a baby book of baby's first year
- an archive of your blog
- a cook book of your favorite recipes
- a photo book of your family pictures
- a quick book of your instagram or facebook photos.
A few weeks ago our family took a trip to a family wedding. I put together my first Blurb book on my laptop in our hotel room. It was so fun and simple.
In about an hour, I created a facebook album full of my hubby's favorite photos. I am going to give it to him for Christmas.
I simply went to the Blurb website and clicked on "Make A Book." I then choose a template and that is when the fun began.
With a very easy to use template, I was able to access all the facebook photos that I have posted, as well as any photos friends and family have posted that included me. With a simple click of the mouse I added all the photos I wanted included in the book. When you add the photos, you can also choose to add the captions that were on facebook, AND the comments if you want. You can leave the facebook captions off and add your own if you prefer.
I was very impressed by how easy it was to organize and arrange the pictures. I finished things up by choosing and designing the cover. A few days later our Blurb book arrived in the mail.
What a great gift a Blurb book would make. A book full of pictures of the grandkids for grandma and grandpa. A book full of favorite family recipes to share with siblings. Blurb books would also be the perfect way to "scrapbook" your families life.
Once your book is completed, you can also share it with others on your facebook/twitter or website, blog- you can even sell it for profit.
Want to win a $50 dollar gift card to Blurb? Of course you do. You can use it for yourself, or for that special someone this holiday season.

I love blurb books. I make one every year with the content from my personal blog. I've been doing this since 2008. These books are among my most prized possessions. I tell my husband if we ever have a fire,one of us gets the kids out, the other needs to grab the blog books.
ReplyDeleteI love this. how fun to to be able to look through all you have posted for the last 4 years. I would be grabbing the Blurb books in case of a fire too!
DeleteI will start by saying to all that have COPD or Emphysema should please stop here and read up my story, So as you will know how to get your CURE. I had Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for 15 years, My first symptoms were dry cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath. My first chest x-ray only showed bronchitis. Finally I went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with COPD, Am writing this article to appreciate the good work of General Herbal Center, that helped me get read of myCOPD/Emphysema that i have had for about 17years now, with no cure. After seeing a post of a Zom Sanchez from US on the Internet teying of how she was cured by Native Herbal Clinic prescribed remstifedies . I also decided to contact then for a cure and i purchased the medicine , because all i wanted was for me to get totally cure and to be free of it all my life. i Am happy today that they helped me and the remedies worked and i can proudly say that i am free from COPD and i am cured completely
Deleteits not worst thing to have COPD/EMPHYSEMA as a begin,you can reach Native Herbal Clinic:(nativehealthclinic@gmail.com or whatsapp +2348140073956

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Blurb is perfect for that.
DeleteMy brother and his wife welcomed their first baby this year. They live in Washington. The rest of the family live here in Utah. I would make a blurb book with photos of all of my baby nephew's family members so that he can look at our smiling faces everyday even though we are far apart. ♥

About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
My name is Cora L. Sanchez from UK
My boyfriend of a 2year just broke up with me and am 28 weeks pregnant. I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again. Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes, my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time. Generally he is a very nice guy, he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along. He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot. After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change. I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with. I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe. He texts me once and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy, he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy. i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my boyfriend came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my boyfriend are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe. I suggest you contact him. He will not disappoint you.
WOW!!!

Hello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.
