Finally! It came.

This year I had a bit of time getting this book here for my mother for Christmas. But, alas, it has come. And she loved it. So, mission accomplished!

About 3 years ago, she & I started working on a book of her Grandparents & their posterity. We had it mostly finished but never printed it up, until now. I finished it up and printed through Blurb. It's only a soft copy right now, as I am sure that she'll want to edit a few items. But it's pretty cool. I gotta hand it to blurb for their fabulous books!

It came!

My book came! It actually came about 2 weeks ago, but since I've been so crazy busy I haven't had the chance to show it off. First let me say that I LOVE IT! It makes such a huge difference to hold something that you created. It took me about a month to edit (it started out around 400 pages & ended up being 160 pages). But it was so worth it. And get this: someone came into my house, and actually read through a lot of the pages! So there you have it. A book--by me. My family history. And it was all made possible by this blog & blurb. I think that I'll get a jump start on Volume 2.
