What to do with the 1,000+ pictures from my semester in Spain?!
Make a photobook of course!
I don’t scrapbook (yet), and photo albums are just too boring!
So I’ll make a photobook!
A year and a half late, but I’m doing it!
And it’s going to be fabulous!
How to make a photobook
How I did it: It was a 21st gift, so first I spent a long time running around finding as many photos as I could from her friends and family. I then culled the photos down to the ones I thought had to be in it.
I found a photobook printer website which was near me and downloaded the software to make the book. Over the next two weeks I spent time culling, rearranging photos and pictures to make it look good. Then I ordered it.
Its painful, but the hardest thing is just getting started.
Lessons & tips: Just do it, browse the web for a place that does it then download the software and do it. Its worth it
the first one is the hardest

that since my 100 things that make me happy are all going to be photographs with descriptions by me, that I would make a book of this as well, to remind me of the things that make me happy. This is my favorite goal so I will add to it, the goal of making the book. I have downloaded the book making software from blurb . This software looks awesome, I have already put the first 9 things that make me happy into the book and it is great. It is making me sooo happy (so I will ad that to the things that make me happy-this is getting so easy and self referential!)
This book stuff has led me to another goal as well…
I decided I’m going to set myself a deadline of December to get my first even published photobook. Everyone is always telling me that my photos are good, and I’ve decided the theme for 2008. Age.
Hopefully by self-publishing, and by keeping prices down as to be affordable – people will want it!
Kansans love their auctions….even if they have to wait 4 hours for the one thing they want to come up…this guy stood at this trailer for 30 minutes for one 5 gallon bucket of miscellaneous screws!!!
