I got my new blog book for 2025 a couple of days ago. It's very different from my others, as the printer I used for years went out of business. I used Pixiebook last year, but I had no control over how it was printed. It's a gorgeous book, but I didn't like that the text wasn't with the pictures, and the pictures were all different sizes, with some covering a whole page, while others are postage stamp size.
So, this year, I tried Into Real Pages. I had a little more control and choice with them with the layout and the book cover. They also had a choice of soft cover and different formats and colors. I'm glad I picked the two-column layout. At least, the text is closer to the pictures, which are all the same size. The pictures would have been too small had I picked the three-column. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with it, and I do have a record of my creative efforts last year.
This is the cover I chose, and I'm only including a few of the 212 pages of the 9" x 12" book to give you an idea of how it looks. And, with the discount coupon, the price wasn't too bad either for a hardbacked book this size.
I have accumulated my own little library of blog books now, as I have one for every year I've been blogging, which is several. I love looking back through them and seeing things I forgot about. It usually inspires me to get busy! Not that I claim to be that good of an artist, but that I had that much pleasure creating anything! So thankful that I have this outlet to keep me sane!
Sorry the photos aren't better! I was trying to hold the book open with one hand and take the photos with my camera phone, which I don't know much about...
Take care! See you in the next post!
