BLURB
This is not a sponsored post (obviously, ha!)- just a statement of my love for a site called Blurb.
Back in the day, I found it in a Bride's magazine I believe, I saw something about a website called Blurb where someone made their own books and... wedding album. Blurb has various book size and paper types to fit your needs, very customizable, AND has the professional quality to it.
Checked out the site and knew that I was going to use it when the time came.
Fast forward to after our wedding, I compiled photographs from the photograper, relatives, friends, and family to curate and create our very own coffee table book/ wedding album.
It legitimately took me forever. And I also ordered two smaller copies of our book for each of our parents. They loved it! I think my mother-in-law still looks at it like almost every day! :)
Anyways, with how easy it was to put together with their downloadable program and with how much I liked the end result (plus nowadays we are all taking pictures but they all end up on our computer, not really enjoyed like pictures of the past): I made a 2013 Lemon Family Yearbook at the end of the year and decided I was going to make a yearbook every year to document our lives/family/etc.
(I am even working backwards to make a 2012 yearbook outside of our wedding AND a combination 2010-2011 book to start from when we got engaged.)
These "yearbooks" are not all coffee table size like our wedding album, but smaller landscape books that will more easily fit on shelves as we go through the years. Additionally, I will try to keep come common features to tie them together- but I won't be strict about it.
For 2014, I habitually updated it along the way throughout the year so within a week after New Years, I was able to send it out to the printer. And now it's here!!
I would totally recommend this to all.
Happy Monday!

Jess I love your Yearbook idea. You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteThanks hunny! It has been quite fun- and pretty easy to do once I started updating it like at least once a month or so to keep up with it! Not all at once, otherwise it would have been too much!
DeleteI see you have been doing some modeling- Gorgeous- can't wait to see more!!
