On safari in Shikunga and swimming in Santorini.  Shopping at Saks on 5th Ave and skiing in Chamonix. You’re a ‘been there, done that’ type and you’ve captured these precious moments on camera to prove it.

Remember them by using Blurb.com – a service that lets you design and create your own personalised bookstore-quality photo and coffee table books. It compensates for all those photos you always intended to, but never printed. A crafty way to share (and show off) your memoirs in style.

Either download Blurb’s free software and design your book from scratch, or use a pre-existing template to put your pictures and text together. Books come in a variety of sizes and finishes and you can make one book or order for many.

Invite friends over for coffee and (casually) plunk them down next to your “I made it” Blurb book. Graciously accept compliments and add ‘published’ to your creds.
