My Christmas Gift

This Christmas Johanna had drawn my name to purchase a gift for. She got creative and came up with a very cool idea. She got some of my best photography printed and bound in a blurb.com book, and then she had them print, in softcover book form, my first three years of randallfriesen.com.

I wondered what the quality would be like but I am blown away by the clarity and beauty of the photographs, and even more impressed by the softcover books. It's surreal to pop open a book of the blog and read posts that I had written years ago.

What a very cool gift.

  1. What a great idea! Now maybe I can let myself off the hook for never scrapbooking any of Emma's pictures. Flickr to the rescue!

  9. I LOVE Blurb books. I am putting my blog into book form through them- it is sort of a mix of the photo and print books though specifically for blogs :) Very cool.
