At the end of it I decided that I should do something more with them than just put them up on a website, so we decided to make some Christmas gifts for family. To that end, we made a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\/\">Blurb book. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"New Blurb Book by Troy And Naomi, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troyandnaomi\/3188260739\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3322\/3188260739_de57edefa3.jpg\" alt=\"New Blurb Book\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blurb is one of many self publishing book printers out there. I was able to make several inexpensive, but very nice photo books, in both soft and hard covers. You can print as many or few books as you want, so I got enough to give away to some of the family (and one for me too).   My book is 40 pages and I was really impressed with the quality of the colour prints.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"New Blurb Book by Troy And Naomi, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/troyandnaomi\/3188261123\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3398\/3188261123_74cb71818a.jpg\" alt=\"New Blurb Book\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We finished the book back in November, but had to keep it quiet untill after Christmas. It is a nice keepsake and a great way to share the photos and memories with others. I already have plans to make more books in the future.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out an online preview (and buy your own copy if you want) at:<\/p>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\/bookstore\/detail\/428376\/?utm_source=badge&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_content=280x160\" target=\"_blank\"> <img style=\"border: 1px solid #a7a7a7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; width: 116px; vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\/\/images\/uploads\/catalog\/64\/80764\/428376-56f7032f1fa1838c22b501d9e45c6569.jpg\" alt=\"Thru My Eyes :: United Kingdom\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blurb.com\/bookstore\/detail\/428376?utm_source=badge&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_content=280x160\">Thru My Eyes :&#8230;<\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>By Troy W.
