How do you capture family moments during the holiday season?

We have decorated at home for Christmas and have put up our tree

with its glistening ornaments, sparkling bright lights, and golden ribbon.

We have hung our homemade stockings by the fireplace, have put up our 

Jesse Tree and baked cookies that fill the air with goodness and we continue to
make family memories each day.  It all sounds so wonderful, but we want to
remember those lovely moments, and so this is where Blurb comes in.  I have made
photo books in the past and why not create one for the Holidays too.  

I enjoy looking back at our photos from previous family moments while curling 

up by the fireplace as I turn each page.  I love that Blurb makes their photo books 

look like storybooks, except that it is our story.  Not every moment is wonderful,

but I love to look at the changes of each year.

It is amazing how children change each year, how decorating styles change 

from season to season, and it is all captured by images in a book.  

The great thing is that we get to share it with our 

parents, they get to view the moments they have missed due to distance. 

I would not like you to miss an opportunity to make your own memories this year

and share it with loved ones, or even create your own cookbook with Blurb because

even that would make an awesome Christmas gift.  So I am sharing with you

you have all day today to get your memories into a book.  Use this code: AWE35

Hurry on over before the sale is over, remember it is only until 12/12/16.

Thank you for stopping by today!

This fall, Blurb is highlighting makers all over the world. They will be focusing on each person's
craft, on their culture, on their traditions, and on their favorite moments. One of those people 
is Paul Lowe, creator of Sweet Paul magazine.

his childhood in Norway and provides a delicious recipe. You'll love Paul's stories of gnomes, 
trees (and tree-related disasters), food, family, and memories. At the end of the interview,
