We celebrated this guys 70th birthday this weekend:
It was a three day party that will officially take me the rest of the week to recover from.
In preparation for this special celebration we collected letters and photos from family and close friends which I then designed into a 260 page book. It. Is. Fantastic. I can only hope that when I reach that age that I have touched just a fraction of the people he has.
The details:
And although a very time consuming project, I love it. I have this passion for collecting and preserving memories and projects like this combine that with my love for design. Happy Birthday Bob!
I read Shawni & Dave's blog and saw that you had made this memory book. I love these, and was just wondering which company you made it through? I love that you could make a book longer than 100 pages.

Beautiful work on this book. I am curious like Jana with what company you used for publishing! Just stunning work you did on it!
Yes, do tell for those of us who are curious what all you put in the book (types of history) and what program. Lovely work.
I was reading a post by Shawni on her blog and she had a link to this amazing book that you made!! Would you mind sharing who you went through to have this book printed?? It is amazing!
Thanks so much!

The book was printed through blurb.com. Blurb has three different ways you can print – use their internet software, use their downloadable software or use your own software (adobe indesign) and upload the PDF. I chose the latter – so I could make it 100% mine. I believe you can print books up to 440 pages, which I have done when converting my blog to an annual book.
