my book, i have made a book!

it all started when my friend, jill, graduated from, umm, graduate school. i wanted to give her a present, but i was pretty sure she had all the house necessities she could want. a gift card is boring. no clothes, no candles, no picture frames.

ooo, pictures. that could work. she's moving away from chicago and she just might want a momento of the city she has lived in the past 2 years. and i just happened to have taken quite a few pictures since i've been here.

but which one is the best. her favorite or my favorite? i couldn't decide on one. so i picked 40 pages worth and self-published a book via blurb. yeah, it's a real website. it arrives in 2 business days (i'll put a lil picture up) and i'm very excited! i will be able to give a gift that means something and is handmade but doesn't look like macaroni art.

the next best thing is that i can sell the book on the blurb bookstore. here's a handy badge:
