OMC/OMD, IT IS HERE...

....is what Mom bellowed on Tuesday..
I asked her what all the commotion was about she said it is a surprise and told me to hold on to my kitty 'britches' (Southernese for panties).  She said I'll show you in a minute.
I said, fine 'whatever' (felinese for big deal)!!

Mom here: A few weeks ago, I was over visiting Casper, Jimmy, Archie and Ben four very handsome mancats at Cat's Cats.  (They also have a very gorgeous K9 sister Rio!!)  Their Mom posted about printing their blog (click on this link) Blog2Print.  I was eleated to read this because I had been looking into ways print our blog so I checked it out. It was so easy and so quick.  I completed the order on August 11.  It arrived on Tuesday August 16, 2011

TA DA here is the cover
 
Madi here: I was taking a good nap (note the look of disgust on my face) but that didn't stop her from asking Dad to hold it up behind me before she told me it was our My blog in print and let me see it.
 I really had no clue what to expect but as you can see I was about as excited as I can get when am awakened from my morning nap. However, since we all know when Mom is happy the entire house is happy so we have a  H A P P Y H O U S E!!
Mom here: There are several choices for printing, hardback and in color or a laminated softback in black and white. You can chose the time period you want printed and pictures for the front and back cover.  I wanted to print at least my first year of blogging June 27, 2009-July 31, 2010 and 320 pages, so I decided to go with the laminated softback in black and white w/o comments.  The cost was $41.15 which I thought was very reasonable for a year's work.  After seeing Volume I, I ordered my 2nd year Volume II today. 
I'm absolutely thrilled with the first volume and I say a great big
THANK YOU to CATS CATS for sharing the information.
Hugs from Madi and Mom

  3. That's fantastic. We saw Cat's and were very impressed with it.

    Can you exclude certain posts or does it just go by time period? In other words, if our mom ever wanted to do it, could she print the past couple of years but exclude the posts where Annie was so sick and then had to cross? Those are not times she ever would want to remember in a book, truth be told. Her memories are hard enough to carry as it is.

I've just GOT to get my mom to do one of these for our bloggie. How exciting! (Except I'm sorry you got woked up from your nap.)

    PeeS. I thought you oughta know that your bloggie didn't show up in our Google Reader dealie today for some reason. So the only reason we knew to come over here is cuz your mom and my mom talked about it last night. Isn't that weird?

  19. Oh wow! That is so cool.
    We have seen the link to do this but have never known anyone that actually had one printed. That cover is really cute (Madi, you should do magazine covers).
    We know you love it if you ordered volume 2.
