Da Hughes Ohana: My blog book

I finally got my blog book in the mail! Trisha told me about Blurb for printing out photo books, and I really liked the idea for turning my blog into a book. I only wish I did it for every year I blogged. This first book is from 2008-2010, and would have had more than 400 pages. So I had to condense a few things and it turned into a 240 page book. It was pretty easy; blurb basically slurped all the info from my blog into their server. Then I just had to tweak it to my liking. I"m going to start making books for every year that i blog.

Also, I'm super stoked that my picture was picked as an Amy and Angie favorite on I heart faces! The theme was "innocent wonder" and the picture i submitted was a random one that I didn't even like at first. I was doing some crunches and Isla kept wanting to get on my legs to "fly". So I snapped a few pictures from that angle. Check out all the other photos from that challenge. I was really excited too when I saw that Kelle Hampton was going to be the guest judge. I adore her blog and she's such a great inspiration. Thank you so much I Heart Faces!
