Special B-day Giveaway: 2 BLURB BOOKS Convert Your Blog to a Book!

:: THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. TO SEE IF WE HAVE A NEW GIVEAWAY, CLICK HERE. ALSO CHECK OUT OUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST TO WIN TWO MORE BLURB BOOKS.

Today is our baby boy’s 3rd birthday. Jack was the inspiration behind our own baby blog 3 1/2 years ago which eventually led to the creation of BabyBlogAddict.com.

In honor of Jack’s birthday, we are giving away TWO BLURB BOOKS (each valued at $29.95)! If you are not familiar with blurb.com, you will be amazed at what they can do. You just download the blurb booksmart program for free, then you can actually turn your blog into a book. Check it out here, then be sure to watch the 5 minute tutorial about how easy it is to create a blog book. This is awesome for all of you baby blog addicts out there!

If you don’t have a blog, you can also use blurb to create photo books, travel books and more.

I always read about how your blogs are your journals and baby scrapbooks. Now, you can actually print it out in book form!

I’m about to start Jack’s first blog book, so I’ll be posting more about blurb when I work with the program and get his book printed. I can’t wait!

Here’s how you can enter this giveaway:

1. Go to blurb.com and check out all the cool books.

2. Come back to this post on BBA and leave a comment letting us know what kind of book you would create.

3. Make sure we have your contact info (email or blog address) in your blogger profile or comment itself, so we can contact you if you win. Only one entry per person per giveaway.

We’ll select TWO random winners then post them here on BBA next week. Each winner will recieve a bookmaking code good for $29.95. We’ll be giving away two more books to our Halloween Costume Contest winners too!!!

This contest runs: Monday, 10/13 – Sunday, 10/19/08 at 7:00 PM ET.

    I love the blog book, but my husband’s family and I have decided to do a family cookbook this year, so it would be so hard to choose!

    So cool! I’m thinking that this would be an amazing gift for my sister. She’s written a really cool story that she 4 year old daughter wants to hear every night and she’s expecting again. What a cool gift to give her – her story, illustrated by a friend, in print, for her! So cool!
