Things are going along very well at Crumpie's. The bathrooms are sheet rocked and taped and the next plan is for them to be painted.
The windows are in and the cupola is all clapboarded and we actually got the primer on it so it's all white now. Mom forgot to bring the camera today so the white cupola picture will have to wait until next time.
Mom has a project going on at
blog to print.com
We're making books so that we can have the lives of Maggie and Mitch together forever. You can only publish 1500 photos in one book and seeing as we have been blogging for over 5 years, we need more than 1 book. Believe it or not, we have over 7,000 photos so we're working on yearly volumes.
The first volume arrived a few days ago.
Hey, that's my MangoMinster entry for 2012! That was sure fun!
We started with 2012 and we're going backwards. The next volume has been published and it's on its way and we can't wait to see it! So that's the latest news here!
So until next time...........
Love ya lots,
Mitch
What a wonderful idea. I've wanted to blog to print and have been stymied by the volume of stuff that I have accumulated over the years, but so worth it, right?

That's a lovely way to remember Maggie. You can just pick up the book anytime, and smile at the memories.

That's a lovely way to remember your Angel Maggie.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of Blog to Print, but I'm very interested. Thanks for sharing.
I think Angel Maggie is smiling down and reading her book too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic way to remember our beloved kids!
A forever book! What memories it must have.
ReplyDeleteKeeper printed my own blog but somebody would always take them home! Keeper gave up!

Brilliant idea about the book:)
ReplyDeleteI've too pondered the idea. Nice to know the photo limits.
ReplyDeleteThe "Forever Book" is such a great idea. Mom wants to look into that! Thanks fur the link!
ReplyDeleteA fantastic idea Mitch. Books are always so nice to read snuggled up on the sofa next to Mum.
ReplyDeleteSomething we have considered doing but nothing has come to fruition.... yet.

Love that blog to print! I haven't tried it yet but it's on my list!
ReplyDeleteMy Brides, Ruby and Penny had our Wedding done into an Album fur US.. Blog to Print Rocks.
ReplyDeleteYou will love having the books to go through.
Hi Mitch, that's a great idea and project. A series of books with chronologically organized photos and stories of you and Maggie would be so nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful idea! This way you will not forget all the "little moments" and it is a great recorded history for your family too. xo
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific! What a fabulous gift to yourselves. (((hugs to Maggie, forever)))
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You'll be able to browse those gorgeous photos just whenever you want too. Have a good week! Ros and Oscar
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your book! They are awesome!
ReplyDeleteMom wants to print our blog in annual books, too. She's going to look at that site. Were you pleased with the results?
ReplyDeleteMorgan, Tsar and the Porties

I agree with all the others, it is a good idea!!! Nice to do for them!!!
ReplyDeleteBowWowZer Mitch, that is such an excellent idea. You can read your history even when the power is out now!! Paper books are still the best kind.

Hi Mitch,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I'll bet the book has already made you and your family smile lots looking at your and Maggie's adventures.
Woofs,

We are always meaning to do that! The books will be such a lovely thing for the humans to have to remember all those great times. We see you are enjoying reading it too Mitch!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see your renovations coming along so well, we are so glad you are there to snoopervise at Crumpies Mitch!

ps we love your photo cube in the sidebar - we see you and Maggie spinning round as we type!
We just know that cupola will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteMaking those memory books is such a great idea. The human brother and sisters have gotten our Mom and Dad a few about the grandkids. But we think it is about time to chronicle our blog too. Makes a lot of sense to work backwards. Off to talk to Mom about this.

What a wonderful keepsake. Great idea.
ReplyDeleteWyatt and Stanzie
Sigh. We're playing catch up again – but I'm enjoying reading all your posts that I've missed!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic idea to turn your blog into a book! And actually, having it divided by years is quite good because you can see how things have changed and it's a nice summary of each year. We must remember that link so that we can do the same thing some time!

We love seeing the progress.:) And what a beautiful book of your sweet Maggie.:)
ReplyDeleteLove,

What a wonderful keepsake for your family! Our mama has thought about doing the Blog to Print but is afraid that something might happen and she'll lose all of those pics! It is nice for us to know that you have done it successfully. Maybe now she will try it! xoxo Chloe and LadyBug
ReplyDeleteMitch what an absolutely wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteSo many happy memories captured forever.

I know she lives forever in your hearts but it is really nice to see pictures of our loved ones too. What a good idea.
ReplyDeleteWHOA! What a great idea! And, hey, We loved your Mr. Carrot from Angel Maggie. Made Us cry. Oh me...
ReplyDeleteAroo, Stuart
We totally need to do this, thanks for telling us about it. Thanks for stopping by Joey's blog, I am SURE he and Maggie are having a great time together over the rainbow bridge.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's amazing! Are you happy with the quality? We've been considering doing something similar..

ReplyDeleteWow Mitch!! What a cool idea. Something to treasure for sure.
ReplyDelete{{{huggies}}}}....Mona
That is SUCH a super wonderful book! And I know it holds such Most Dear memories. My mom keeps thinking that she needs to do something like that with our bloggie but then she gets distracted and forgets. She's easily distracted, my mom.
