I am doing a Project 365 (www.rctaylorphotography.blogspot.com). I really want to make a book after I’m finished. I love Blurb Books and am actually in the process of putting my book together. I would love the gift certificate so that I can pay for the book more easily.
I traveled the entire length of the Great Lakes last summer via tall-masted ships, as a photojournalist. I would like to showcase my journey in a Blurb book. To see my ship images: http://stacyn.com/artprize
I would like to make a photobook of the birth and 1st year of my daughter. I am terrible at scrapbooking… but I would love to create something memorable for years to come of the birth and 1st year of my daughter’s, Kendall Joy Sun, life!
Here is a photo of me and Kendall, her 1st day out of the womb!

I would like to do a photo journal to follow the 61 years of marriage of my parents. My Daddy passed away in November 2008, just 7 days prior to their 61st wedding anniversary. My Mother has never really gotten over his death and I would like to do this photo journal of their years together as a gift to her. It would give her something to hold on to and it would put a lot of her memories together in one place so she could look at them often. She basically sits in her recliner all day now, unless we make her get out and she has a picture of him tucked in a little clear pouch that she keeps propped up on the table next to her so she can see him at all times.
Like many others I would make a memento of my childs life, particularly my youngest. At birth he was in NICU with troubles breathing, anemia, jaundice, and born 1 month early. He is now 3 years old but still struggling with communication, his speech is roughly 2 years delayed and comprehension 18 months delayed. He does love picture books though, especially pictures of his brother and himself.

I make photo books for my grandchildren every year for Christmas. It’s a great gift and it shows them throughout the year. It’s pretty neato!
Photo books make awesome gifts to everyone. It also helps my business for senior pictures, events, and much more! I love them!
I would love to do have a book that documents my daughter & her wheelchair tennis pictures. My daughter was born with a birth defect called Spina Bifida. The doctors told us that she wouldn’t walk. She does walk with crutches, but she started playing wheelchair tennis about 3 years ago. I have taken tons of pictures during those 3 years & I would love to have 1 place for her to go & see how much progress she has made!! Watch for her!! She is going to be famous one day!! :0)
I would love to do a book on my travels to Africa on help in the orphanages. Each time I go it is like a small rock in the pond, that small ripple effect. To be able to have it in a book and to share with others to show the need would be the BEST!
Molly and Megan are twins, identical and opposite. As little girls, a tom-boy and a girlie-girl. Now as sophomores in high school, a cheerleader and a ballplayer, they both made the varsity teams. Their proud papa has taken a few, thousand, photos to make picture books for their sweet 16th. http://www.marksettlesphotos.com/Other/02-17-11-CMHS-Girls-Basketball/0021021711/1201392555_6J24C-M.jpg
