Day #3 of $500 Gift A Day Giveaway: 10 Blurb Photo Books! (CLOSED)
Dec 12, 2012
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas, it’s Mike’s Bloggity Blog’s $500 Gift A Day Giveaway! Every day this week, I’ll have an AMAZING gift up for grabs! Each of these gifts is valued at more than $500. For those of you who hate surprises, check out my Facebook page every day for a preview of tomorrow’s gift! Tell your friends and family to play along and five lucky readers will definitely have a very Merry Christmas!

We’re halfway through the week of give aways and I think it’s time to spread the love even more. Today, TEN readers have a chance to win a Blurb gift certificate, worth $50 each!
There was a time, right after digital cameras really took off, when people didn’t really know what to do with their photos. Printing them off all of a sudden felt archaic, but you still wanted to be able to capture and relieve all your memories. This is where beautiful photo books like Blurb come in.
Blurb allows you to take all of your photos and organize them into any kind of book that you want. Whether it’s for friends and family to give at Christmas, or a book capturing all your favourite memories from your trip to the mountains or the lake, you’ll be able to use your Blurb gift to make a gift that will literally last a lifetime.
Fans of Instagram, make sure you check out their Instagram books too, don’t just let those photos sit on your phone. Print them and show them off to all your hipster friends!

I captured a moment at a cottage this summer, where my husband is throwing my son up into the air while they’re in the lake. The sun is setting behind them, and my son looks like he’s flying. I adore the shot.

For some reason girls always take pics in bathroom, so my book would be of all of those random shot from over the years of me and my friends in bathrooms across the globe. Like this one:

I would make a book of my first trip to Ireland! As a student I haven’t had the time to print the pictures so I would LOVE to put them into a blurb book! I’ll even promise to put a dedication page to the wonderful Mike in the front of my book if I win

I would include my favorite family picture

My sis has been sending me random family photos from cousins over the past year. I’d probably put them all together in one book so at the next family reunion we’d know who’s whom.

I quit my 9-5 and chased my dream of travel photography. I spent over 3 months practicing my passion and never looked back. There’s a photo I am very proud of, which is taken at the Glacier lagoon in Iceland called Joksursarlon. The sunrise created colors in the sky I’ve never seen in my life.
Hope all is well, Mike! xo
Thanks for your inspirational words before Coldplay rocked the Calgarian stage. -
One of my favorite photos of all time is one I took of Calgary at night last December from the top of Nose Hill. There are the sparkling lights of the city and the snow. It reminds me what I love about this place.
-
In the process of creating a 2012 year in review book on blurb now, I’m including pics from my wedding, my beautiful wife, family, friends, and trips we have taken!

My wife foolishly committed herself to producing a beautiful photo book of our daughters every Christmas for grandparents and extended family. A year in the life of the girls. It’s an amazing gift that she creates every year – and expensive! This would be an awesome prize for her to win.
-
My daughter playing in a field of daisies – reminds me of the simple yet beautiful things in life.
-
There is one photograph I will always carry close to my heart. It is of the day just two years ago where my wife and I first held our little “fur” babies. A couple of maltese poodles pups who we’ve welcomed to our home and became a family!
Good luck everyone and happy holidays!
