Here are the winners and their plans for their Blurb Books. What will you create?

• Carey said, "My plan is to write a story to my 2 year old about the importance of her environment.  I’ll be using photos that have been taken by her family members so she will recognize the subject matter.  I want to make the conservation effort applicable to her "little" world and help her understand her role."
• Laura said, "My mother has wanted to write a children’s book for years.  She has the text completed and my husband is illustrating it.  I’d love to present it to her in a finished format."
• Jennifer said, "My book will be a customized ABCs book for my 3 year old daughter with pictures of all her favorite things to help her learn hers ABCs. B is for Ballet, I is for Ice Cream, P is for Princess, etc."
• Amber said, "I have been checking out their site for a few weeks but do not have the $$ to put towards this right now.  I just splurged on clothes for my daughter!  Anyways, my book would be “Life with Emma*Cakes” just like my blog.  It would be awesome to have a book detailing our everyday moments and pictures!"
• Christina said, "My book would definitely be a cookbook.  I’d put all of my family recipes in it."
• Allison said, "My husband and I got married 18 months ago. We still don’t have a wedding album because we had made one through Kodak. I spent an ENTIRE weekend putting the photos together in the layout that I wanted and we spent about 600 dollars on our book and books for our
  parents and grandparents. When they finally shipped them to us, they were total crap. The quality was so horrible and the experience was so bad that I haven’t tried to go through the process again. I figure that if you guys are recommending this product, maybe it would be worth it! I’d love to finally have a wedding album."
• Carla said, "A cultural family history- It’s something I’ve been scheming in my head for sometime now and can’t wait to get done!  I want to put together something goes back to her great-great-grandparents (or as far back as we can go) and show her where each was born.  This way she’ll be able to always know where she came from."
• Enix said, "My book will be a compilation of photos and text about my daughter’s journey through Autism."
• Maria Angelica said, "My book will be: a collection of memories of my baby’s first year with his family.  He has brought so much joy to so many people, that it should be published.  He is our first born, the first grand child and great grandchild to both our families.  We have taken such beautiful pictures of him!! and I think a book that contains them is a great idea, he will appreciate it when he’s older. "
• And Kathleen, who gets the prize for most unusual book topic, said, "My book would be a photo book of public bathrooms from around the world."
