It's My Blogiversary Today!

Three years ago today Proud Italian Cook was born, I can honestly say it has been one of the best things I've ever done, mainly because along this journey into the blogosphere I have met the most incredible people with so much amazing talent that inspires me on a daily basis.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of my dear blog friends, subscribers, readers , family and friends, I appreciate and adore all your comments!

Looking forward to my journey into next year!


To celebrate my blogiversary I'd like to introduce you first to a company called Blog2Print, they provide bloggers with an easy way to turn their blog into a professionally printed book.

A friend of mine first told me about them and she encouraged me to check them out. I started thinking how cool it would be to have my blog in book form, something to hand down to my family, after all our blogs are like a journal into our daily lives whether it be through food, travels or any other passion that we blog about.
Then one day I got an email from Julie at Blog2Print and she asked me if I would like to try out their product, as you can imagine I was very excited.


With Blog2Print you can print all your pictures, posts, and comments if you wish, if you've been blogging for a while you might want to do it in volumes like I did. Depending on how many photos and text you have that's going to determine the pages used in your book. For instance my first volume consisted of 123 pages, plus a dedication page, and 4 table of contents pages. I was able to fit most of my first year of blogging into the book. I didn't add any comments into my book it would have taken up too many pages and added to the cost, but that's entirely up to you.

It's easy to do and you can personalize your book any way you want with their simple instructions.


I think giveaways are more fun when everyone has the chance to participate so for one lucky reader you'll be recieving a coupon code for forty dollars from Blog2Print so all my Canadian and International friends can take part, just be aware that there will be some shipping costs. Shipping within the U.S. is free.


So now you can use that coupon to create your own blog book like mine up above. I wish I can offer one to each and every one of you but unfortunately I can't, but at least I hope I've encouraged you to think about doing this your self. You can test it out for free and see your blog in book form on their site with no obligation at all, go and check it out but once you do you'll be hooked like me. The quality is even better in person!


All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, the winner will be announced on Friday August 20th.
I will be using random generator, if I can figure it out! lol
