Week: 14: Check It Out! I wrote a biography

     March was a rough month for me, so I took a break from writing for the 52 Ancestors challenge. But I'm starting back up now with this week's prompt "Check It Out!" It seemed perfect for the announcement I had to make. You see, I've been laid up with a pinched nerve in my back for a month now. So in order to keep myself from going crazy, I worked on editing a biography I wrote about my 2nd Great Grandma, Pauline Ilg.

Cover of my Biography

    Shutterfly was running a special on their site last week. So I went to work on editing the book on their site. I've gotten books from their before and have loved the quality. I know I could have went with an actual book publishing site, but I decided on Shutterfly. And they did not disappoint.

    I wrote this biography in a series of five blog posts back in 2020. I shared them leading up to the anniversary of the death of Pauline. Below are all five blog posts that I turned into five chapters for the bioraphy.

    I am so proud of this book. It looks amazing. The quality is just beautiful. As you can see, I ordered two copies to have on hand. When Shutterfly runs another special, I will order more copies for family members.

    I do hope to write more biographies of other family members and turn them into books. Who will I write about next? You will just have to wait and Check It Out later!
