Well I got all the files over to Lloyd (the Along Came Sampson website designer.) He said he can work on it some today and also during the week; he will be putting the book up. In the meantime, here is the second page of the book. If you click on the picture it gets larger so it is easier to read.

The book is designed as Sampson’s scrapbook of the first year of his life. This is how I choose to showcase the pictures and design the book, however an agent or publisher may have other ideas.
I was toying with the idea of self-publishing but I just found a website that says, “DON’T”. So as soon as I’m finished with this blog I am off to do some more research.
I am going to be making some postcards up, it will be a picture of Sampson with his website address on it. If you are interesting it getting some postcards and passing them out (or sending them to some friends) leave me a comment and let me know. I will figure out how to get them to you!
So I took the dogs for a 45 minute hike in the park at the end of the street. I really wish I could express to you how beautiful it is right now, with three feet of snow on the ground and all the quiet that comes with it. There are the two dogs leading the way and they look so beautiful together. Honestly Sampson and Delilah compliment each other in almost every possible way, evenly matched in height he has the bulky build of male, while she has the slimmer female build. He is fair in coloring (peanut butter I like to call it) while she is chocolate-brown (see I told you, what’s a better combination than peanut butter and chocolate?) He is patient and calm, while she is inpatient and exuberant. Sampson will stand calmly ahead on the trail, while Delilah will run back to me to reassure herself that I am there. When she is running towards me, it almost takes my breath away because she is so beautiful with her dark coloring against the snow. I am going to try and remember my camera next time so I can share this with you.
That’s it for today. XOXO
I’d be glad to share your postcards, Jodi, just leave some with Nantz or mail them with the business cards. Or wait till we go to the movies, although with this crappy weather who knows when that will be, I don’t drive in snow/ice anymore!
