So whether you print it out as 8 x8 or 12 x 12, I think it is worth it to do the entire year. Personally I think one thick book would look awesome. But if two separate books are more economical than go for it. I wasn't bored by the repeated theme at all. It puts more focus on the pictures and words. I also loved the numbering! Great job! I'm sure the final product will be stunning!

Thanks for the input! One book would actually be cheaper, the problem is most printers don't print books that are more than 100 pages. Well, I think some might do oblong sizes in bigger books, but Shutterfly is the highest quality for the price, and their limit is 100 pages. That's why they have to be split. I'd love to do a 100-page book, but that would mean eliminating 5 pages, and I think that would be more annoying to me than two books! Aww, I'll just suck it up and stay where I am. I'll have the money by the end of 2009 anyway, when they are ready to print.
But I have started proofreading and flattening my pages, I can't wait until I'm ready to print to read all that journaling! I might hire a freelancer proofer by the time I'm done.
