I am currently adding my 365 photos to a Picaboo Book each day, at the end of the year I am going to get it printed in 12x12 hard cover, I am hoping to have a 365 book for this year and many years to come.
What do you do with your 365?

@lesip you can have a running project on Blurb. You just have to edit it every 30 days to keep it active, they email you and warn you if it is getting close
This is my first run through a 365 project. I'm looking at putting together a book through Blurb. They offer the best pricing I've seen for a 350+ page book.
I will include every image of my project, good or not. The point of the project to me is to use my camera more, learn new techniques, and improve my photography skills. By including the more "snapshot-like" photos along with my artistic shots, I am revealing my journey as an improving photographer.
Great thread. I've got loads ideas from here. Originally I just thought I'd put each day's pic, no matter how terrible, in a scrapbook type album as a visual diary of my year. Now I'm beginning to wonder whether I can do more ... but in meantime, just keeping everything on hard drive - and a reminder to self to back up!!
@lesip I made my first year into a book on Blurb. Really easy to figure out & use and I was super happy with how it came out. I even made some of my own templates. I did it all at the end of my project and it took a few months working on it on & off. I plan on doing the same at the end of this year, though I also like @carmel 's calendar gift idea!
As I'm going along I print each image at the end of the month and display them in my hall, replacing them when I come to the end of another month. Except for May - I didn't like May much.
I plan to use Blurb as well to create an album for year one. I really need to get busy! Then year two after that. I also thought of photo calendars as gifts.
My Dad has a big birthday on New Years Day so am going to make a photocalendar for him of my best or favourite images from the different months - for example the 1 from January will be January's image in the calendar. Any months I have extra images I will use them for the last 2 months as I was advised to create the calendar after Halloween (31st October). I am also going to have a photomosaic of all the images as the cover.
I made my first year of 365 into a book, doing a week for each page. (At 8.5 x 11 there were several easy layouts I came up with to accommodate different layouts of horizontal and vertical.) I also included some smaller thumbnails or "runners up" at the end, because some days you just have a lot going on! I printed using shutterfly.com . (I had previously printed a book using snapfish.com and was very disappointed, because all of the pages got chopped off slightly around the margins.)
@lesip i'm working on my 5th Blurb book. It's very easy to use. And yes, you can have an ongoing project. I have at least one in the works at any point in time.
