Obicham te!
Obicham te is Bulgarian for “I love you.” I keep a running list of ways to say “I love you” and it is over a hundred languages long. I learned “Obicham te” when I lived in the Chicagoland area. I worked in a rehab facility and one of our techs was an immigrant from Bulgaria. He carried an English/Bulgarian dictionary with him EVERYwhere. Back in Bulgaria, he was a physician, but his limited vocabulary would not allow him to take licensing exams here in the states. So, he worked as a tech and studied every free moment he had. He also taught me the phrase, “Obicham te.”
I am a firm believer in telling the people you care about how you feel. I don’t hang up with family without saying “I love you.” Even when I am angry.
Which is one of the reasons why I really LOVE the site I am about to share with you. Here’s how it works…
LoveBooks are books that you create for someone you love and it is COMPLETELY customizable.
You can create a book for your child…
Your sister…
Your parents…
or anyone else on your list.
They even have holiday covers available!
You can choose a hardcover or soft cover for your book. There is a twenty page minimum, but NO page maximum for the books.
You can use their premade pages as a starting point, or use a blank page and add to it. Here’s a page for my son…
and one for my daughter…
What a neat and fun way to say “I love you!”

Visited the site and Oh, my goodness – I LOVE this!
I would actually like to make several — one for my husband and for each of my children.
My husband b/c I usually write him poetry and this would be a good way to give him a new poem.
And, my children love being read to — they’d get a kick out of a book that was JUST for them.
I follow your blog on Facebook (Rachel H. L.)
This site is great… I am going to create a book for my husband, we celebrate our four year dating anniversary on 12/08.
