You could make one in iPhoto on a Mac (I've done this and the quality is beautiful), or on Blurb.com, or RedBubble.com (not sure about RedBubble - I know you can make calendars, not sure about books).

I find if you take a deep breath in then hold it, then shoot helps a lot and grip the phone in both hands. If you can get down on the ground and shoot with your elbows on your knees. Brace your self tight, get the focus, deep breath, finger over the screen, check focus and tap very gently. I rarely get it right first take so take 3 or 4 repeating the steps above.
I only do my macros late afternoon the light is perfect and it's one less thing to have to think about and if it's windy, forget it LOL

Thank you Cat! He was a cheeky bugger! I have video (not great it was windy) of him too and he was such a character.. in one video he sizes up the phone and jumps up onto the side of my macro lens then wanders around my phone LOL!!

I love that he is the same colours as the flower!! Greens and pinks!!
 
As I said not great...but when he disappears...he's on my phone LOL
Gives you a great idea of his size too..he is on a standard size clover leaf there...
