The Books.......

I didn’t exactly jump out of bed this morning, but I did manage to roll out and could still walk, LOL.  Today I decided no outside work, I was going to quilt the Storybook quilt but instead I went into the basement and started to dust, sort, and purge the book shelves. I have two book shelves in the basement, and books here and there all around the house, I don’t think there is a room that doesn’t have at least one book, including the bathroom!  Don't ask why I chose to do that today when I have so many other unfinished projects, I guess I was in the mood to finally get that done.  I want to move some of the upstairs books downstairs but there wasn't room and the shelves were dusty and falling down, no I didn't get a before photo :(  Here is the finished product, you really need to see a before to appreciate the after but I don't always think with the mindset that what I am doing might be something to post about. 

There are books here.....

and here....

and in many corners and several closets.  Consider yourself family 'cause you can see that I didn't dust before I took these pictures!  Some are from friends and family that I may read, and some I will pass on without reading.  Most of the books that I own are from Goodwill, Books Revisited (this store supports the local Hospice), and Village Books & Things (they sell used books and give credit for books you bring in).  I always like to have a selection because I never know what type of book I am in the mood to read, sometimes I start a book and just can't get into it so I pick another one! 

Very soon I need to scan my posts and see what things I have left undone or that I said I would update, etc. Things like taking photos of my pottery collection, finishing the garage, and many others.  Some haven't been completed yet like the garage, I need to do a deep cleaning in some areas before I take photos of the pottery, you get the idea.  My blog certainly represents who I am, a little scattered in some areas and a little more put together in others, oh well nobody's perfect.

Hopefully after supper I will be in the mood to work on the Storybook, if not there is always tomorrow.  Gotta go cook the pasta for suppa!
