This post is about one of those events. Recently, our library held a giant book-sale to clear off their shelves for new books. L.S. loves the bi-annual book-sales because there are literally thousands of books, all for $2 or under (book heaven!!!). I (Andie) bought a substantial amount of books and music to add to my library. Then, L.S. decided to have a spur-of-the-moment book photo shoot. So, enjoy the pics!
Here's my personal library:
As you can see, I'm having to expand past the boundaries of my shelves. This was how it looked before I added all the books I bought! Which are as follows:
This is the full amount of what I purchased. :)
All the CDs I bought. These were originally priced at 50 cents, but near the end of the three-day sale, they lowered the price to a quarter for each. Score!
Summer posing with some books. Recently, I've been reading several of L.M. Montgomery's works, so I picked up as many of her stories as I could. Some are shown in this pic.
Some of the older works I bought.
I like some of Tennyson's poems, especially "The Charge of the Light Brigade." Do you have a favorite poet?

I also purchased a vintage book of Shakespeare's Complete Works. It even came with some beautiful illustrations like the one above.
Summer's henna design was so pretty that I couldn't resist adding it to the shoot somehow. :)
Having fun with books...
Now, believe it or not, Deena is very difficult to get to smile in front of the camera. So, I came up with a master plan. I threw Goldfish at her and told her to try to catch them in her mouth. She laughed every time she missed (which was a lot!). Bingo! Try it with your kids! ;)
One last pic...
Goldfish seemed to work with Lacey's dog as well. We gave her one as a treat for staying still for the picture. :)
Well, we hope that you like the pictures! Please give us feedback! We'd love to hear from you. Did you enjoy the pics? Any special photo shoot requests? By the way, tomorrow is Independence Day! Are you doing anything special? Does your family have any traditions that you enjoy? Anyways, God bless! Have a great day tomorrow! :)
