I think I just saw book heaven :)<br /><br />I have a thing for good children's literature. I say I'm picking them up for the kids, but everyone knows they're really for me.<br /><br />I'm also a fan of the Little Golden Books and would love to find more on my Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691765466320690473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34764064.post-57364587218781484252006-12-20T07:53:00.000-08:002006-12-20T07:53:00.000-08:00Library closing.

Paint them with gesso - and away we go!<br /><br />Then, my grandson was born, and I could not stop buying more.<br /><br />I also decorate with books.
