My final submission for VSBN was actually the first challenge posted; I love it when I'm backwards! This is for the challenge to scrap a passion. I love to read, so I created a page about the library in our new house. The journaling reads:
When we first viewed our new house, I was so excited by the built-in hardwood bookcases in the living room. After years of sticking my books where ever they fit in the house, I finally have a place to store my library. I love to sneak in here for a bit of quiet time, reading and dreaming of other worlds. To other people they may just be books, but to me, they are my treasures!
I finished the page and realized I hadn't added a picture of myself reading, so I don't get any bonus points, but I did branch out and try a digi-page, so hopefully I get some credit for that!

Wow! What a fabulous library! I love books too but am a recycle book person. I should show my brother these photos...it seems like he has more books than the Library of Congress! :-) Not sure if this is your first digi page but it's a great one!!!

*totally jealous of your library* I've told my husband that when he gets out of the military and we stay in one place longer than 3 years, he has to build me a wall of bookshelves. Awesome page!!
