Books.


Shayne's really classy one:
When Cat chose the theme 'Books' (taken from last weeks photo of our rings/Bible) I had a picture in my head (you know those!) and i love how this turned out.  Remember the Reader's Digest Condensed Books - well we have a ton of them and i thought they would be perfect for this picture. And it worked well - i think.  The age of the books is apparent from the colour and it just blends so well with the colour of the piano and the blue of the spines.  Just to tell you all - Cat and I have made a decision to use 'un-altered' photos for our TUT.  It is so easy to manipulate a photo to the way you would like it to look, but not always so easy to take that pic

My , completely the opposite:
For more team - ups, go visit Corey's to see who else are participating.

  3. Oh what a wonderful, but seemingly equally loved, contrast!

    Those oft-read board books warm my heart.

    Have a great one, Cat!

  7. I love books! I love photos of books! I must admit, Cat, your shot is more where my life is at at the moment but I love the tones of Shaynes and I kinda wish I got to read more grown-ups books :-)

  8. Love your pic Cat, because I can soooo relate! It also has some artsy feel to it, which I love! "Artsy" is probably not a very appropriate term to use, but I hope you know what I mean!! LOL.

  9. I have many stacks of the wee books like you all around! I love that my kids love books as much as I do! I hope it continues as they grow!

  10. I think a well worn book is the sign of how much it was loved and treasured. I bet each of your children have begged you to read one or more of those stories 100 times. Am I right?
