Reading Opens a World that is Yours to Discover!

So, I did this really cool page (at least I think so...) tonight to document Annde's love of reading. While Steve enjoys reading, it is no where close to my passion for it. The love of the written word has been handed down from generation to generation in my family... a love for anything literary. I personally adore digging into a new book, cracking the spine for the first time, and immersing myself in a world where I am only an observer to the reality of the characters. Annde seems to have developed the same love for reading. It's more of a punishment to take away books than just about anything else! About a year ago, I was sneaking around, playing covert photographer, and caught her on several occasions, reading to her dolls the way that Steve and I read to her at bedtime. It was too cute a scene to pass up! I've had the pictures for a while but haven't found the write way to scrap it. (My original thought was to create a book and write it like the writing in the book but I dropped the idea as too corny!) Tonight, I was inspired! I just received the December Jangle kit from Coordinates Collections and viola! I love the letters paper from KI Memories... Sorry that the page is hard to read. I printed on transparency which doesn't photo well at midnight... ahahahaha The journaling talks about how my mother passed the love of reading onto me and I passed it onto Annde. I will try to take a picture during the daylight today and update the page.
