The Downtown Library

Is today really Friday the 13th? Yikes! I'll just try not to think about it.

I have actually had this layout finished for at least a week or two.
It's based on a Juliana Michaels sketch...
from over at The Paper Bakery.
I used a combination of the August main kit and their Project Life type kit.
Journaling:
The library has always been one of my favorite places to go, and now it is a favorite place for you, too, Erin.
I remember spending so many Saturdays at the local library with my dad. Those are memories I treasure. And I love bringing you and Evan to the library to create our own memories.
We are so lucky to have several great libraries close to us.
Recently, you and I went downtown to the newly remodeled Central Library. It is a gorgeous building. And they did such a great job of maintaining the older part of the building while adding on a fresh modern section.
It is such a great mix of old and new.
I could get lost in there for hours!
And on this particular Saturday, we did, Erin.
Your favorite place to hang out is the Children's section with it's bright colorful decorations, play areas, computers, and comfortable places to relax and read books.
I have to admit that I loved it as well!
I don't think I could ever get tired of visiting our libraries.

Thanks for stopping by today.
Have a great weekend!

  15. Great page! Love the white border around the 3 pics, as it helps to unify them.

    I could get lost in libraries and bookstores. Wish my kids had the same love of books. :(
