The Three Muses - Books

Reading books was my favorite childhood pastime and until I started blogging it continued to be a favorite activity. I have gotten rather lazy in the reading department, unfortunately. Some day children will probably be as fascinated by the old way of reading (books) as we are by the old way of reading (scrolls).

The theme for the Three Muses Challenge this week is Books. I borrowed this book plate from some Dover Publications clip art. The books were googled. The little girl is a stamp of mine from Stubby Stampers.

    We must have been online at the same time, Faye!
    Brilliant idea creating a bookplate for the challenge, looks so effective especially with the 'snow! fall!'
    Happy & healthy 2011!

    Like you, Faye, I used to be a prolific reader but age and, yes, perhaps laziness has overtaken me somewhat. I like to blame my night vision as that is when I would have time to read but I have problems reading in artificial light.
    Your artpiece is exquisite in every way. Absolutely beautiful.
    Thanks so much for taking the time in a busy holiday period to participate in the challenge. It is much appreciated.
    May I wish you and yours a happy New Year, Faye.
