My Christmas Gift To You

My Christmas gift to you are Vintage bookplates that you can download and glue in your kids books or your own books for that matter.

Reading is a wonderful past time and my love of reading came from my Mom, who always took the time to sit down and read me a story.
Of course, we started with picture books.  However, I was very young when she started reading “the classics.”  I was about 5 years old when she read novels  like Oliver Twist and A Christmas Carol to me.   A weekly trip to the library was common.

By the time I was a Junior in High School, I had read, Gone With The Wind (at least 5 times… it was a favorite,) Les Miserables, Tom Sawyer, Jane Eyre and many other adult classics.

Some of my other favorite books, just to name a few,  are Atlas Shrugged, Fountainhead, John Adams, Cold Mountain and the Mitford series.  I could go on and on… but the point is… besides books, my mom passed on a life time gift… the love of reading.   Thanks Mom.

I have a “Grandma Library” at my house.  It consists of many wonderful books ranging from pictures to old children’s classics.  They are books that my grandchildren and I read together.  One of their favorite books is To Market To Market by Anne Miranda and Janet Stevens.  When I say, “What do you want to read?” it seems to be on top of the stack.

So…. with Christmas gift giving in mind, give your kids and grand kids books and pass on a life time gift… the love of reading.   Here is a page of Vintage bookplates your can download and glue them into your kids books or your own books.   My gift to you.

Your Vintage Bookplates

Have a good day… and Merry Christmas To You.

Till later,

P.S.  My mom pasted on the love of reading to my sisters also.  My sis, Sheila, would hide in the closet with a flashlight and read all night…. and sleep all day in school.  Now… that’s a love of reading.
