Fun Monday.......

Swampwitch at Anecdotes, Antidotes, & Anodes is hosting this week.....

Fun Monday's challenge for June 25 is to post pictures of your bookshelves or stacks of books. Hopefully, we will be able to read some of the titles. If you want, while you're at it, post pictures of ANY shelves...shelves with toys, dishes, collections, Aunt Gertrude's ashes in an urn, etc. Also, post pictures of your garage, carport, or places where you store 'stuff.' (No fair cleaning first, but if you must, maybe this will be the motivation to do so.)

First off I have to admit.....we don't really have bookshelves. Except in the boys room right now and it has everything but books in it right now..... We do have books but mostly they are Kellys and they are in boxes or he borrows books from my brother, well he used to before he moved up to Alaska ahead of us. The kids have tons of books hence the reason the boys have a book shelf in their bedroom but the books right now all reside in boxes....cause we are moving. That and we only moved here about a year ago and the kids books never really made it out of the boxes then either...

Okay so now that that is over. I do have things to put on bookshelves if I had them. First would be mine and the girls Ashton Drake dolls

For now they sit on the mantle of our fireplace that we can't use (the landlords won't let us). I really want to get a good shelf or something to put them up nicely...maybe something with glass around them because they get dusty this time of year.

Also we have a complete set of dishes given to us when Kelly's Grandmother died a year and a half ago that unfortunatly sit in the cupboard unused. I don't want to use them really because they will get broken and again I don't really have anywear to display them..........

I have many other things I have collected over the years including a rather large collection of precioius moments that I have collected since I was in middle school that have been displayed in past houses but I haven't gotten them out here. I think some of the issue with this house is even though we have been here almost a year and a half we moved in knowing we were going to move in a year or so to Alaska and we didn't ever totally unpack so I have a lot of things still in boxes.

Okay and for the last one was the request to see our garages, atticks, etc.....and we couldn't clean them first. There wasn't much concern on me getting to that in a week, I have way to much other stuff to clean right now! Anyway I am only giving you a glimpse because it is not clean by any means!

I know it looks like a lot of gas cans but htey are empty, I promise. Kelly uses them when he goes camping because he goes way out in the woods and doesn't want to end up without gas. They are all in front right now because he was going to take them with him but forgot.....
Then there is Madisons scooter, a car seat booster that we haven't used in years (why do we still have it?) and blue and red bins that are supposed to contain the kids toys that are all over their bedrooms right now.
