The holidays are rapidly approaching, and I wanted the media center to feel a little more festive. Last weekend we attended the Festival of Trees in Timonium (highly recommend, BTW! So many craft vendors and amazingly decorated trees - all proceeds benefit the Kennedy Kriegar Institute) and I was inspired... there was a tree called "A Novel Idea": I knew I couldn't pull that off as it was way too much for my missing spatial reasoning skills to try to balance all those books and make sure the spines were the right size. So I compromised by using some old Almanacs that no one has checked out yet this year. Some lights, a little tinsel from the dollar store, and a paper star taped to a ruler... TA DA! Yes, it's a tiny little short tree of books, looking a bit like what Charlie Brown would have created if he had made a book tree... but it's here and the kids love it.
Here's a giggle for you to get through the next few weeks. Happy Holidays!
