Happy Birthday to Me!!

I have a monumental birthday coming up, the one with a 4 in it... At one point I mentioned that for my birthday I would like some bookshelves built into our basement (we have a friend who is a master at this). So after some measuring and discussing our friend built them over spring break. He and Scott just got done installing them this weekend, take a look:
And here they are with stuff on them:

    Oh, wow! I want some, I want some!! Those are absolutely AWESOME, Jana. Really, really awesome. LOVE! And btw, they totally look like they belong to a librarian, the way you organized the books! LOL. :-)

    Have you read Savannah Grey?

    Oooooooh! I am so jealous. They look great! My husband does not enjoy projects like that at all, so I don't see this happening in my future.

    Gwendolyn: Thanks! I am so in love with them!

    Shannon:Thanks!
    No, I haven't read it, but I have a copy I can DL from NetGalley.
    I saw your glowing review so I am going to get it soon!!


    Tina:My husband doesn't normally either but he feels really good when he actually does some home improvement stuff. However, if he hadn't had so much fun working with our friend who built them the experience wouldn't have been as good!
