MOC11 Jan 7 - Heirloom

This was fun thanks Christa! I'm all about creating my own Heirlooms ... bookish ones obviously
Journaling:
When my parents immigrated to Australia, in 1969, they couldn’t really bring a lot of stuff with them from their homes, certainly not treasured family heirlooms that might get damaged on the trip. Because we were a military family, we moved regularly and each time we always did a cull of our belongings to make things easier to pack. One of the first things to go were often our accumulated books, they were just too heavy to lug around from place to place. So because of all this moving around we didn’t have any heirlooms, we just had each other. When I was older , living in my own place, and had a steady job, one of the first things I bought for myself was a Folio edition copy of The Secret Garden. My plan was to fill the bookshelves to bursting with these gorgeous editions to leave to my family, but, as you can see, life, bills and the cost of raising that family, halted my Folio addiction in it’s tracks many years ago. Still, I’m so happy to have these gorgeous editions to hand down to my girls on my passing, as I know that they will love these bookish heirlooms as much as I do.
Lego, ergo sum - I read therefore I am.
