I stole a book.
Specifically, a Girl Scout handbook.
I’m pretty sure there’s a whole page inside dedicated to not stealing or something along those lines. I was a Girl Scout once. I remember the rules.
But I’m a lover of old books and this one needed to be in my collection.
I sponsor a club at my school and we held a book drive before Christmas break. We collected about 500 books to donate to a local battered women and children’s shelter. And someone happened to donate this vintage Girl Scout handbook.
I reasoned no one was going to want that book. So I took three books of my own and swapped it for the handbook. Sort of like stealing, but with a conscience.
Well, it made me feel better.
The pages inside are wonderful. And I’m imagining all the projects I could do with this book and less about the way I aquired it.
This book is beautiful…and so is denial.
Just joined your GFC..I hope you can stop by my blog and join my network too..(but preferably not GFC because we are taking it down soon)…I really like your blog btw 🙂
Oh my goodness…I would have an anxiety attack running a book drive and would probably end up doing something similar.
I really had to fight the urge to keep all 500 books for myself. But I don’t have room on my classroom shelves and my husband would kill me if I brought them all home. But it was hard! 🙂
