I have 4 shelves worth and several that don't fit on the shelves. I am moving all my cake books to the office shelves (where I have all my decorating supplies) and then will be able to put the rest of the books in there. I have 5 books on my birthday wish list and will most likely get them.
Okay, that's books. I have a very large cardboard box that has loose recipes that I haven't yet gotten into my computer program (Oh, which also holds probably 2,000 recipes (not from their files but of my own - many are my cake and culinary recipes I have created or adapted). And there is my school binder and notebooks.
My book shelf has eight shelves but I can't fit more books on because the top four shelves contain my angel collection. When the cleaning ladies come they have in their records this unit is NOT to be touched. I do it myself!
I use the books probably more for reference than for actual recipes, but they do contain some of my favourites.
Hubby and Dad are very watchful of me when I head to book stores!
