The Book Lamp - gifts made with love

 My eldest daughter, Hannah (10), is a lover of reading and all things having to do with books, so this year for Christmas I decided to make her a lamp from books;-)
I started with a trip to the thrift store...$2.00 for a lamp

and $1.00 for a few books, mostly on cooking as she is very interested in cooking and wants to start her own restaurant someday.

I drilled a hole through the books to fit the lamp parts and threaded the books onto the center of the lamp.

After that, I put the lamp back together and I had a customized lamp for my young reader that cost me only $3.00 and some time;-)

The pictures don't do it justice, but I was having a problem with lighting...
