Welcome everyone! It Friday's Fave Five time again. I'm really looking forward to reading all your favorites. If you're new and want to know what it's about and what to do you can just jump over here and then join right in!

1. Scoring Great Deals on Books. We all know my love of books but my oldest also loves to read. As a kid she read the kid's version of the Left Behind Series and really enjoyed it, so I started to collect the adult version for her. But I haven't been buying them at the book stores, I've made my purchases at the library. Last week I picked up two more towards the set:

Notice how they look brand new! And hardcover to boot. Now take a look at the price on the back of them had I have purchased them in the book store.

Now look at the price I paid for them in the little used book purchase corner of my library.

So far I have half the set for her and I've paid a total of $18. And the books are all in great to excellent condition. The only thing is I have to keep going back and checking the shelves. I keep a running list in my purse of which ones I already have and check everytime I'm in the library. Good thing it's a place I love to go anyway. And hey for that kind of price, I'm even known to go a little out of my way!

2. Allrecipes.com daily dish. One of the recipe sites that I use the most often. After a couple years I finally registered with them to take advantage of storing my favorite recipes on their server rather than use up my harddrive storing all of them. And now I'm wondering what on earth took me so long to do this. I check marked the little box for them to send me a recipe page a day and I'm totally loving this litte feature. In my email each moring comes a page linking to about 4 different recipes from the sight, all with high ratings, usually following a theme. I don't even have to search if I don't want to for what to put on my menu plan if I'm making one or what's for supper that night. Love this feature.

3. This awesome webpage. I absolutely love this. Follow the instructions they give. How incredible and creative this is. Thanks to Angela Hunt's A Life in Pages for linking to this.

4. Looking back through photo albums of my kids when they were smaller. What a pleasant way to spend an hour or two. I've always loved every stage of their growth but have always wished I could be granted just one day a year where I could re-live them from when they were little. Just to keep it fresh in mind. Photos are the next best thing.

5. Birds singing. I've so been looking forward to hearing the birds singing through out the day and it's finally starting to happen. Their sweet voices can be heard throughout the day coming from my neighbors big pine trees. I'm sure there's got to be a couple nests in there somewhere. But when they start their song it just lifts my heart.
