Wow the moving saga continues. I have been so busy getting ready for Artistic Affair in a 2 weeks and tucking all our things from Santa Fe into the little condo. We unloaded everything from the truck onto the covered patio . Boxes were piled 6 high . Hey, it is mid summer in the desert. I thought it surly will be safe until I can get to everything. Well was I wrong !!! We had a blowing raining thunder storm . Many of my box piles tipped over into giant pools of water and most were boxes of my beloved children's book collection and our cloths .I was out till 1 am dragging soggy items into the house and then spent the next day laying everything in the garage to dry .I now have a "rippled" children's book collection but most did dry out without stains or spine damage!! just rippled pages .

WOW, what a gorgeous collection Julie...rippled pages or not...I am green with envy!! Hope all is well with you!! Missing you on the blog, but take care of yourself!
Oh Julie, that is a shame. I'm sorry. You're dealing with water and we're dealing with a horrendous fire. Send some rain our way - we could sure use it.
I've been missing you! Sorry to hear about the mishap - Murphy's Law holds true again, it seems. Glad there was no worse damage.
Oh Julie, you broke my heart with this one. So sorry about all your lovely books. I hope things go better with the rest of the unpacking.
Oh thats terrible!!
I have heard that if you dampen the pages slightly and use a cloth over each page you can iron out the ripples but thats one hell of a lot of ironing, page by page!!!
sorry I can't be more help sweetie.

ooooh I am so sorry. I hope you will be able to salvage them.
That just stinks...So sorry that happened to you. I am keeping you in my prayers for easier, better days ahead :)
A perfect excuse to keep adding fresh books to your collection.
Much happiness and health in your new home.

Thanks for your sweet words on my blog! I hope you and your husband are doing well now. I know how difficult emotional healing can be. And all your poor books! I would have had a good cry fest in that situation, but I'm glad most of it was ok. Hang in there, Julie!

We haven't had rain most of the summer and you arrive just as the monsoon decides to show up. Hope you are able to get all your wonderful books dried out.
Thank you for stopping by my blog, stop back any time...welcome to Arizona.
Oh Julie I am so sorry. Let them dry out and then stack them with something very very heavy on top. I think they will flatten down :) hopefully!
Oh Julie! what a nightmare! I really am so sorry!
