However, my albums hang off the edge and it looks sloppy. I've spent hours, days, possibly months of my life working on those scrapbooks, and I wanted them on those shelves whether they fit or not.
Yesterday a friend came over to visit, and said "What's up with your shelves? Is one a different size?" Uh. no. The albums don't fit. She was nice enough to offer a suggestion and I really do like how the album breaks up the shelves of books. But I don't want them all like that.
I sawed the back of one shelf off. Joshua cried because it was too loud. I turned on the TV and suddenly he didn't mind the noise so much.
I was worried about this project because it involved power tools and altering something we purchased a few months ago. I didn't want my husband to veto this idea so I did it while he was at work. And it turned out just right. WHEW!
Now the albums perfectly sit on my shelf.

Amy Jo~ It looks so nice!!! I like your assertiveness...AND confidence in using the jig saw. You are definitely a problem-solver!
:o)
You are like my husband cutting holes in things. I always have to leave the room so I don't freak out. I am very non-committal when it comes to holes in the furniture. Glad you got it worked out, though!
I did vote - by absentee ballot - so easy. It wasn't as meaningful as standing in line maybe? The early voting lines were 2 hours long here so I was glad I got around to requesting the form.
That was a great idea! Those look like Creative Memories albums. I have some of those too. Looks very nice now.
You're right, I would have vetoed that idea!
