them!\u00a0 Don&#8217;t we all wish we had these?!\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t do much inside the shelves, but I did tackle the top!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter

12 by 12 papers.\u00a0 She had this stash and then some more spread out in a different room.\u00a0 Also, do you see the shoebox to the left?\u00a0 There was also one on the right of the
