I have written numerous blogs about books. Ones I've read and ones I'd like to read. A necessity when reading books, when I'm not reading on my Kindle, is the need for a book mark. My favorite bookmarks are ones that are handmade. Every time I look at them, I think of the person who made it and gave it to me. It's like they're with me wherever my book and I go!
Here are two of my favorite ones. This one was tucked in a handmade book bag someone made for me. It's a photograph attached to a piece of colored card stock. Somedays I long to be IN the picture - especially on nights like tonight when we're expecting 12" of snow!
This one was made by my daughter a few years ago. Her grandma helped her make it and then she tucked it into a Mother's Day card for me. My daughter colored circles on a piece of white notebook paper and then cut it into a rectangle with decorative scissors. They glued it to a piece of white card stock cut with decorative scissors and then glued that to a piece of pink card stock also cut with the decorative scissors.
Add a bit of ribbon and it was finished. Love them both and right now, they are each in a book I am currently reading.....yes, I have multiple books going at the same time! My daughter is with me at bedtime and my friend is with me on the train to work!
