Bookish Valentine's Day surprise from a friend.

In lieu of #BookMail, a bookmark. Handpainted and lettered by my friend.

Such a nice gift. I'll have to find it a nice home. Book, I mean book. 😬😁

So I decided to try and make some bookmarks today using some of my scrapbook paper scraps... you know, the left over paper that you don't really want to throw away, but you're not sure what you're going to use it for. This is the end result.

I'm wishing I let my laminator warm up a bit longer. Oh well. 🤷‍♀️

Tamra Adorable! 4y

aperfectmjk @TheSpineView thank you! And laminators aren't too expensive. They're nice to have, but I don't use it as often as I thought I would. 4y

I ordered these bookmarks after @Megabooks posted about this Etsy shop last week. I already got them! And they are so adorable. I couldn't resist the pin either. The couch potatoes bookmark will be a Christmas present for a friend.

Megabooks Fantastic!! I love this shop, and I‘m glad you‘ve had a good experience too. I have the couch potatoes. 😊😊 4y

How do you store your bookmarks? I know we all have a lot of bookmarks. Different shapes and sizes. Do you keep them in a drawer, a box, or a folder? Do you have them organized by theme?

Hazel2019 They are all lost in their own respective favorite books 😁 hence I always need more! How do you store yours? 4y
AmyG I have 2 nesting tables that are books. The lids lift and I put bookmarks in the smaller one. And you? (edited) 4y
Pageturner1 @hazel2019 I have them in a pile on a desk or they are in a book. I am trying to get a way to organize my bookish items. 4y

Yay! I ordered these last month from LiteraryEmporium, an Etsy shop in England and they arrived today. They're thick & double-sided. I'm so excited to put them to use!

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @mariaku21 They ARE gorgeous! Like I mentioned they are a nice quality, thick, double-sided, and both came to me for about $8 including shipping. I would buy from the shop again. 5y

Second time is a charm, @Amiable ! Thank you SO much - I love them! Little Women is my all-time favorite novel, so tears came to my eyes when I saw the LMA quote. And I adore the one with the CT lighthouses! Thank you for adding a few hometown touches for me.

(Side note - Your return address label indicates a link to Boston U? Northeastern & BU are my HS senior daughter's top two choices. ☺)

#BookmarkSwap - Opening Day: I think that I slept all of two hours last night. I was possessed by a child‘s excited anticipation of a gift starting an hour before midnight. I am very thankful, Ms. Ammy. I love the cross-stitched reading glasses and the wooden bookmark, but my favorite is the bookmark from your local indie bookstore, because of your personal note on the backside. Thank you. I will remember this kindness always!💕

Nute This was so much fun! Thank you @LibrarianRyan for hosting an enjoyable swap!🤗 5y

Does anyone else make themselves a test bookmark before making them for their swap matches? No? Just me? Gatsby is unimpressed by this year‘s crafting attempt. My centering isn‘t awesome. 🤷🏻‍♀️ @LibrarianRyan I sent off my bookmarks today.

LibrarianRyan Yeah, and it's Gorgeous And I always try to make one for myself, but I don't always have enough to keep one. 5y

#BookmarkSwap: This is to be my first participation in a Litsy Swap and I couldn‘t be more excited. I tried a Pen-pal exchange of letters last year, but I received a letter only one time from my assigned correspondent so I was reluctant to try connecting closely in any way again. BUT I love bookmarks so here goes everything! I‘m signed up and all in!!! This might be the start of something.😀

Thank you @LibrarianRyan for hosting a fun event.💕

hermyknee @LibrarianRyan is an incredible host - I am sure you will have a good experience this time!!! 💕 5y
LibrarianRyan @hermyknee ahh. Thanks. And @nite she is right. This is a fun and easy swap. With no more commitment afterward. So you don‘t have to feel like your missing out. 5y
StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Aww I'm sorry you had a bad pen pal experience. Swaps are fun, and addictive. I hope you get an amazing match this time around. 😊 5y

Nute @hermyknee @LibrarianRyan @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Thank you for the well-wishes. I was reluctant to participate in anything like this again, but letting one hurtful incident in a situation like this influence a permanent action and rule out that there are thousands of folks on Litsy who would do the right thing that should allow hope to spring eternal. So I am excited to see what happens!😊 5y
LibrarianRyan @Nute Matches are coming soon. I should finally have them all made this afternoon. I hope. 5y

Do you like collecting things when you visit a new place on vacation? My husband and I started a tradition of getting magnets, and I usually buy a book or two, but when I saw this gorgeous fabric bookmark in Ireland, I just had to have it. Maybe I‘ll start collecting bookmarks from around the world, too! 😄

wanderinglynn I collect magnets too! 👍🏻 6y

I got this card last Christmas and thought it was too cute to get rid of. I‘ve been using it as a bookmark, but as I have a habit of losing bookmarks when they fall out of my book in my bag, I decided to make it more secure by attaching some self-adhesive magnetic strips to it 😊

A quick, fun project this morning! I was going to toss / recycle a stack of greeting cards from this past year. As I was reading them one last time I realized some would make beautiful bookmarks ☺️ Here are a few...I am keeping the top three because I love the prints & because 2 were from special friends who sent thoughtful notes & one of those friends has passed away. I'll think of our friendship and her bravery and faith every time I use it ❤️

TheHeartlandBookFairy I'll stamp the remaining bookmarks with my little free library stamp and share them in the libraries 😁 6y
That-Bookish-Hiker That‘s a really great idea! 6y
TheHeartlandBookFairy @That-Bookish-Hiker , thanks! 6y
Princess-Kingofkings I want to hear more about your little free library stamp.... Those are gorgeous and a great idea. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle 6y
TheHeartlandBookFairy @Princess-Kingofkings I created a stamp for my LFLs with the name of the libraries & the contact information.(Facebook page, email and hashtag.) I stamp all of the books that go through the libraries as well as the back of bookmarks. I ordered the stamp either through Staples or Vistaprint. It wasn't very expensive at all, I've certainly got my use out of it! You can find more info on FB by searching Heartland Little Free Libraries 😁 6y
