Description:

I love bookmarks but never seem to have any in the kitchen. I end up using pieces of post it notes or torn off pieces of paper. I thought it would be fun to have a swap for bookmarks 'eartagged' for the kitchen!

Due to the 'challenge' part of this swap, the dates are set out a bit to give people ample time to do research and make the bookmarks. Everyone has time to do their fav recipe bookmark before the swap even starts!

In this swap, you will only have 1 partner. BUT, you will make a total of 3 HANDMADE bookmarks and they will be a bit challenging.

1 bookmark will be representative of the region or state you live in. For ex: it could be a 'state food' or a quote about that state or something it is known for. Like Florida is known for Key Lime Pie.
Something the locals know and love. Just keep in mind that some ingredients are hard to find in different areas and try to work around it!

1 bookmark will be a favorite 'go to' RECIPE of yours. Something SHORT since it needs to fit on a bookmark. It could be your favorite party food or beverage or main entree.....

1 bookmark will be some food item YOUR PARTNER has listed in their profile. (like cupcake, tea, candy, coffee...etc.)

You can be as creative as you want, use both sides, use stickers, type it, calligraphy it, laminate it or not.......

This is open to newbies with a filled out profile. This is international. If you choose to join, please make sure you have hints in your profile for this swap.

Please be kind in your rating. If you get 3 bookmarks, give a 5, etc.

I am sorry I have to drop this swap before it even starts. I would love to participate, but my homelife has become a nightmarish soap opera. My grandson is missing. He is 21 and from Mt. Gilead N.C. My hubby has less than 6 months to live. You can read it on my profile. Sorry I have to drop out.

Hi guys....in review, I've noticed some people don't have anything food related listed on their profile. If you get someone with nothing listed, just use something the average person loves....like CUPCAKES! 8-)

Ok so I lost my computer and will most likely not be able to come on again before I send off the stuff. It will probably not say that I have sent my items but I AM going to send them. I'm printing out all the info right now.
