Homemade Bookmark Swap #2 !!

Wonderfully Awesome, I have been looking for a book mark swap. Thank you Darlin' for making this one.

P and S... I can't agree more with you about the hearts. They are so easy to give for all the effort someone puts their creation. I wish more folks felt that way.

yayy! again! i love it! thanks for recreating this swap =]

This sounds like so much fun, I can't wait to start making some!

Okay, I've made one. It's the first one I have ever made. I think it's pretty!

Thanks for all the comments!! I love making and trading bookmarks, so I'll keep on hosting this swap as long as the interest is there.. BTW!! If anyone does not receive a bookmark (and I like to believe no one would flake on such an easy swap as this) - Let me know.. I will angel any and all!! I trust that everyone will have fun and be creative & be on time with their mailing!! I love you all!! -jan

boo another no international :( what about us poor canadians eh?

Don't forget, guys and gals, that bookmarks don't necessarily have to be just rectangular in shape. I've seen directioms for some that are triangular in shape that slide over the corner of a few pages. Also, there are some which come in various shapes that have slits cut in them so you can attache them to the edge of a page. Hope that helps to get everyone's creative juices flowing. :)

I can't sign up for this one due to vacation schedule, so I hope you will offer it again. You can never have enough bookmarks! I love homemade, crafty ones. Please let me know if you offer a #3

I know this is very tacky, but if anyone is looking for blank die cut bookmarks I sell them on etsy as a PIF (pay it forward) item so basically you pay for shipping/handing and the $.20 listing fee. I just joined this swap can't wait!

I know I should do one of these internationally, as it would be soooo costly for shipping.. I will at some point, I promise! And to CraftyTweetie - Great Reminder! All forms of Bookmark are welcome!! Book thongs, Triangles, Fat or skinny... If it can be used as a bookmark, and it's homemade - it's AOK with me!! Just have fun creating - Please!!

And, don't flake..Remember, if there is any problem - contact me.. I will angel anyone who can't send out a bookmark to there partner, and I won't hold it against you!! I know stuff comes up!!

Thank you all for joining! I will absolutely be hosting more of these!!

-Kisses, Jan

whooops!! I meant it would NOT be costly for shipping.. My Baad....

I don't use bookmarks as i always lose them but i have made some really nice ones out of felt if anyone would like to do a private swap with me. send me a message.

I would love to sign up for this! I am new to this site, but am guessing we will be sent a partner on the last day of the sign up?

Yes, I will initialize the partners as early as I can the next day.. Why not join up??!!

Well, I guess that would be tomorrow!! Partners tomorrow!! Yahoooeee!!

As to the remark about not being international: Ya know, a quick search shows of the 480 swaps listed - 370 are international. And of the110 that are regional most of those are open to Canada.

I made mine already,its so cute i kinda want to keep it for myself--lol,j/k :-)

This is my first swap and I'm anxious to exchange handmade booksmarks. I love reading those this was the perfect first swap for me.

Do you also enclose a short note when sending your bookmark?

I do think it is nice to enclose a little note with any swap.. :)

Oh, I forgot to mention that bookmarks can be made using a variety of mediums...

If you are handy with a needle and thread, why not stitch one up? There are oodles of both pattern books and on-line patterns for small embroidered or counted cross-stitch images which would be perfect for decorating a bookmark. Likewise, I've seen fun and also beautifully delicate bookmarks which have been crocheted or tatted. Or why not make a bookmark out of a collage, Zetti, or Zentangle? If you happen to be skilled at crafting with metal or wood, these are options, too.

The bottom line, is with a bit of creativity almost anything within reason can somehow be fashioned into an interesting and handy bookmark. Just have fun! :)

NOOOO! I some how missed the signup for this! Shoot shoot shoot!~

Please have fun without me. I will force my friend to give me a heads-up for #3!!!

Oh Stacy.. I'm sorry! I'll send you bookmarks anyways.. And you can always send me your Wonderful creations, ANYTIME!! I'll remind you next time, I promise!! Kisses, Jan

I am so excited got my first swap partner. I have a million ideas for my bookmark can't wait to start working on it. I will definitely enclose a note.

in sending our bookmarks,we might consider using cardboard to pack them or write DO NOT BEND,so no one gets a bent or crumpled book mark--that wouldnt be fun for anyone! okay--happy crafting and swapping!---hedijo

Sending mine today!

I'm not quite satisfied with my first attempt, so I'm making another today. Will have these out in the mail soon!

I am working on mine for my partner today!!! She will love it!! After reading all these comments, everyone is so happy about sending theirs off. I am so glad I joined this swap and will join another on eyou host !!!! :)

Okay, all made up and ready to go out. It will be Wednesday before they get mailed though as I have to work both jobs tomorrow. This has been fun!

sent mine on Tues, and received mine today (Thursday). It is wonderful.

did want to say I mailed mine on time, but didn't mark sent until today. Have spent 2 days at daughter's helping build a playset .
