Would anyone be interested in doing a bookmark swap? I collect bookmarks and always enjoy picking which one I will use when I pick a new book to read. I know there are a lot of bookworms, like me, in the group, so hopefully this will be a fun swap.
One partner per person, and the bookmark can be handmade, can be purchased or can be something you picked up at an interesting bookstore you have visited.
Partners will be posted on Friday 4/15 and mail outs should be completed by Wednesday April 20th.
PARTNERS:
Grace (katmom) - Rebecca (BeckyT)
Heather (nndairy) - Julie (treelady)
Shelly (sassymomof2) - Marie (churunga)
Kathey (isewbernina) - Sherry (sweettea59)
Wanda (Wanda Sue) - Carrie (Carely)
Jean (JeanP) - Linda (quiltee)
April (Dreamer42) - Denise (levisgrammy)
Sarah (mrssarahhall) - Gail (GailMN)
Karen (Jokamartell) - Laura (LauraBell)
Ruthie Ann (Ruthie218) - Dianna (suny58)
If you want to send other bookish goodies, a list of book recommendations or more than one bookmark that is OK, but no one is obligated to send more than one bookmark. :)

April,
I received the bookmark you sent May 9th. Thank you so much.I guess the first one ended up somewhere in the depths of the postal service, wherever they keep lost mail.
Thank you so much.

Carrie thank you for my package!! I have never heard of a book thong, and love them both!! They are beautiful as well as the traditional bookmark. Also thanks for the suggestion of keeping a reading journal. I love that idea and will prepare my new journal to do just that. Thank you again for everything!

Sara, I'm so happy you received your bookmark - just a little something to say thank you for hosting this sweet bookmark swap.
Denise, I mailed yours and Saras at the same time, so hopefully, yours will still make it... I'm going to send you another one just in case, it should mail out tomorrow. xo

Has everyone been able to connect with their partners?

Hi Denise, No, I didn't get tracking, it was mailed with regular stamps... our mail has been sooo inconsistent here, I'm so sorry. It was mailed at least 10 days ago. I actually made your bookmark, so I will create another one for you and get it in the mail to you in the next day or two. I will confirm back when it mails, ok?

Did you have any type of tracking on what you sent? It is odd it has taken so long to arrive.

Julie spoiled me! I had to find my bookmarks in this wonderful stack of books she sent. She also sent a jar of delicious hot chocolate to enjoy while I'm reading!
Here are 3 bookmarks I found (if I find any more I'll post more pictures LOL!):
The little fabric square is a corner bookmark that slips over the pages.
Thank you so much Julie. You're a wonderful swap partner!!!

Hi Karen :)
I received my sweet bookmark package yesterday. I loved everything and will post a picture soon. I just got home from a day of working at our Master Gardener Plant Sale - I was responsible for the volunteer food - so I've got a mess to clean up!
The cute altered journal will make a perfect reading journal - especially for my TBR stacks! The bookmark and bookdarts will definitely come in handy and the cute notepals and library card notes will be so fun to use!
Thanks for being my swapping partner! What fun :)
