Posted - Jan 13 2024 : 3:03:22 PM I am an avid reader and I collect bookmarks. I am always excited to see new ideas for them. Browsing Pinterest today I saw so many cute ideas for Valentines theme bookmark crafts. I thought immediately that some of my fellow Farmgirls might like to do a handmade bookmark swap! Is anyone in?
You would need to include one Valentine themed bookmark and a little card with a book recommendation for your partner. If you want to include something about why you’d recommend that book that would be great! Tucks are welcome, but nothing more than that is expected or required.
Partners!!!
Karen - Wanda Ruthie - Sarah Marlene - Darlene (you rhyme!) Denise - Debbie Connie - Rebecca
I hope I didn’t miss anyone!
Signups go through 1/26 and mail out by 2/1.

Posted - Feb 05 2024 : 12:40:22 PM Hi Marlene, One of my favorite authors is M.C.Beaton Her mysteries are based in Scotland, with Hamish MacBeth, (Also on public TV). Agatha Rasin mysteries! lots of adventures and mysteries but not violent and she writes about Scotland Highlands too. I just enjoy good mysteries.

Posted - Feb 04 2024 : 11:40:28 AM I love everyone’s bookmarks!!! How fun! Has everyone connected with their partners? I fell out of touch on this swap, I lost a very dear friend and it’s been a bit of a struggle getting back to normal, so I am sorry for not being more connected on this swap. Ruthie, your bookmark is on the way! I hope you will enjoy it.

Posted - Feb 03 2024 : 1:45:43 PM All beautiful bookmarks and lovely tucks too. I received my bookmarks today from Denise. She made a lovely Valentine Bookmark and another beautiful quilted one. The use of old quilts to make them is so special. The handmade Valentine Card is so sweet, thank you for all the lovely gifts I appreciate you. The book Denise recommended is The Tinderbox by Beverly Lewis, she says it is a good book.
