2015 Bookmark exchange

11 years ago

Is there interest this year? I'd be willing to facilitate if people would like to do this again. I actually found some nice bookmarks to share.

Let me know.

Welcome everyone, especially Harborrose PNW since you are new to this! We'll let this run for a while to see who else is interested.

Siobhan, Enjoy your holiday and congratulations on your new position! I was wondering if we would do the bookmark exchange this year but didn't want to pester you about it. Thanks for offering to be in charge of it Rosefolly. :)

Funnily enough, I too, have an idea for next year's bookmark exchange. It's all thanks to the sister I visited at Christmas. She's very crafty and decided to make some bookmarks while I was there. If I don't forget...I am going to utilize one of the designs she made (and gave to me) for the next exchange. Sheriz6, I like your idea for storing bookmarks and am going to look for something similar in which to store mine. Right now, they are in various locations around the house. I want to gather them all together so I can select just the right one for whichever book(s) I happen to be reading at the moment.

THANK YOU friends! When this bookmark exchange began three or four years ago, I bought an small wooden antique chest for my bookmarks. Each year, the collection grows. And every time I start a book, it begins with a search through the chest for the perfect bookmark. EACH one of you has sent me lovely gifts that represent YOU. Each one of you has bookmarks in that wooden chest that are treasured and used regularly. Thank you. Thank you one and all - for your thoughtfulness, your time, your creativity, and for being a part of my reading life. PAM

For those new to the board, every year a group of us exchange bookmarks. It doesn't have to be fancy, just a bookmark. We've exchanged lots of fun ones over the years including handmade, NASA missions, Peanuts, and ones reflecting where we are or where we've been. So, please let me know if you're interested and I'll let you know how to get on the list.

How does this work? Altho, to be honest, I mostly use checkout slips for my bookmarks so I don't accidentally return ( and thereby lose) any of my really nice ones!

You send and receive one bookmark to/from every person on the list; the bookmarks can be freebies collected from various places, handmade, whatever. For example, I normally send out a space mission bookmark, since I work at NASA and can get the freebies. I'm currently using the 'SPARK!' bookmark sent by Phaedra last year. And I can't remember who sent the the one that was a bookmark-shaped photo of her bookshelf - one of my favorites! :)

I usually collect bookmarks when I travel. One year I had some from New Zealand, one year I sent ones from the British Library. One year I made some. Some people collect freebie bookmarks all year from bookstores and libraries. All is good. We limit participation to 20 people, and generally it is a smaller number than that -- around 14-16 or so.

You do have to give me your address, but we use email to distribute that list so your mailing address is only shared with other participants. It is never posted online.

Great! We are up to eleven now by my quick count. I'm going to let it run through October to see if anyone else wants to join us. Then I will contact everyone to verify addresses.

For PAM - Nero wakes up when I try to take his picture. I hope a wide-awake picture will do. Here he is at 16 weeks (today) and 18 pounds.

I haven't been here in a while and boy, has it changed! I love that we can add pictures now (PUPPY!) and everything is so easy to edit! Please sign me up for the bookmark exchange this year--my info is the same. Glad you're using the SPARK bookmark, donnamira! It's from my library's Summer Reading Club.

Sorry for the delay. I'm still verifying one person's information. I've sent an email through Houzz.

Once I have everything, I will send the address list directly to those whose actual email I have. Not sure if the Houzz email can handle the long address list. No doubt I'll find out.
