Even though I do have enough bookmarks to last forever, count me in! I really enjoy the bookmark exchange and look forward to it every year.

I look forward to this tradition every year......and I have a ton of bookmarks but always love the creativity of RPers and the cards. No one sends cards any more ! Count me in as well.

Ditto on the lifetime supply of bookmarks, but count me in too! I also look forward to both the cards and the bookmarks.

I'll participate. Am I the only one with several frames of bookmarks hanging on my wall?

I'm in. No such thing as too many books or bookmarks.

Do you have a time machine?

Looks like we are off to a good start.

The months seem to go by quicker.....the older we get,.....like the end of a T paper roll !

However, this event seems to be going in the opposite direction !

Did anyone notice that it's 2002 ?

I wouldn't mind setting my clock back 20 years !

I noticed. It's the year after I retired, and I wouldn't mind doing most of it again, up to the point my husband died, of course.

Yes, Carolyn, we'll just keep the good parts :0) ((hug))

I did notice but I didn't like 2002 as my husband died suddenly then.

I don't join in but enjoy reading these posts and wondering what the bookmarks look like, especially the handmade ones.

Annpanagain....the bookmarks are very clever and thoughtfully chosen . It is always a fun adventure. And, I offer you a hug as well, for your loss .

Rouan is not able to get to her computer just now, but she contacted me privately. She plans to join us as well. I'll sure we will hear from her soon.

I like to join as well if there still room.

Rosefolly is right, I do want to join in again this year. I was away and didn’t have access to a computer until now.

I hope it isn't too late to get my name in. I haven't been participating much here due to extremely poor health. This is something I can manage though, and I always enjoyed it.

The more, the merrier. It is defintely not too late.

Without comparing to last year's list, I'm guessing that we have pretty much the same crew as we've had the past few years. We are at ten right now. Please let me know if there have been any address changes since 2021. I'll send the final list out after Thanksgiving Day.

No changes for me.

Please note that the clock has been reset!

noted !

Friends, I have just emailed the address list to us all in time to work on it over Thanksgiving weekend if desired (or not). I myself am almost done with my gifts. This is sometime I try to do by this time every year but rarely succeed.

If you do not receive ithe list, please let me know. Also, please check your own address to make sure I have it listed accurately. I am a horrible typist.

I did not receive an e-mail

I used the same email address as I did last year. Do you have a new address? I have just sent it a second time. Strange are the ways of email. Please let me know if it works this time.

If not - and if you have last year's address list saved - there are no changes.

got it !

I am totally perplexed; I picked up bookmarks for this exchange while I was in Spain and just now decided to see if they will fit in the Christmas cards I have and I can’t find them! I put them somewhere safe and now they aren’t to be found. I do hope they didn’t end up in the recycling bin by mistake…

Updated to add, I found them! They were tucked in with some Christmas gifts, but the bag they were in blended so well with its surroundings, that I completely overlooked them both times I searched there. Big sigh of relief.

Welcome to the lost-item club, Rouan.

My friend keeps a notebook titled " Where I Put Things" and then misplaced it.

Bookmarks are on the way!

Mine went into the mail today :)

I recieved the one from Rosefolly today, mine should be out in the mail by Saturday.

I received Rosefolly's card/bookmark yesterday too - not only my first bookmark, but also my first Christmas card of the season. :)

Thank you for the lovely bookmarks !

I hate to single any out but......oh my gosh, the pheasant feather blew me away !!

Merry Christmas to all and stay healthy :0)

Yvonne

I have to agree with Yoyobon. The feather bookmark was the most remarkable one I've seen, possibly ever, though there have been many unique and clever bookmarks over the years. In fact I think I'm going to dig out my bookmark collection and gloat over them all. Tom and I are planning our annual viewing of Love Actually this afternoon, which is a good time for it.

Also, we don't get nearly as many Christmas cards as we did in years past, so I especially treasure these.

Merry Christmas to all!

Rosefolly

I have found that no one sends cards any more. It seems the e-card or e-mail is a substitute.

Remember the years when we'd get so many cards I'd have a basket of them in the living room that our kids loved looking through every Christmas.

So it was special to get actual cards again :0)

This year I found the perfect card to send out to my family and friends.......

( a nod to my 'visitor' )

Good one, Yoyo. I liked the one I got today about Vermont books.

I'm so sorry mine are going out so late! The bookmarks I ordered haven't come, so had to substitute. That's a lovely card, Yoyobon. We also haven't received many cards this year, but I haven't sent many out either.

I have had two cards so far from local politicians! My family don't exchange them so I just usually get one from a neighbour and a couple of ecards which I return.

I still have charity cards in a box I bought three years ago!

I buy a new table decoration every year. Often something that catches my eye in a charity shop and this year I saw a lovely Art Deco style lead crystal candle holder. I have a gold candle that is a perfect fit.

I am staying at home and the family plan to drop in with food and gifts over the long holiday weekend.

I’m so happy to hear that you liked the feather bookmarks. I’m always on the lookout for beautiful and unique bookmarks so when i saw these i knew that they would be appreciated!

May we see the feather bookmarks here, please? Or any others that can be posted to this thread.

Very unusual and pretty.

Stay safe as this monster storm barrels across the US just in time for Christmas.

Let's see if I can attach a photo of my bookmarks, including the feather one, which really is quite spectacular (I got a peacock one, oo!)

thank you everyone!

Another spectacular one is the one with all of our RP pictures on it. You will find it next to the feather bookmark. It brought a smile to my face, so clever!

I agree, Rosefolly. Very clever.

Rosefolly I love that one, too. As usual, all of the bookmarks were interesting and wonderful, along with all the cards.

The bookmarks were all wonderful! Thank you all, I treasure this annual tradition.

Perfect cover for the pheasant feather bookmark !!

Do you see it ?

I am struggling to start this book. Too much going on at present!
