Just curious - bookmark exchange this year?

4 months ago

Any interest? Let me know!

As an aside, I bought some lovely bookmarks in Oxford (UK) on our vacation this September. Somehow I managed to misplace the bag they were in. In any case, they did not come home with me. However, I do have some from our earlier vacation to Canada. I'm always on the lookout for bookmarks when I am traveling.

I'm in as usual. I also look for bookmarks when traveling. I got some from Redwoods NP this year. Now where did I put them?

Count me in too - even though I have bookmarks galore, the exchange is too much fun to miss.

I was having a wonderful vacation with my DH :-) Our second (and I hope not last) trip to Vietnam... I did get one bookmark, as a gift for a friend :-) It is made of brass from a workshop that provides employment for handicapped people. A bit expensive for the Christmas Exchange though :-) Hmmmm....you've given me an idea ...

It's funny that this topic of holiday cards came up because we were just discussing this in our office. We've even noticed a significant decline in the amount of cards we receive at work. Hopefully people and businesses will still value the tradition in the future. Also, thank you for the bookmarks I've received. I was trying to hold out until I received them all, but I just couldn't! It was a delight to open all of the card and bookmarks. Finally, I'm glad you like the geisha bookmarks that I sent. I always spend a lot of time trying to find a unique bookmark to send.

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.

My mother spent her last years in a nursing home with vascular dementia. She continued to read until shortly before the final months of her life. She read much simpler books than she had read in her earlier years, and she rarely finished them. I suspect she forgot what happened in chapter one by the time she reached chapter three, but so long as she took pleasure from the process, it was worthwhile to her. It must have been. She requested a new supply each week and seemed to enjoy the effort. Reading was the fundamental activity of her life. The nurses told us that she was the only patient on the dementia ward that they had ever seen reading. The others watched television, which she ignored.

Even though I have an amazingly large collection of bookmarks, I would love to be included as well!

Not me this year. I have more than I could ever need including 16x20" frames of them down the hall, vases of them, and envelopes of like-minded ones I separated at some time when I was feeling ambitious about more frames. I will miss them, though.
