I am doing this in another group and we are all were assigned a person to make a bookmark for (or buy) Is anyone interested? I would at least want about 6 people to do this with but it is entirly up to you guys. I thought it was a fun idea and I am making mine now and I thought I might offer it to you guys.


Let me know!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Sounds like fun. Count me in!

Wahoo so far we got 2 LOL


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Well if nothing else, you and I could send each other a book mark. LOL!

That's what I'm saying LOL

I was thinking that we all name 3 of our fave books and then whoever gets who will create or purcahse a bookmark according to the others interest.

Does this make sense? It does in my head!

My 3 are:

1- The Rice Mother by Rani Manicka
2. The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
3. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

I guess it would be safe to say that if you never read the book you can base the bookmark on the cover....???

OR we can just say what we like to do (besides reading!) like dance, tv, music etc...


message 9: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) I was considering sewing mine for whoever I'm making mine for - they might not be themed per se, but I could do favorite colors, etc?


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I'm willing to do whatever.

Well we can either go ahead and do it with just the three of use or would you rather wait a little more?I say we go ahead but it is up to you.

I think it should go in the order of which we started :

Donna
Lyn M
Molly

Meaning I make one for Lyn M, Lyn M makes for Molly, and Molly makes for me. But let me know if you wanna wait for more people.


message 12: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) We can go ahead!

WAHOO!!!


message 14: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) Favorite colors, Donna? :) I'm excited! I've had bookmarks on my list of things to sew for a while now.

Thats hard! I guess Orange or Green???


message 16: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
BTW we should message the person who is to send us a bookmark our address right???


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Sorry - Bad weekend here, so I haven't checked in for a while. I'm cool with this. I will be sending you my address Donna. As for my fave books, man that's hard. I would say:

Little Women (Oxford Bookworms, Level 4) by Louisa May Alcott
Hawaii by James A. Michener

Mostly I like anything about medieval royalty, hawai'i, or anything by Mark Twain.

My favorite colors are green and silver.

Molly - I will asked for your preferences in the PM I sent back to you.

I finished mine. I hope you like it!!! I will post pics when you receive it and open it. I won't be able to mail it until Friday though.


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Wow, that was quick. I haven't even started mine yet, but I will get to it soon!

Can't wait to get it!

It is kinda simple and cool. You didn't make it easy LOL


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Sorry, I'm sure I will love it!!

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
No worries! I say we try to mail them at the end of next week??? Does that sound OK? If not you tell me what works best for you guys.


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) End of next week works great for me. I have finally decided what to do, and am working on it. Hope you like it, Molly!


message 24: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) Yeah, end of next week is perfect! I'm sure I'll love it Lyn!

Just mailed it!!!!


message 26: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) I'm putting mine in the mail today!! Excited for you to get it Donna!


message 27: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
Wahoo!!! Should we wait until we all have ours to open it?


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I'm still working on your Molly, but I hope to put it in the mail tomorrow. Sorry I am last!

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
No rush!!! I was just making anthor for someone else and then I figured if I didn't do yours then then I would never get to it!


message 30: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) Don't worry Lyn, no rush! I've had free time this week (my one week of summer between school finishing and work starting) and got it done early.


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I'm finishing it today. We've had sort of a mini family crisis this week, and I didn't get to work on it at all since last Friday. I should finish in one day though.

Donna - I got mine two days ago, but haven't opened it yet. Didn't know if we were waiting for slowpoke me!

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
Let's all try to open it together if the suspense doesn't kill ya!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I feel bad for you. For me, I feel that having mine to open is just incentive for me to get Molly's done.


message 34: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
I got mine in the mail!!! I wanna open it!! I gotta try to hold off LOL!!!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Oh no, I put Molly's in the mail yesterday morning, so it shouldn't be much longer!!!!

Molly, let us know when you get it. I hope you like it.


message 36: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) My bookmark came today! When can we open?? :)


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Glad it got there, Molly. I hope you like it. I'm ready to open whenever. What say you, Donna??


message 38: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
I say lets go!!!! Should we post pics?? I have mine at home so it will have to wait until tonight but feel free to go ahead and tear it open!!!


message 39: by Wen (new)

Wen (thespoilingone) | 109 comments Oh yes post pics. I only saw this thread yesterday and thought it a great idea. Had I been on earlier when it was starting I would have participated.

Maybe if you are all thrilled with your bookmarks this can be done again sometime?


message 40: by Donna, The Pusher (new)

Donna (dfiggz) | 3119 comments Mod
I would love too!!! As soon as we post pics maybe we can begin again....????


message 41: by Molly (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) yes! I will post pics this afternoon & would LOVE to begin again (maybe more people will join us next round??)!


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) I am opening and taking a picture as we speak. I will then post the pic. YAY. This was fun.

Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Here is my pic. OMG Donna, you made this!! Wow, it is beautiful. I LOVE IT. It puts the one that I made for Molly to shame.

Bookmark from Donna

Aww thx!!!!


message 45: by Molly (last edited May 19, 2010 12:37PM) (new)

Molly (mollystoddart) Here is my picture! Lyn, I really love mine - thank you!




message 46: by Wen (new)

Wen (thespoilingone) | 109 comments Oh both are very pretty. This would be fun to do again and get more people involved in.


Lyn (Readinghearts) (lsmeadows) Thanks Molly, I'm glad you like it. It should lay flat easier after you use it for a while. I can't wait to see the one that you did for Donna. It is really neat to see how different they all are and it was REALLY fun to do.
