The Bookmark Swap

I just finished a small bookmark swap with a couple of friends at the Primitive & Rustic board, so I thought I'd share what I received and what I sent. I love these bookmarks and it's a great way to remember my friends!

This first one is by Joanne G. It's a bookmark thong made with beautiful green glass beads and silver leaves and it makes the coolest sound when they brush against each other and it really dresses up a book and makes it look pretty--sort of like book jewlery. Thank you Joanne! I love it!

These 2 are by Dawn S. She also made a bookmark thong, but with very different beads. That's what I think is neat is that they can be the same thing, but so very different. She also made a very pretty large bookmark--for a larger book and it will be very easy to find my spot with that one--neat idea. Thank you Dawn I love them both!

These last 2 are what I made--nope no thong--wish I had thought of it though! These are both decopauged--the first one is done with fimo clay and a clothespin and the second one is decoupauged paper onto an over sized popsickle stick--never used before--brand new, so no germs! LOL!

This has been a fun swap as usual and I hope to do it again someday. I love to swap with all of my online friends and am working on projects for a Paper Bag Book Swap, Folk Bird Swap, Pincushion/Sewie Swap and a Doll Quilt Swap. I am a swap piggie and have earned my name. LOL!
