The Book-Lovers Swap Gallery!

BTW *Sly*Sev*Steph* the House badge is a window decal not an iron on sorry, I was trying for an iron on but apparently all the places in Miami were completely out of transfer paper, I figured a window decal would be almost as good.

Oh, I am so glad to hear this..I was afraid that the iron on was going to be backwards when it got ironed on.

I am FINALLY getting pictures posted of the wonderful package that Camelama sent me!  BAD HORSEY for stepping on my digital camera!!


The whole package when I removed it from the box (note the awesome tote!)


The great book pillows:


Book Pillow at work:


Some "monkey fuel" (another Wicked reference!), aka tea!


Reversible tote:



Bookmark that will keep my highlighter handy:


Wicked-inspired bookmarks


Cute Shopaholic-inspired charms!

(sorry, not the best pic!)

Reading notecards:


I know I've thanked you a million times, but thanks again!  I love everything and it's all been put to good use already!

YAY! 

(psst - if your book is floppy, you can also just strap down the front and back of the book, and the pages will lay down themselves.  But only on flat floppy books - otherwise you have to do it the way you have it in the pic) 

(And for those who didn't read my note to Buckeye , the tote is from a friend who works at B&N - he had some extras from a marketing event they had for Wicked product releases.  So I didn't craft it, but I thought she'd appreciate it.)

And the green braided bookmark has arms and legs on it, so when you put it in a book, it's like a squashed witch.

Any chance that there will be a new book-lover swap anytime soon? I miss out on this one and would love to join something similar. Some of the items here are just amazing!

Oh! Oh! Oh!  I am just reading Wicked at the moment after seeing the musical earlier this year!  I can't believe how different the book is to the story in the musical - I know they always change things, but they seem to have written a completely different account of events for the musical!  I love the Wicked tote, even though it wasn't crafted and the wicked inspired bookmarks too.  The book cushion is rather inspired too I think!  Well done!

I  must read Wicked.

I love the fabric on the book pillows. And I like the idea of he squished witch bookmarks.

Camelama, your package is awesome! The fabric on those book pillows is perfect (I was a swap partner of buckeye's and know a bit about her tastes!). I also really like the tote and bookmark.

The book pillows are really awesome!  I love the fabric!

Love the book pillows!  And the witch bookmark.

Wicked was great - I really enjoyed it.  I am reading Mirror Mirror by Gregory Maguire right now and just finished Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister last week.  I really enjoy his writing.

I absolutely loved my package, I felt so spoiled! 

If you loved Wicked, be sure to read Son of a Witch and the new one in the series, A Lion Among Men!  I just started A Lion Among Men and it's driving me crazy that I don't have more time to read it!
