I'll be getting home today, so I might have received. I don't know atm. Three of my bookmarks are done. The fourth I have to start over from scratch because there was a squiggly hair in the laminate machine. Go figure. But it's not mine. My hair is straight/wavy. I don't have squiggly hairs. I don't think I'm going to be able to make another set. T.T still noobish. I've made a total of three bookmarks before this swap... ever. O.e  Gonna have to work on my paper crafting skills.

I received a bookmark from Homerof2 today!  A cute green crocheted tree - I love it!  I've never had any bookmarks like this, so I'm excited to have a different style.



Thank you, Homerof2!!

Is that a blue dragon? He looks too cute!

I hope my partner has gotten the bookmark I sent!

Lovely bookmarks! Everybody have such great ideas!

I received today from blupaisan. I love it so much! It's pink and purple (my 2 fave colors) and it has a drawing of Hello Kitty wearing glasses and reading Harry Potter! So me! So awesome! Thank you blupaisan, I love it.

I like the tassels on the blue one. They look like the sort of thing my cats would LOVE to pull on so that I loose my place!! Same with the crocheted one- SOOO pretty... but an instant cat toy. I can't count how many bookmarks I've lost to my furkids.  

Luckly, I have swaps like this to replenish my collection!! Hurray!!

I noted that you didn't want a crocheted bookmark, so I made you a paper one. Which had me make paper for each of my partners. : I hope you guys like paper. Picture uploading is being funny... still trying.

My package from PirateColey is Amahzin. I received a GORGEOUS little metal bookmark, black white grey and a little silver heart pair charm. And the stickers are SO cute. (The fish ones were absorbed by my littlest brother's sticker book. But I gave them to him, because he wanted them. I would NOT give up the others though. (Fish aren't really my thing, but little mammals are.) :3
And I absolutely ADORE my new ferret bookmark. I even added a picture reference (I already had one that fit perfectly.) And I'm pretty sure she hasn't owned a ferret. I believe she said she had to look them up. I am in LOVE with it. I'm contemplating laminating to keep it longer, but I think I'll photocopy it and laminate the copy. I don't want to mess it up. (I love the pose, my weeper does that pose when she's standing to reach a treat.) Thank you SO much PirateColey. It made my eyes water a little bit to see it.


And not all cinnamon ferrets have the same basic patterns, but she got the general shape of the ferret. The proportions are almost exact, the slight folding down of the arms... every little detail, even the gentle squiggle in the tail...  Looks like her twin.... paper twin... with no pink mohawk. :3 (Weepers arms are folded a lot, but that's because she's letting me hold her, but when they stand on their hind legs on their own, their arms point out some and then the paws curve downwards some to balance them.


On the back it has a super sweet stamp that says handmade because you're worth it.
I'm VERY happy right now.

I'm SO glad you like your ferret bookmark!! I've never actually seen a real ferret, so I went to the pet store and looked them up online. I tried to make the paper one look a little like your real one. I did spray seal the bookmark, so it's a little more durable... I was going to laminate it, but was worried by 10$ laminate would eat it.

And I love paper bookmarks. I'm geeked about this swap!
