As an artist, I spend quite a bit of time working on fancy bookmarks...I use watercolour, specialty paper, and coloured pencils.
But for some reason, I always lose them! I only get one freaking week of using my adorable bookmark and then it falls out, is lost, or disappears into thin air! -__-...
It is then that I grab a piece of toilet paper, a sticky note, or an old receipt...These are the bookmarks that I NEVER lose!
That one square of toilet paper never falls out, is lost, or disappears into thin air! NEVER!
Right now I'm using a beautiful piece of lace as my bookmark...
I sincerely hope that it breaks my curse of crappy bookmarks!
Hi! I've been through many bookmarks but by now I've resorted to doggy earing the pages! Too much work! BTW I like your blog!
ReplyDeleteDog-earring makes me feel guilty...which is odd cause I feel no guilt when cracking spines...hmmmm...:P
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much! I like your blog too :)
I always lose good bookmarks too. I just grab whatever is closest and use that. The last few books I've read have been on my Kindle, I love not needing a bookmark. It automatically holds my place for me :) and I can add a bookmark if I want.
ReplyDeleteI won't dog-ear a book. I used to. But, not anymore. Just feels wrong.

You could post pics of your homemade bookmarks, i'd love to see them :-)
ReplyDeleteI've misplaced most of them, but I'll post a picture of one I just made for my friend's b-day ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post Sarah, I'm glad I'm not the only one, toilet paper has held a page for me many times.
ReplyDeletelol...Thanks :)
