Bookmarks

  

Bookmarks. This is what you get when you google bookmarks:   You can save bookmarks by:

Adding bookmarks through the "Add bookmark" link on the left hand side of this page.
Adding bookmarks through the Google Bookmarks gadget on iGoogle.
Clicking on the star button on your Google Toolbar when you are browsing the web.
Clicking on the star icon next to any item in your Web History.

Things have changed since I was little girl.

What used to be front and centre in a book store, are now, somewhere in the back, forgotten. Maybe that's why my girls are so fascinated by them. That and the fact that they are glossy, have beautiful images and usually have a tassel or two! So in the name of keeping bookmarks (you know, the tangible kind that save your place in a book) alive - and reading for that matter - we decided to make some.

Perfect timing, since their cousins have their birthdays coming up and these would make excellent gifts!


We purchased some colourful paper. Beads and charms. And plastic coating to laminate the bookmarks.


This one was made by Ryan. 



A really simple and sweet bracelet.

The finished product. A bookmark for each cousin. A sweet little bracelet and a key chain. 



Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall...

It was just another day at the beach.
Ryan put on her own suit and even helped Andy with hers!

The aftermath! This is relatively mild compared to what they usually do. At least this time they didn't pull a runner!
