Both my daughter and I are avid readers and we both buy books like there is no tomorrow. Just the other day (after finding one on the shelf that I'd crazily bought for the second time) we decided we needed a bit of organisation. Laura bravely took on the job of writing each and everyone of them in a notebook to try and bring some order into our book mania. The number of books she wrote down was/is scary. Oh my goodness I have nearly as many books as I do rubber stamps and that is a lot!
Anyhow as she had took on this tedious job I decided to make a sort of 'thank you ' bookmark and one for myself too as with 175 books to get through we both need to do some serious reading. I've added a name tag on Laura's, but I guess the pink gave the game away anyway.
The stamps I've use are by Stamptivity and are available from Debbie Moore Designs. There are actually 3 different sets, but I particularly have a fondness for dandelion images (not on the lawn though) so I chose that set. I actually got an email from the company yesterday and they have free postage till the end of September and if you add the code STAMP10 there is 50% off. What a bargain?
My bookmarks are also for the following challenges...
- Totally Stampalicious - Bookmarks
- Rainbow Lady's Challenge Blog - Black, white and silver.
- Tuesday Taggers - Books
Phew two posts in one day - amazing. Back at work tomorrow so got to make the best of a free day.

Hi Ann, thanks for your lovely comments on my blog :) Martyn Parker at Create n Craft used to talk about a charity that collected cards for our servicemen n women. Maybe someone at C&C might remember.I'd love to publicise it too if you find out :D XXX
*gasp* These are STUNNING!!!! I mean truly FABULOUS!!!! LOVE those gorgeous images! Thanks for playing along with Totally Stampalicious!!!
Ooh these are gorgeous Ann I love them so much that I dashed straight over to Debbies site only to find they are out of stock, nooooooooo!!!! I'll just have to keep bobbing back 'til they're back in stock. Debs xx
What a fab idea for using up my strips cut off an A4 card to make 6" squares! I love the colours, they both look so striking!

ps, I got to my little local 99p shop but nothing like it, may have to get into town to go to the proper £1 shop!
Lovely idea Ann. I have been writing down all the books I've read for many, many years and it is so nice to look back on and find an author whose books I enjoyed but could not remember if I had read them all. I think my list goes back nearly 18 years when I started editing a little magazine called Bookworms. Anyway good luck with your idea of keeping tabs on what you have read.
The book marks which are so unusual are really great.
