Description:

I love bookmarks and I believe that handmade ones are the best. Because for one someone made them espically for you, and for another they are all different. For this swap you will be creating 4 bookmarks 2 for each partner. When you sign up you need to state what your favorite things are so that your partner can make the bookmarks espically for you. For instance you may like dogs your partner can make a bookmark with a dog on it. Or say you like purple they can make a purple one. Pretty easy huh. Make them as fancy as you wish and you may end up with one of those new heart ratings. That would be nice. This is an international swap because postage should be minimal. 4.5 or better ratings if you have no sends contact me please. Newbies are welcome to join. Please note that if you have been on one of my swaps and have not sent you will be banned. I want everyone to get their bookmarks. Do Not sign up if you can not send!!!!!

To my swap partner...anything you do is fine with me! Thank you in advance. Sue

FunToScrap 02/ 6/2007 #

I am happy with any kind of bookmark. I will state, however, that I am not much into cartoons, branding or characters. But if that is TOTALLY your thing, go for it! What I love about these SWAPS are the variety and the differences we all have. :-) Chy

DaCraftyLady 02/ 6/2007 #

I love pink and burgundy and cats.. :) But anything you like will be fine with me...:)

dulcimer 02/ 6/2007 #

i love earth tones,jewel tones and dragonflies,fairies & angels

user5113 02/ 6/2007 #

Oh and by the way I could list my likes huh. Well I love fairies of all kinds. I also love pit bulls. Marilyn Monroe too. Colors love black and deep purple. Remember our likes are only ideas. But keep them neat. Remember only send what you would be glad to recieve.

airidane: Do these have to be paper? I make fabric and ribbon and bead bookmarks, but don't want to join and then be rated low because they weren't made of paper...Thx.

user5113 02/ 6/2007 #

Oh well I guess they could really be made of anything I was thinking paper but I wouldn't object to having a beaded bookmark. You shouldn't be rated low. You just have to send 2 bookmarks to 2 people. And I guess you can make them out of anything. Anyone have any objections to this? Let me know if you do.

user5652 02/ 6/2007 #

I like anything with flowers or gardens, and I like turtles, now there's a challenge. I love reds and oranges, but I would be happy with any color.

TerryF 02/ 7/2007 #

Thx. I will sign up for now, pending any objections. Please see my profile for lots of info on what I like.

simplysarah 02/ 7/2007 #

i love bright colors, turtles frogs, butterflies, flowers, tie dye, asian inspired things, black and white... i dont like dogs (if you want to send them its cool my kid steals half my bookmarks anyhow), chickens or religious stuff. i do love quotes from random people and dont mind if they are religion based, i just dont want crosses, modonnas, bibles, etc.

user6158 02/ 7/2007 #

I love Victorian fru-fru, fairies, flying pigs. I prefer earth tones and jewel tones. I don't care for abstract designs or in your face religious designs.

Nathalie 02/ 8/2007 #

I'm into anything but don't like purple much

Nathalie 02/11/2007 #

I have joined this one but will actually be out of the country when we get our partners. I will have to wait to make them until partners are assigned. I will be back on March 7th and do my best to get them in the mail on March 10th. But it might take until March 12th because the weekend is in between.Is this OK? I would really like to make bookmarks according to my partners preferences and will send them for sure!

gracemom6 02/12/2007 #

I love purple, jewel tones, horses, butterflies, scripture, nature....made from paper, ribbon, fabric, beads, just about anything is lovely.

lnick73 02/13/2007 #

I love brown, aqua & pink. I like modern looking things. Love cherry blossom trees, bird designs and leafy designs. I'm not picky when it comes to bookmarks...so anything will be fine!

Alphenquilts 02/14/2007 #

I don't like 'cute' but you are free to make me what you like. Some things I do like: vintage, red, words, Asian.

user5587 02/18/2007 #

ellawitch 02/20/2007 #

tIREEN 02/20/2007 #

Cnvingltlbtch 02/20/2007 #

I have a few likes and dislikes on my profile but i\'ll list some here too. I like butterflies, faries, Asian styles, purple, reds, yellow roses. I also like vintage or words. Not into religion or Hello Kitty.

ukquilter 02/22/2007 #

I have no preferences as I just want to see what you like to make. In particular to Tassy I think fabric and beaded bookmarks wouls be great

TexasQuilter1 02/26/2007 #

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing what my swap partner will make. Anything is fine with me, but I'm not crazy about cartoons, TV, movies, etc. I love pretty things, especially if they remind me of spring. I like bright vibrant colors, but I like pastels too. I love nature. Religious themes would be fine. :) Looking forward to swapping!

user5726 02/26/2007 #

I like vintage, collage and anything funky. I will be happy with what ever someone makes though.

KarenS 02/26/2007 #

My favorite colors are red and purple. I like collage, florals and cats. I'm easy to please, though, and will be happy to receive your favorite designs.

orcasong 02/26/2007 #

I love ocean animals of all kinds.
I love dragonflies, ladybugs, and butterflies.
I love gerbera daisies. I love the color yellow and other bright colors.
I love Norse mythology and designs. I love Asian themes (Buddhist, Asian calligraphy & characters, bamboo, Asian watercolor, etc.)

(If you need more ideas, check my profile)

cheekywabbit 02/28/2007 #

I like just about anything. like all colors and most subject matter. Am into reptiles, run an exotic animal refuge in our county.love beading, and funky collage work.

twobluecrows 02/28/2007 #

I think I had signed up and dropped from this swap earlier, but now I find I can manage it, and I'm so looking forward to it, especially after seeing all the great ideas for themes and materials.
Tassy, I'd be really happy with you as my sending partner, because I love them made of anything but paper--though I'll love a creative paper one, too. I like blue and silver, skies, clouds, nature, bits of metal, copper, wire/bead charms, anything sparkly and bright, abstract is great, magical themes, too. No clowns though PLEASE! I realy don't like clowns at all.

cheekywabbit 03/ 1/2007 #

when are we going to get our partners? I would really like to get started but need to know who i am sending to

Cnvingltlbtch 03/ 1/2007 #

Hopefully we will get our partners before this weekend. I somehow managed to be kidless this weekend and with hubby working i will have tons of free time to work on projects.

user5726 03/ 1/2007 #

I was wondering the same thing. I am wanting to start this weekend.

Alphenquilts 03/ 2/2007 #

Hello...I sent my swaps out today to Denise in Indianna and Carrie in Georgia....:)

user5726 03/ 5/2007 #

Is there more than one denise. Because I live in Idaho. So, hopefully it gets here. I bet it will with the correct zip code though.

lob 03/ 5/2007 #

I love the color green and all things pretty in nature, like trees and flowers and birds and butterflies.

DaCraftyLady 03/ 6/2007 #

hi Denise I copied it wrong in the email but I mailed it to the right state.. :( duh,,,sorry it is onits way to Idaho....:)

Cnvingltlbtch 03/ 6/2007 #

I sent mine to Serienova & Marlene. They went out of the 5th.

user5726 03/ 7/2007 #

no problem, thanks so much... I mailed mine today to Crystal and Carrie..Hopefully they will like them.

zanylady 03/ 7/2007 #

Hi Cnvingltlbtch....Received bookmarks you nicely made for me. As I love to read and always have several books going at the same time, I will enjoy using your bookmarks. Thank you!

Couldn't decide whether I should mention this but now think we ALL need to consider this: When sending "bumpy" items in a regular envelope, sender may want to write "hand cancel please" on the envelope.

Alphenstamp, thanks so much for the lovely bookmarks. I put a photo in the gallery, they are worth showing off. My daughter is trying to copy your torso one (she's 11 - they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery - she doesn't copy mine!) - Joan

joanandemma 03/17/2007 #

Just uploaded photo of Ellawitch's bookmarks. The photo should have been rotated. I'm learning all this digital camera stuff and uploading pictures (resizing them first). I have no idea how Ellawitch made that bookmark! I am so laughing at myself!

zanylady 03/17/2007 #

Thanks Serienova, I received your artwork today. Thanks so much for my new bookmarks.

Would like to know if twobluecrows and Baglady received the ones I sent on March 5th????
