Twilight bookmark, made using a re-purposed page from the book. And before anyone screams "SACRILEGE!!!" let me explain by saying that a tragic coffee spill ruined half of the book, so I salvaged the rest and made bookmarks.
Skeleton key bookmark with fleur de lis patterned paper and a teal satin ribbon.
"Imagine" bookmark with hot pink ribbon. Perfect for my fellow fiction-lovers!
Peace and rainbows.
I plan on doing quite a few more of these too, because I try to encourage people to find a literary genre which appeals to them and release their inner bookworm. And it's good that I have such a passion for reading, because passing that enthusiasm along to others will pretty much be my job in a little over a year. Wow, that's not very long. But with each semester that passes, I feel more prepared and excited for a new page in my life than ever before. Get it? New page, har har.

love the bookmarks!
especially the one with the skeleton key
Wow. I love the Twilight bookmark! I remembered that part from the book pretty well too. Into my 3rd book now. :D
You're going to be such a great teacher. You'll have to have a bookmark-making assignment!
Brigid- I already have made some educational bookmarks for a class last semester. It was really fun, and I was thinking that I should incorporate a similar activity into my future classroom. I will probably have my students crafting things as homework assignments more often than not. I want them to know how to read and write well, but I also want them to do fun things in my class so that they realize that acquiring an education doesn't always have to equal boring bookwork.
And I can't thank you enough for the encouragement, you have no idea how much that means to me. I struggle quite often with the idea of having large groups of students whose love for reading or lack thereof will depend upon how well I do my job. I usually come to the conclusion that I am up to the challenge, but sometimes I doubt myself. It really helps to have friends and family who support me. So really, thank you so much.
