Looks like fun!"Katelin, I didn't post the "full" rules here, but since you're new to the swap I just wanted to make sure you knew that you are responsible for making or buying a bookmark based on any YA book, and then shipping it to whomever your secret swap partner is at your own expense.
It's easy and fun! I'm glad you joined in :)
Angela... I think I do want to join this round after all. :D

I really had intended to sit this one out, but I'm a sucker. I'm in.;p
I was gonna sit out too but I'd rather not. I like surprises!!! I am in!
Wow this looks fun, and creative! I'll sign up! :)

I'm going to have to pull out of this month's swap. Life is just a little bit too crazy right now, though I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.
Go on - I'm in!!I love these things too much :)

The past bookmarks are beautiful! Now I'm excited to start! :)
I'll pass out names in the morning for round 8. Madeline, please message me your address so I can give it to your secret swap person. Thanks!We will be shipping on the 15th!
I guess I need to get moving on a book idea. Hmm....
I have an idea and all the materials now just to put it together, lol!
Well you're way ahead of me then Michelle! LOL!
Well thats refreshing I was afraid I'd be one of the few who didn't start!
No many times I've ended up doing my bookmark two or three days before the due date (a couple of times the night before). I think I work better under pressure.

Then a couple days before it's due to mail and sit down..."I try that, but I often get people that are set to private. And if I add them then they know, lol!
I never really thought about looking at other people's bookshelves. I usually try and think of a book that I've recently read and really enjoyed. Might have to take a gander at my person's shelf.
I sent my address! Sorry about the delay, I was on vacation and forgot to send it in advance.
Mine is already made. Now I gotta send it out but I don't want it to get there too early!
Mine is *almost* finished and I am very excited about it. Don't forget that we ship by this Friday!
I've got all of the components, and plan to put it together on Monday night =]
Ooh I am such a slacker... I haven't done anything on mine. I haven't even decided on a book! SHAME!
Hmm I've started mine, but I feel like my skills aren't flowing today, hopefully tomorrow will be better!
OMG, just realized Friday is the 15th. I have a book but have done just about nothing on my mark. Guess I gotta get moving.
I am so proud, mine is all ready to go... EARLY even! I always end up mailing on the last day!
I started mine last night and I think it is coming along nicely. Hopefully my recipient will like it! :)
Shipping day is tomorrow! I'm so excited for my person to get hers!
I'm so sorry to my buddy. I won't be able to get my bookmark out until tomorrow. It's been a crazy week (tons of grad school stuff, regular work, and personal issues). I realized as I was laying in bed at 11pm that we had to mail and I haven't finished it yet. So it'll be the in the mail tomorrow.
Amy don't feel bad, I'm probably in the same boat. I seem to be destined to try and fail at 3 attempts before I get something that works (or seems to), and so I am still working on mine. Though I started really late and it took much longer than I thought it would. Which is a lame excuse but still. There it is. I'm about 90% done, and I HOPE that I will be able to get it out today, but might not. In which case it will definitely go out tomorrow, even if I have to scrap it and buy something! LOL
I'll be sending mine tomorrow as well- was pretty ill and didn't get back to my house (my mom is a blessing she came to get me because it was so bad!) till today.
95% done now... Just have to finish tie it all together, but this will be the challenge and make or break time... *bites nails*
Alright, sent mine. I'm a little worried, 'cause I went really plain and simplistic looking this time. *fingers crossed*
