Are you in, Donna?

Sure!

I sent you an email Angela in regards to my new address.

So jealous Emily! I have ten more days with students, then four workshop days and THEN I'm done.

Ok, don't forget that we will be shipping out on June 15th. Feel free to get started on your bookmark now!

I have no clue what I'm going to do!

I don't have a clue yet either, maybe I'll read something that will inspire me over the long weekend. I have just a couple of chapters left in an adult book (Leaving Van Gogh: A Novel),then I was planning oln finally starting Battle Royale. Don't know if I'll get to read anything else.

Same.. I'm hooked on George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones / A Clash of Kings. The HBO show intrigued me and now I cannot put them down. No new YA for me until I finish all four, so it'll just be a memorable novel for my bookmark this month.

Anyways, just posted my bookmarks in the other thread. Thanks again, Amy and Corinne!

Actually I have a book I'm reading now Immortal: Love Stories with Bite. It doesn't say it's YA but all of the short stories are written by YA authors and the characters are all YA. Could I use it?

Yes, GR says it includes part of the YA series the Morganville Vampires (or something like that). It'll work here!

I haven't read that series so I didn't know what it was. Yay me! It'll also count for the April-May challenge so bonus!

I'm in... last time I felt constricted because I had to follow the theme... now I am worried that I have too much to choose from! lol

I usually end up making a bookmark about the current book I'm reading. This time I planned it out as I was reading the book.

Sign ups will close tomorrow for this round. Get in while you can!

Today's the last day for sign ups....

Okay, I've distributed names and addresses for this round. Please be sure to mail it on time! If you are mailing out of the country, please try to get your bookmark out early if at all possible. Remember, the sooner we all get our bookmarks the sooner we can open them! :)

Mail by June 15th
Open on June 30th (sooner if we all receive early)

Signups for the next round will open on June 15th

Sent mine! I ordered it from Etsy because I knew I wouldn't have the time so now it is in the mail and on it's way!

Don't forget that Wednesday is shipping day!

I ordered from Etsy too, as I ran out of time (completely forgot about it is more accurate..) I knew something was going to fall between the cracks during my job transition!

Oh well, they do a better job than me. :P

I took mine to the post office tonight so it'll send out tomorrow

Bookmark is in the envelope, ready to go in the mail tomorrow morning.

I had intended to do something really cool... and then ran out of time. *sigh* Oh well... maybe next time.

I couldn't find an envelope to fit my bookmark (I made one a little bigger than I normally do). So I'm running to the store after work and it'll be out in the mail in the morning. Sorry I'm mailing late!

Hope that your bookmark will get to you, Leah. I hear Canada's postal service is on strike!

In the mail!

Today is the day!! Get your creations in the mail please!

In the mail.
I'm anxious, though. I feel like I was a little too confident in the mail system, and I'm worried that I should have put it in a padded envelope. If it gets damaged in the mail, I might cry. I love how it turned out.

I sent mine out Monday and just didn't get a chance to get on until today!!

Ok, I did get my done and in the mail today. Should have ordered from Etsy since I ALWAYS wait 'til the last minute and we just got back last night from a week in Vancouver :) Oh well...but I did supplement with another from there.

Excited to see how yours turned out Misty. You always do an amazing job!

Oh, and mine has already arrived in the mail now I'm super anxious for opening day...

Aww, thanks! I think I'm starting to run out of ideas, though.

I should really have ordered from Etsy too... I had grand plans for mine, but they didn't work out this time and my back-up is cute, but really simple (AGAIN!) and not what I'd intended to do. *sigh*

I hope my person likes it though!

Putting mine in the mail tomorrow!

put mine in the mail late last night. Sorry ended up having to work late. It will go out today.

I got mine in the mail today! The package says it's from Forks Washington how weird?

I love it. I bet your bookmark is twilight inspired.

Wow, very cool! I got my bookmark in the mail yesterday. I can't wait to open it!

I just wanted to post that I did get mine sent out. I was working on it the day before we left on vacation, and didn't have time to post when I mailed it! Also, the same day I got back (yesterday), I received one in the mail!

As others have said, my plan didn't work out quite like I had hoped either but not too bad overall. I hope my person likes it...*crosses fingers*
