I will go into this again just to keeo my streek
Sign ups end tomorrow. Any other takers?
This sounds like fun, I'd like to try it out. Sign me up too!

Hi guys, I passed out names just now. I'm sorry if we had a lot of partner repeats, but we have had a couple of small swaps! Small group = same recipients!
I'm probably going to mail mine out today as well.
I hoping to finish mine up today and get it in the mail by tomorrow. *fingers crossed*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I love mine. Going in the mail tomorrow. =D
I'm doing mine tonight and putting it in the mail tomorrow :-)
Woohoo! Last round was a late one and it looks like this is an early one!
Mine is done... but I realized that I don't have an envelope that will fit, so I'll have to run to the store when I get out of work to get a little mailer. It will definitely be in the mailbox today though!
Completely ran outta time! NEver got to make mine this round but I brought one that reminded of a book so there.... Out in the mail today!
Errr... Mine will actually have to go out in the morning. I put it in the mailer, and then was on the way to the mailbox, when I realized that I have no postage on it... and the Post office is now closed. And I don't have enough stamps. Shoot. =\Sorry... I am a dummy. In the morning though, Scout's Honor! :D
Mine came today! (And the one I made was sent out.)
Are we only waiting on 1 person to receive? Wow, we were on it this month!
I must be that person, but I imagine the bookmark is on it's way. All is well.
So...does that mean we can open early?!=D
I got my bookmark on Wednesday. Sorry y'all. Haven't had time until tonight to come a post.
If everyone has posted that they've received a bookmark, then open away!!
Thanks Becky for the bookmark. I like A Little Princess also. I'll try to post a picture of it when I get home from work. I really like the metal bookmarks. They fit nicely on the page of a book.
thanks Cristen! I love my bookmark. I'll hopefully take some pics tonight and email them to Angela to post for me!
Glad you like it Amy! Thanks for The Knife of Never Letting Go bookmark Cassie! I loved that book! I'm trying to find my camera's battery charger so I can take pics.

Here's the bookmark that Donna sent to me: With the note she sent:
In the book I'm reading:
I love it, it's so cute! I love that the legs can each mark a different page - that's handy for short stories like that. And, I dunno if you all noticed (it's real subtle), but in the background is the quilt my grandmother made for me which has horses on it too. ♥
Those are so fun! The horse is very sweet :) Glad you liked it! I had just finished that book and had to create one for it ~ I enjoyed the book too! Have you read any others in the series?I just saw this today and now want to be home so badly to open my bookmark!! Will happen as soon as I get home!
I read all of the Little House books when I was a kid, but I don't really remember them so I have plans to re-read them at some point. I'll probably squeeze in the first one soonish! :)
Crap! Just realized that I jumbled all of my statements together - brain warp-speed will do that...sorry for any confusion! (Donna sent the cool horse bookmark, for any who wondering)Anyway, Cristen I meant this in regards the bookmark I made: Glad you liked it! I had just finished that book and had to create one for it ~ I enjoyed the book too! Have you read any others in the series?
Becky: That's cool. I've actually never read any of the Little House books!
@ Cassie message 48: I just finished the first one about a week ago, so your timing was perfect. I checked The Ask and the Answer out from the library and I'll probably start it this week.
