That little bear is lovely Peggy!

[Stephanie]

Awe!! That's so cool, Peggy! Too cute :-)

[Janice, Moderator]

Awe! Your bear is so cute and cuddly! The bears I saw yesterday may have looked cuddly, but I wouldn't risk it. Whereas, you could survive a cuddle with yours. :)

[Laura]

Very adorable, Peggy, you do beautiful work!

[Kimberly]

I love the bear Peggy, it's adorable! I wish I could crochet.

That is absolutely stunning Susan!

[Cherie]

Your baby shawl is beautiful, Susan. I have never tried anything so complex. Two grand babies this year - wonderful. Are they your first?

Peggy - your bear is adorable. You really have a knack for making such cute animals.

[Susan]

Thanks to everyone for your compliments on my shawl. It is by far the hardest thing I've ever knitted. These are the first grandchildren, so exciting. First boy might be born on Mother's Day!

[Janice, Moderator]

That's exciting, Susan!

[Sarah]

Lovely Peggy and Susan. You are both very patient and talented.

[Tasha]

Since I keep on reading other books while I'm still in the middle of another book I run out of bookmarks so fast !! A great idea my English teacher gave me one day "why don't you make a bookmark out of tea bags separator .." And that is exactly what I did :

The size is perfect for a bookmark .. And I might work on another one soon if I ran out of bookmarks again !!

It's a great idea!

[CFDeeDee]

Thanks guys :D

[Tasha]

I've never heard of or seen a tea bag separator but what a cute idea!!

[Sandra, Moderator]

Tasha, I think a tea bag separator is one of those rectangular cardboards that come in the tea boxes separating the bags in rows.

[Tasha]

oh, got it. thanks :)

I could not figure out what it was either, Tasha. I buy Stash tea, so - no seperator.

Thanks Sandra. You are a wealth of knowledge today. I was just on The Martian thread and watched your link to the author reading. I did not hang around for the whole thing, though. I will get back to it after I go do some laundry. :0)

[CFDeeDee]

It is so common around here and it is exactly how Sandra explained it :D Thanks btw .. I've also made few bookmarks by crochet, but this was different ;)

[Cherie]

I agree about the creativity, CFDeeDee. Well done!

I loose bookmarks constantly so for me, anything will suffice. :0)

[Tasha]

I lose them too. My daughter recently colored in some printable bookmarks and then we laminated them. They are really, really cute. I'm trying not to lose these. ;)

[Travis]

Toilet paper is the best bookmark. You tend to always have toilet paper and it could also be used to blow your nose or as toilet paper should the situation call for it. If you ever were out on a walk eith nothing but your book and nature called you'll be glad your options aren't limited to leaves or ripping pages from your book. Because you book mark with tp. Ok so this situation almost never arises but I was locked out of my house in high school once and best I could find was an phone book out at the burning pit, had not been torched yet. I would have killed for tp. In fact I believe I hid a roll outside sonewhere just so that situation never popped up again.

[Tasha]

haha, too funny! But there seems to be a lot of truth in what you say. ;p

[Stephanie]

I've used my plane ticket as a bookmark before :)

[Sandra, Moderator]

Hilarious, Travis!

[Sandra, Moderator]

The Twining green tea I usually buy has separators, so when I read CFDeeDee's post and saw the pic I thought "It's true, they come naturally bookmark shaped!". Great combination: a good book + a delicious tea + a beautiful bookmark made from a tea bad separator.

Steph, plane tickets are bookmark shaped too! ;) Actually, I found one marking a page in a library book once. I still remember the book was The Husband's Secret, and it was a US airways domestic flight. :) Too much stupidity. I need my breakfast now!

[CFDeeDee]

Same thing here Cherie I have no idea where do they disappear !! How strange !!

That sounds so cute Tasha .. Share a picture of it I would love to see that <3

@Traves: Hilarious LoooL

Stephanie that sounds great, I used to use cinema tickets, but a plain ticket sounds better !! It gives me of few ideas for a new bookmark :D

Yes, Sandra they do come in perfect shape .. You just need to add your touch ;) give it a try and show us what you end up with :D

[Tasha]

I'll try adding a pic but I can usually never firgure out how to post them on a thread...I'll try though.

[Stephanie]

Do you have photobucket Tasha? That is what I use when I add photos :)

You just copy and paste the html link of the photo.

[Tasha]

I forgot about that. I did at one time so I'll have to go over now and see if I can get it going again. thanks!

[Stephanie]

Yay!!
It was giving me a little trouble this morning but hopefully the bugs are fixed :-)

[Tasha]

Ok, I'm back in on photobucket. I found a few pictures of things I made way back in 2007/2008 so to test it out here I'm going to post a top I crocheted for my daughter who was almost 2 then (I think). I don't crochet anymore (no time) but I enjoyed it alot back then.

[Tasha]

It worked! Ok, I'll get to work on showing some of her bookmarks today. :)

[Stephanie]

Awesome crochets, Tasha!

[Sandra, Moderator]

Beautiful, Tasha!

... Are you and Lexx the same person? Seriously, you really make me wonder some times...

[CFDeeDee]

That is one lovely top Tasha ..

[Tasha]

thanks guys :)

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I just asked Lexx if he has a secret family and tractors somewhere so he could talk with such conviction about them. He is pissing himself laughing about now.

I feel like I am being trolled in an epic way.

[Travis]

Pretty sure it would be near impossible to be around goodreads and never let any Aussie-isms slip out if that were the case.

[Janice, Moderator]

I've used toilet paper as bookmarks before. I've also used envelopes, scraps of paper, promo cards from magazines, and anything I can find that would fit the bill. Right now I'm using an actual bookmark. It was provided by the library with the return date stamped on it.

HAHA! so funny. :D

[Peggy]

Lovely top Tasha!

[Sandra, Moderator]

You guys made me laugh!

CFDeeDee,Can you believe the discussion your bookmark brought up? This group is amazing!

[Tasha]

thanks Peggy. :)

[CFDeeDee]

Hahahaha Rusalka if he told you it won't be a secret no more :P see my point here !!

It is a great group Sandra .. Who doesn't like bookmarks ?!! ^.^"

I just had 2 bullets today, one is a 9mm and one is a bit longer about 1 inch long .. Planing on turning one of them into a bookmark :D but I'm afraid that if I took it on public it'll be taken away by the police or securities !!
