We will start it off with one of our favorites:

• There are so many bloggers and crafters on the internet with wonderful ideas for making your own bookmarks - from the printable templates to the handmade ornate. Many make great gifts and are wonderful projects for the kiddies. http://nheilke.com/blog/?p=2628

Member Projects:

• Check out member HolyChristmas' current project: You know how sometimes adults lie to kids because they don't want to handle the requisite whining that comes after being told the facts? She wants to turn that into poetry!

On the return of a book lent to a friend:

I GIVE humble and hearty thanks for the safe return of this book which having endured the perils of my friend's bookcase, and the bookcases of my friend's friends, now returns to me in reasonably good condition.

I GIVE humble and hearty thanks that my friend did not see fit to give this book to his infant as a plaything, nor use it as an ash-tray for his burning cigar, nor as a teething-ring for his mastiff.

WHEN I lent this book I deemed it as lost: I was resigned to the bitterness of the long parting: I never thought to look upon its pages again.

BUT NOW that my book is come back to me, I rejoice and am exceeding glad! Bring hither the fatted morocco and let us rebind the volume and set it on the shelf of honour: for this my book was lent, and is returned again.

PRESENTLY, therefore, I may return some of the books that I myself have borrowed."
