Before Bookworm Bookmarks
Monday, April 2, 2007 at 08:00PM I was talking on the phone with my friend, Carol, this afternoon. She shared that she had recently started reading Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest. As we talked, I walked over to the bookshelf and pulled down my own copy and began thumbing through it. As I turned the pages this once white, now yellowed piece of paper fluttered to the floor.

See that little drawing in the upper left corner? That's Piglet with a honey jar. See those little circles under Piglet? Those are bees flying around the honey jar.

I still find these special bookmarks from time to time. Here's another one that I've used for years. Sam made it in first grade when we were studying mirror images, transfers, impressions, prints and lines of symmetry.

Ahhhhh! I love those. Fozzy really looks like Fozzy!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I have heaps of bookmarks like that. I even have a dragon one for Eragon. It's very impressive. Aren't they the best?!
Oh, I love it! I was recently thumbing through an old Bible, and a note fell out that my oldest son had written when he was about five or so--so precious! I hadn't intentionally kept it, but I was so glad I had unintentionally kept it! I also have several bookmarks crafted with love by little hands. What treasures!
Cute,very cute.
