I am an avid reader, I read every, single day.  Besides crafting, my hobby that I love most is reading...and photography, and cooking lol, but reading is high up on my list.  I was at my sons Open House the other night, and the Book Fair happened to be running at the same time.  We purchased some books, and he wanted a bookmark (so I got him one).  I wanted one as well, but they were not my style or cute.  So, I decided I would make myself a bookmark.
