I ordered us copies of Brené Brown's newest book, Dare to Lead, to honor Sylvia's birthday this month. Because her birthday will take place a couple of weeks before the book will be released, I wanted to also send something that would arrive at birthday time.
A bookmark, you suggest? Handpainted?
Awesome idea!
The challenge: painting a bookmark to pair up visually with the book, with only online images from which to work for color matching.

What a wonderful tradition! Beautiful gift of book and bookmark to a cherished friend!
Thanks, Carol. Yes, a fun tradition. Sylvia introduced me to Brené Brown years ago, and I love that I'll introduce this book of Brené's to Sylvia. I'm happy with my bookmark creation, too!
This is such a rewarding tradition! I do something similar with a friend several states away, and we get on the phone pretty regularly to discuss whatever we're both reading! Love the pairing of the bookmark. I think ALL books should come with a bookmark accessory!
Love this tradition you have with Sylvia, love how bookmark contains the title of the yet-to-be-released book. Perfect in every way!
Ironically, we actually spend little time discussing the books! Nonetheless the connection of reading the same book at the same time is palpable.
Agreed, all books should come with such an accessory!
Definitely a sweet tradition. I had fun taking on the challenge of embedding the title in the bookmark in a way that wouldn't be overly in-your-face. Thanks for sharing that you like it : )
Love this story, what a perfect, SPECIAL gift :)
Thank you, Sheila. It felt like just the right thing and was happily and gratefully received : )
