Put my paper trimmer into action again today, chopped another segment from a January start, and headed to my happy place of making a bookmark. Making bookmarks never grows old!
Please laugh with me, though. For a confluence of reasons, over the past nearly two years, I began reading via audiobooks and ebooks almost entirely, something I would never have predicted. Let's just look at the data for the past 100 books I've gobbled up: only four were physical books.
I barely use physical bookmarks anymore!
Still, I am in my happy place every single time I paint a bookmark or use one from my collection.

So thankful for you Dotty, and this sunny,bubbly bookmark! It is warming me from head to toe!
Sheila, thank you for sunny, bubbly, welcoming-and-warming you! I bookmark your entry into my life as a door that opened wide to wonder : )
Reading is something that I have to work more on. Have e-books, prefer real books.... but it's a habit I have to work on. 100 books! Love that Chinese look of that great bookmark! That should invite any reader!
I have very vivid and specific memories of learning to read, of the first chapter book I read when in 2nd grade. Reading has been woven into the fabric of who I am ever since. The library—whether physical or electronic—is where I turn first when everyone else floods grocery stores at the threat of severe weather!
Thanks for your comments about the Chinese look and the invitational energy of my bookmark!
