These are some bookmarks I made recently, I made a couple for Mother's Day to go with book vouchers as both the Mum's I buy for are in the process of moving house. I seem to have quite a few 'practice' charms that I will not make up into jewellery but do not want to waste. The first is a soldered page pebble, the second two 'beaten' book plates riveted together.My head continues to buzz with creative ideas and yet time is finite and I must manage it - without beating myself up. A couple of times lately I have decided there is too much to do - so I won't do anything on 'the list' and have instead thrown myself across the bed with a good book, bliss. Today the sun was shining so brightly, after forecast rain, and I HAD to spend an hour in the garden, then catch up with some friends who live just out of town; far enough that the air is clean and quiet and the sun makes the damp earth give off it's own aroma.
Enjoy your week friends.

These bookmarks are a lovely idea Julie! I love the birdy one. It is just beautiful.
Glad you spent some time in your garden and then out with friends. I did a happy sigh thinking of you in clean air and standing on beautiful earth.
Julie, I like the bookmarks, I'm in love with soldering. Things just don't look the same around the house anymore, always looking for something to solder.
