I love bookmarks. Especially ones made by other people. They make great gifts and can be so personal. Bookmarks can be made from ribbon, leather, paper or a multitude of other things. In desperation I've even used a folded up square of toilet paper. I know scary isn't it.

These days bookmarks have another use besides marking where you left off in your latest book. They contain messages. Some can advertise the book store you picked it up in, some can have an inspirational quote from an author and some just contain beautiful images.

Here are two lovely bookmarks to print, cut out, laminate and add to your collection.
