Take Me Away


We've reached the end of the week and I've got
more ideas to turn scrap paper into bookmarks.


Blah: reminders of a trip taken long ago.

TADA!: make your old ticket more useful!

TADA!: a souvenir napkin to mark a page.

TADA!: a museum badge to remind you
where you left off.


TADA!: an old boarding pass to tell you
where
you are in the story.

TADA!: let your books take a whiff of
your favorite bakery.

{This bookmark was created by trimming the paper
bag
and inserting it into a plastic ID sleeve}

Books can take you to new places.
Travel bookmarks can bring you back
to places you've been to.


Have a great weekend!

  3. I love your blog! Did you take a trip to Brazil? I saw the Varig boarding pass, I´m brazilian, and I see your blog everyday (I´m glad your pc is alive!)
    I also think that is very important to recycle, and you do a great job.
    Thanks!

  4. Thanks so much Marina for your comment :) Yes, I took a trip to Brazil in 2007 -- Sao Paulo & Rio! I had a wonderful time! I loved the Pao de Quiejo, Acai (prepared like a sherbet)& tried the Feijoada, too. And of course, I bought a pair of Melissas & Havaianas, and some CDs, too :)

  10. Hey...I have that book "A Homemade Life" by Molly Wizenberg...a friend gave it to me! Have you tried any recipes in there? I LOVED how it starts off that they eat better at home than most folks eat at restaurants!!!
