The holiday card from the Book Bloggers Holiday Cards Exchange arrived today. My swap partner was Jeanie from Sam still reading and she lives on the other side of the globe in Australia. How exciting!
I got a very cute Santa card and a handmade bookmark with an origami woman on it. I love handmade gifts, and a bookmark always comes in handy. Yes, I have seen the error of my ways and started to use bookmarks again, 
. Thank you, Jeanie for a lovely gift and a great card!
Very nice, Rikki! I love bookmarks as presents and I’m glad your not dog earing your books any more!
The Japanese lady is lovely!

I looooove it!
Just wondering: had you given up bookmarks? I could never, ever, do that becase a)I love and collect them and b) It would be very frustrating to search for the last page I read.

{gossip} Psst, Elena! You know, Rikki used to fold over the corner of the last page she’d read. That was her way to keep track! Isn’t that… terrible? {end gossip}

It’s called dog ears, Judith! Are you too embarrassed to even say the word? lol. Yep, Elena, I am a book abuser and don’t mind admitting it.
I think book abusers are those who have books do not read books at all. Don’t feel bad about it! I couldn’t do it because of fear of not finding the page again (could happen and would drive me mad… and possibly angry).

Elena, you are right. I like your definition of book abuser a lot.
Awww, that’s a cute card! I also received my first (out of five) cards in this card exchange and as soon as they’ve all rolled in I will show them off on my blog!
And now that there is a bookmark in your home I can finally sleep well at night …. hahahaaa!!!

Lovely!
I was thinking of sending handmade bookmarks made with dry flowers, but I suck at handmade things…

So do I, Ally, that is why I do everything digitally.
I’m glad you liked the card and bookmark! I’m going to buy another kit next year because I had so much fun making the first set of bookmarks.
