Reminded me of something that happened in church. My in-laws were ministers. This woman went up to MIL proudly showing her Bible in brand new condition and bragging it was 5 years old. MIL laughed, picked up her leather bound Bible, all dog eared and even written in and said this one was only 2 years old.

I have a custom-made bookmark that i made just for myself (i draw it in my ipad and print it out
It's here
But if my bookmark lost (just like what happened to my previous bookmarks, i used my exam papers and formula sheet or my bookstore card as a bookmark
One of my book has a movie ticket (teared the barcode because yeah. . Already watched it) as a bookmark actually

I made these. currently using the bottom one. Not sure why, but it's my favourite of the two.
Just noticed, the colour of the stops doesn't show up well.

That is wonderful, made me smile this early in the day.
I use anything and everything I can get my hands on when a scrap of paper is not handy. I've used tiny branches, locks of hair, cigarette lighter, thread, and page number memory (surprisingly this works most times if I get back to the book within 24 hours). Sometimes I'll judge the thickness of where I am and just do a mental 'scan and find' when I pick it up again.
Me2 until I got my kindle
Cute and cleverWe sure do!
I currently use nothing as I read almost exclusively on a Kindle. No need for a bookmark.
I remember as a kid we used to snip off one of the bottom corners of an envelope at an angle and use that for a bookmark. Nothing as creative as these, but this is what I am talking about:
Easy Envelope Bookmarks – Go Make Something
When not reading my kindle I used to use anything within reach. Ususally any kind of paper. Recently I found a pack of magnetic thingies that go over the top of the page.
I used to make these bookworms for school fundraisers.
Last year when one of my son's friends was trying to raise money for surgery I suggested they do a fundraiser for him, and I offered to make a pile of these. (Didn't happen, but these are cheap and quick to make. And sell out.)

Great way to use up yarn scraps, too, I would think.

Thanks pals. I actually love this bookmark than to my past bookmarks
(well, the templar order or simply templars is actually my faction in the game assassin's creed lol)
Those are simply beautiful!!!!
Do you guys remember when we made a ton of bookmarks for SK for his birthday one year? Moderator has he finally lost/permanently marked a spot with enough of them that we should do that again?
As for me, I'm a book wrecker. I dog-ear and crack spines. And read in the bath tub, and carry books in my purse/diaper bag so the pages get all bent. And worse.....
Now I do most of my reading on the Kindle, I don't know what book lovers think is worse?

Marsha has a picture of him holding my bookmark!!!! I should've asked for a copy of that.
