As we start the new year, I am resolving to be more intentional with my time. That means more time invested in the things that I have always loved. Reading was probably my first love, and I have definitely drifted away from it. I still devour books ravenously, but mostly via audio. I want to return to the passion I felt for holding a book in my hands and being captivated by the world I find within its pages. Therefore, a beautiful bookmark is just what I need to inspire a more bookish year ahead!
While this is the perfect item to quickly make for yourself, consider making these as gifts too. In 30 minutes or less, you can have a lovely handmade gift to accompany a store-bought book or journal. To date, I’ve ONLY made 16--and given away most of those. I will be making another one JUST FOR ME in my favorite color.
