In my mailbox today, I received the loveliest present! And no, it is not a book. Lol.ย But its close!
Last week, my close friend Chelsey messaged me asking me for a bookmark, since she had misplaced the one I had made for her in the summer. She told me she would make one for me too in exchange, and today I received my bookmark, with a lovely handwritten letter from her. ๐
I really miss the days when people used to send letters to each other (not that I was alive to be able to miss it lol), but it seems awfully romantic and old-timey so I was thrilled to receive an actual letterย in the mail, and not just letters from the bank..
The bookmark is all gorgeous, with thick, floral-printed paper, and with the word Spirit and my initials on it.
Here’s what the front looks like:
The back has a similar old-timey, parchment type pattern on the paper, with a quote from one of my favourite books, The Hunger Games.
The quote reads: “I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.” Aww, I love this quote!
I can’t wait to use it, thanks so much, Chelse! ๐
In other book news, I did get the book Before I Fallย from the library this week, which I managed to read all in one day. Look out for the review to that, which should be up tomorrow hopefully.
Thanks for reading.
‘Till next time,

Awwww *blush* this is too sweet! I’m glad you liked my amateur attempt at a bookmark lol. I had made a few before but my use of tape always seems to give them a 5-year-old-made-this look. Hope it finds its way into some wonderful books =)!
Awwww no, I love the way you designed it…its so pretty! And yes, it has found itself to every new book I’m reading these days. I just love looking it! ๐
