This semester I seem to have a lighter workload than I have had so far in my college education. This gives me opportunities for even reading extracurricular books. With all this reading, I need bookmarks. Recently, I discovered a secret hoard of free bookmarks, so I am going to pass on my knowledge to the rest of the world.
The first thing to do is go to your local WALMART, HomeDepot, or other hardware-ish store. Then, locate the paint aisle. You will find a rainbow of colorful paint sample cards:
Guess what? They're free. Yes. And perfectly bookmark shaped. And they're colorful. What more could you want?
Here are some of my new free bookmarks:
I like to coordinate the names of the colors with the kind of book I am reading. Like the card of "Saddlebury, Mushroom Taupe, Eagle's Peak and Oil Lamp" might make a good mark for a colonial times book. "Summer Rye, Honey, February Gold and Rich Amber" might go for a western/prairie/farmer book. "Arbor Walk, Irish Meadow, Shamrock and Cat's Eye Green" would be terrific for a romantic mystery novel set in Ireland.
You know you want to get some now. :]
