Lots 'O Bookmarks . . .

My Stampin' Up! 5th Anniversary celebration was a blast! Thanks to all of you who stopped by my open house to help me celebrate!!!

Also thanks to you, much of my retired stash is now depleted. I will be posting a list of remaining retired items within the next couple of weeks, along with prices. So you'll still be able to take advantage of those great prices if there was something you missed . . . or if you weren't able to make it to the party.

We made three bookmarks for make & takes -- TOTALLY easy and fun! Here are the photos, materials lists, and directions:
