Bookmarks ~ Laminated Dried Flowers and more.

Excellent Gifts !  " They look so professional !  They're worth every dime and every minute to make.  I want to give one to everyone I know" !!   -  Mary Lou Maloney ~ A very satisfied student. 
These are truly beautiful little creations.  They come together so sweetly, and are so professional looking !  Everyone raves at their creations !  What makes a better gift than a book and a home made bookmark?!  It means so much to know that you made them.  I ran about last summer looking for the perfect flowers to dry, and have found some beauties, just for this purpose.  Bookmarks are a trendy little item these days.  Have you noticed the multitude of designs and patterns out there...Well, these are exceptional and can be cherished for years to come.  We'll provide the laminating machine, laminating sleeves, dried flowers, papers, grommets and tassels or ribbons, and you'll make some gorgeous bookmarks.  Share with your book group, favorite teacher, librarian, voracious readers or anyone.
