I wasn't expecting much from a bookmark exchange, I really just joined because I have the annoying habit of sticking the nearest pen, hair elastic, sock, etc into whatever I was reading at the time. I figured I could class it up a bit by joining in this exchange.

My Santa knocked it completely out of the park! Not only did I get EIGHT bookmarks, but these are simply the coolest bookmarks I've ever used! 5 of the eight bookmarks have elastics attached that wrap around your book to hold it shut and keep the bookmark in place. These are perfect for chucking a book in your bag or luggage and keep the book safe from popping open and wrecking the pages. I LOVE it!

Mrs. Santa also threw in a homemade book mark which I absolutely love, owls are my favourite it's so beautifully well made!

My bookmarks came from Italy, much like my husbands family, so I had him translate them for me (with Google's help, he's a little rusty). Hahaha!

Thank you so much, these bookmarks are so wonderful and will get a lot of use. I'm currently reading 4 books so I have plenty of use for them! =D

Ciao Santa!

Edit: I was wrong about which one was handmade. Sorry Mrs. Santa
