Imitation stained glass bookmarks featuring a candle design, a crow design, a rose design, and a cat design. What better craft is there for a book lover than bookmarks? These imitation stained glass bookmarks are as pretty as they are functional. I designed the original three bookmarks around motifs from my Little White Flowers series while keeping them generic enough that you could add your own meaning. The rose is, of course, the core symbol of the series, and candles appea

Summer Reading Log Printable When I was a kid, I loved participating in library summer reading programs. My family went to two different libraries, which meant double the summer reading fun. While my current library does have an adult summer reading program, which is awesome, my siblings and I now live in different areas, so we can't all participate. Thus, I thought it would be fun to do a family summer reading challenge as well. I decided to share the idea here as well in ca
