Recycled Bookmarks

I LOVE bookmarks. I collect them and put them in my desk to collect a little dust, but it still doesn't stop me. I enjoy reading various amounts of books. Something in my cookbooks, a reference book but don't want to lose the page.

Anyways, I thought of the admission tickets I get on trips. They come in bookmark sized papers, and on a heavy cardstock. To keep it longer you might want to try laminating it. (Note to self: Find eco friendly laminating alternatives). Now you have a nice bookmark.

You could give them as gifts to those who went with you to the event. Take their ticket when you are there and laminate it, and then give it back to the book lover in mind.

I tend to use all sorts of things as book marks though. Sometimes if you want to remember something specific about a certain page in a refernce book- sticky notes work well, YOu can write on the sticky note "great recipe, but use onions instead of mushrooms" and move on. :)
