After printing the templates on cardstock, we cut the bookmarks out.

Please consider expanding your reading or at least an area of reading to include those of us who can’t read as much. I would like it if you posted articles, editorials, blog posts – I could send you a few ( : and then we could all read the articles and review and post comments with our thoughts. This would cover some important aspects: A. Involves reading B. Appeals to a larger crowd C. Be more fun for me, duh
Thank you for your helpful suggestions. I will take them into consideration. If you have any further ideas or suggestions for blog content, please feel free to email me at: pathologicallyliterate (at) gmail (dot) com.
