Magnetic bookmarks
It was several years ago when I had the idea of making some magnetic bookmarks for a talent event at my church. It seemed the perfect choice for me- it used my IT skills and was related to my favourite activity (reading).
Later on, I was looking for some small crafts that I could sell and thought about this as a good activity to resurrect. They seem to be quite popular- pocket-money gifts that are practical (they don't fall out of your book like normal bookmarks).
At Christmas I decided to make a couple of my designs musical as well- my favourite was a cornet player with a red festive background. I was planning to show you some pictures, but as the computer they're on has decided to defunc, they'll have to wait.
You can win one of my homemade magnetic bookmarks (along with other great prizes) by entering the 'Music Through the Pages' giveaway. Don't worry if you don't win this time though, they'll be plenty of opportunities later on. I'm also considering giving some away at the next BookCrossing UnCon, so if you're there you might just get one for free.
