Book Mark

Poster: Tater

This week's TSC was to create something that gave us joy and pleasure from our childhood. I enjoyed so many different things from all water sports, baseball, shooting marbles, bycing, rollerskating, movies and so much more. As I pondered what I could make I remembered one thing I did then and still do now and enjoy just as much if not more and that is reading. Most of you know that a great deal of my time is being a care giver for my Mom. I assist the Activities Director by doing arts and craft workshops at my Mom's Assisted Living facility. When I saw this project on Splitcoast and Pinterest I thought it would be perfect to teach in one of these workshops. So for my entry to this week's TSC, I present a bookmark made using paint chip card made by my Mom. She asks me each day when I see her, am I still using the bookmark she made for me? My reply, always till the day I die Momma.

What a fabulous bookmark and awesome memories of mom wanting to please her girl with this beauty. She did a great job on it. Love the color almost as much as Tater Pink.

How precious Tater. It is a lot of work looking after residents and especially ones mom. My MIL just got into a home now. It is so sweet that she made this for you and you taught the rest how to as well. That bookmarks will see many lovely pages...:0). I think its cool too that you used a paint chip...super idea as they have so many pretty sading colors...TFs...:0)

Oh Tater how precious this is. This is something you will always treasure. I love that your Mom made it for her little girl. Please tell her how we all loved it. Hey have you brainwashed her? Cuz I don't see no Tater pink anywhere!!
