Our book club always exchanges a gently read book at our December meeting. I have already wrapped my book, but I am going to unwrap it and redo it in your style. Thank you for your great ideas. I also like the idea of giving books in January when the pressure is off and the weather makes my want to stay inside....and read. I am going to be looking for more of your blogs. Bring myself up to date. <br /><br />thanks so much, SusanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676908674499551376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-46076965777736865412011-07-12T00:02:45.492-04:002011-07-12T00:02:45.492-04:00oh!! absolutely loved the idea..oh!! absolutely loved the idea..ketakihttp://ode-2-tap.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-37703120253023497122011-04-15T15:03:52.693-04:002011-04-15T15:03:52.693-04:00I know I responded last year when you first posted...I know I responded last year when you first posted this... but I've been browsing and when I came across it again...

This year they had the prices on the backs which I couldn't remove. It never occurred to me to cover it with a stamp or sticker. What a wonderful idea! I also love the idea of including a bookplate. I'm afraid when I get really busy during the holidays, I tend to get a bit sloppy in certain areas.

I LOVE books, and I had to chuckle at your comment about your marriage vows....take me, take my books, their expense, and my nightly reading light....<br /><br />It would have fit perfectly in my own vows, only I didn't think of it. It seems hubby is totally resigned to the piles of books by my bed, beside bulging shelves, wherever there's an empty space...and the night light.... well, I don't think he'd sleep as well without it, it's become such a part of our lives!<br /><br />And yes, I love your book wrapping idea with the book quote for a tag............ This is a keeper for me!<br /><br />Thanks.......

Like Mandy said, the covers themselves are works of art. <br />Speaking of works of art - you did a brilliant wrap design for a book. I never would have thought to use Kraft paper, but you've created a lovely gift, and I'm definitely going to experiment with this even though I know it won't turn out as pretty as yours. <br />Happy wrapping!BonjourRomancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127856263588277808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574953613921369798.post-44545802657505355812010-01-07T19:02:03.982-05:002010-01-07T19:02:03.982-05:00I love your book giving ideas Sande....they bring ...I love your book giving ideas Sande....they bring new life to the whole idea of book giving.
