For some odd reason I never seem to have bookmarks when I find that rare opportunity to jump into a novel. I'm always using those obnoxious insert cards that fall out of magazines all the time. Resourceful yes, but pretty, not exactly. This weekend I happen to be pondering over what to do with some leftover chysanthmum beads. I am a firm believer that when one encounters a creative rut you go picking! As creative peeps how many of us can deny that we own a pile of unused craft supplies that just sit around reminding us of all the moolah we've dumped into places like Michael's & Hobby Lobby? I find inspiration is often hiding in that pile & in some severe cases stray cats are too.
As luck would have it I came across some alphabet paper clips I had purchased years ago. Ding, ding, ding....I had an idea.
Chrysanthemum bookmarks!
I just used some jewelry metal glue & adhered the chrysanthemum beads to the top part of the paper clip.
Instant bookpage glamour.
Hope everyone had a delightful Super Bowl weekend!
Any favorite commercials?

Those are super cute! Great job!
As for the Super Bowl, I liked several commercials and I did like the halftime show. Except Nicki Minaj, who I cannot stand.
:)
And apparently I'm old and don't know the difference between Nicki Minaj and MIA. Who the heck is MIA?!?! Well, I can't stand either of them I believe. haha.
So cute Jen! I must admit that I haven't read a novel in ages! Probably not a good thing, but oh well! Haha! Superbowl was pretty good. I actually enjoyed the game more than the commercials or half time! And in my opinion, madonnas performance was pretty mediocre. They should just stick to rock bands! Lol!
love that idea!! so cute to use those flowers and it would make me use a book mark for sure rather than fold down the page. and my favorite commercials were any of the dog commercials especially the frenchie skechers commercial, i am so glad he replaced kim what was your favorite commercial jennifer?
Those are adorable! I never have bookmarks either and I find myself listening to more audiobooks than I do reading because I can do it while I am crafting!
These are so cute! I love using bookmarks because I hate dog-earing pages in my books!
As for Madonna's performance, I only saw a few minutes but I would have to say nay!
Such a great idea! And I love those turquoise chrysanthemum beads!! where did you find them?
I love to "shop" in my HUGE pile of unused supplies... I usually have forgotten I had most of them so it gives me a new shopping spree buzz...
Even better than going back Michael's because it's free!! ;D
The "Doritos" commercial with the great Dane was my favorite. It mad me laugh so hard!!
I kind of enjoyed the half time show... kinda.
Hope you had a great week-end back home with hubby and the puppies!

These are so cute! I"m always looking for ways to use up the things that I have. Great idea!
