Kareni Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hello there, I am hoping that you might be able to grant me a favor. I've been making bookmarks over the past year. (See here for the latest batch.) I would like to make a Shirley Bassey themed bookmark for a friend, and I've learned that Shirley Bassey stamps were recently released in the UK. I would appreciate it if you could send two or three stamps, a postcard, or a first day envelope for me to use. The stamps need not be new; cancelled would be fine. In return, I would be happy to make a bookmark featuring your interests. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t have them, I'll need to order some online. For my own - perhaps on one side a photo I will send you plus a chocolate chip cookie and a sprig of rosemary. On the other side, another photo, a jay bird and a sprig of laurel? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Thank you for your efforts on my behalf! You've definitely piqued my interest, and I will be happy to work on your bookmark. My one concern is that I've never laminated a photo, @Laura Corin, at the copy shop to which I take my bookmarks. I was told that some items do not laminate well. For example, many modern cash register receipts simply turn black which is something I would not have anticipated. I may stop in and ask some questions.

Regards, Kareni Hi, Kareni. I've received the stamps and am putting three Shirley Bassey stamps into the post for you. I will also send a couple of Scotland stamps - one flag, one thistle. For my book mark, would this work? On one side a sprig of rosemary and a chocolate chip cookie with a Scottish and a US stamp; on the other side a laurel leaf/sprig and a jay with a Scottish and a US stamp. No text/quotations, thank you. The symbols represent our family and our national affiliations. Thanks! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 Thank you, @Laura Corin! Yes, I would think your plan would work well. Since I use old library date due cards for my bookmarks, give some thought as to what you might like for your book's title, author name, and call number. You might wish to send that information in a personal message if it's private. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the 8.5x11 sheets but I'm having trouble finding a link. Avery Laminate Sheets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
