My older sister is an avid reader and a many times published author. It is not unusual for her to be reading several books at a time. When I saw the beautiful collectable bookmarks from the U-Paint® Metal Crafts I knew they would make a perfect birthday gift for her. Deciding which ones to give to her was the hard part. Before sending them to her I thought it would be fun to do something “creative” with them.
