Day 100: Secret Garden Butterfly Bookmarks

i love "the secret garden" book.  the first time i tried to read "the secret garden" was for a book report in third grade.  i liked the book, but it was too long for me to finish in the time frame given.  i ended up writing the report without finishing the book, so i didn't get a very good grade (as you would expect).  then i had to start the next book, so i could get a better grade on my next book report.  so, i never finished "the secret garden."

finally, a few months ago, i got a new iPhone that has the Kindle app.  i downloaded "the secret garden" for free from Amazon and read it in a couple of weeks.  i'm so glad i got to finish the book after over 20 years! :)  it's a wonderful book full of forgiveness, hope, and love.  if you haven't read it, i highly recommend it.

while i was reading the book, i came across a swap in one of my Swap-bot groups with a secret garden theme, so i just had to join!  basically, we make a seed packet for each of our three partners, write a note about our relationship with the book, and enclose a small flat gift.

i made these little bookmarks for the Swap-bot swap, "A Bit of Earth – Secret Garden seed packets" in The Hundred Acre Woods group. 



these are the seed packets i made and sent too. the paper was so pretty, i didn't want to add anything to make it tacky.



they're so springy! i love it!
