Hi guys!

Today, I’m going to be showing you how to make 3 DIY holiday themed bookmarks!

You’ll need:

Scissors

Tape

A Pen (any colour)

Any Colored Construction Paper

Before you start, you’ll want to cut your construction paper into 1-1 1/2 inch strips, these will be the base of your bookmark.

The first bookmark I will show you how to make is the CandyCane!

First of all, you will need either a white bookmark and a red bookmark, or a pink bookmark and a cream bookmark.

First, you will need to create diagonal dashes on your pink or red bookmark, this is where you will cut your stripes to make the pink/red part of the candycane.

Next, you will need to cut these diagonal lines, to make small strips of paper.

Then, you will need to organize on your cream/white colored bookmark, where you will put the stripes on your book to make the candycane.

After this, tape your stripes neatly onto the base of the bookmark.

As you can see, the sides will be uneven, so neatly trim them off.

Lastly, decorate your candy cane! I put “Happy Holidays!” on the cream parts!

Now you’re all done with the first bookmark!

Next, we are going to make the Let it Snow Bookmark!

To make this, you are going to need Blue and White/Cream colored bookmarks.

First you will need to draw different size circles on the white/cream book mark.

Next, you will need to cut out the circles from the cream/white bookmark.

Lastly, place the circles on the tops and bottoms of the book mark and write the saying “Let it Snow” on the bookmark! Now you’re done!

For the last bookmark, we will make be making a Stain Glass Window bookmark!

You will need the purple and green colored bookmarks.

First, take the green bookmark and make a triangle pattern so that each triangle in laying next to eachother. Every other triangle should be facing up and every other facing down.

Next cut the triangles out of the paper, here is one side,

here is it fully cut out,

Then tape that to the purple bookmark, and you are done!

Now you have 3 BEAUTIFUL bookmarks!

I hope you guys enjoyed these bookmarks! I spent a ton of time getting this together, so I hope you liked it!

If you make any of these bookmarks, please use the hashtag #readingreadingreadingholidays!

Hi Everyone!

Today I will be doing my third quick thought! This one relates to the holidays, when buying books for picky readers!

For any age group, you’ll want to pick a book that is popular for picky readers. This way, they will have people to talk with and hype up the book for them!

I would also get books based on what type of shows/movies they watch! If they like shows about mystery’s, then buy them a mystery type book!

Also make sure that they are age appropriate! Sometimes, a child will not like to read simply because the books they are reading now are to hard or to simple/easy.

Those are all of my tips for buying books for picky readers of ANY age!

OK, so, where do I begin.

I just saw this trailer about in hour ago, and now I believe that I can put my thoughts into words.

First off, I LOVE this trailer! It’s action packed and shows that an AWESOME movie is upon us! I love “Tris’s” short hair! I think it blends into the story very well!

I also love the intense music in the background, especially the part where Caleb talks at the beginning.

Watching this trailer really makes me want to re-read Insurgent!

What were your thoughts on the Insurgent Trailer? Tell me below!

Good Night Book Worms!

Today I chose to walk home instead of taking the bus. “Why are we walking today? I’m so hungry!” wined David. “I think it would be better to get some fresh air, before we hear what’s going on at home.” I say. “Why? What’s going on?” Sometimes I forget that David’s only 4, and does not know the current events.
“Nothing, just the usual.” I reply calmly, so David does not make any more speculations. As we are walking, I remember that there is a bakery down the street that’s good, and lucky for me, cheap. “Hey, want to go to the Bakery down the street?” I ask David. More time spent away from home. “YES!” screams and shrieks David. At least someone is happy.
While walking I spot a police car very close to the bakery. “This doesn’t look good.” David whispers. I grasp on to his hand, and slowly we walk close to the bakery.
“What’s going on?” I ask the police officer. “This was the last place Smool went before getting sick, in hospital. If you’re planning on getting in, make your way home.” We do as we are asked. “Maybe tomorrow we can make cookies at home.” I tell David. “Okay.” David replies, unenthusiastically.
I wish there was one place where I could go to avoid going home.
