Photo of Signed Bookmarks:









Note from Roshini: The photo really does not do the bookmarks ANY justice! These things are utterly gorgeous! I have literally had to hide them from my whole family after they begged me for them! The butterfly charms at the end are incredible and the whole bookmark itself is just plain beautiful! Don't miss this chance! P.S. Ignore my laptop in the background...couldn't find any other place to set off the bookmarks' pretty lavender color. Also, for the non-writers out there, I still have a couple more bookmarks from Jessie to go into the grand prize!
