Very cool and very pretty stuff too!  Thanks.  Oh, and look who I found hanging out around there, our own Miss Emma!

Here is one of British Actress Ada Reeve. I'm
assuming everyone here needs all the bookmarks they
can get. These are four to a page, all alike. The
others are four different ones on a page.

Very cool, a Floradora girl!  Weird, the pic I posted earlier is gone and now there is just a little X in a box.  Where'd Emmer go?

Emmer is still there! Maybe your Frankenputer is bailing
out on you for Halloween.

Emmer has left the building! Must be Arborwood.

I don't think it's Arborwood.  I think it's Geo Cities.  Their stuff sometimes seems to have a time limit, I've noticed that before.

I'll try again:
BTW:  This is a ROCK.
This is cool, Kim!

I've never known anyone who painted rocks, but it says they
have rock painting clubs at yahoo, I didn't know it was that
popular!

I painted rocks in the 60's.  It was Flower Power!
These are exceptional!

Really?! Have you been thinking about it and I wanted bookmarks
all of a sudden and they were included on that website? Odd?

I've got one now!

I wonder if they are worth anything?

I painted rocks with flowers and if I remember correctly coated them with clear nail varnish.
Small rocks.

I forgot I did that (It WAS the late 60's you understand), only just now remembered.
Thanks for the memory.  It's been 36 years.

I still have a rock that I found in a creek when I was
twelve years old, it is sitting on my bookcase right now.
I can't throw it out, so there it sits, year after year,
it looks rather like a brain, that is why I still have it.
