Beaded Bungee Bookmarks that Stay on Your Book as You Read
November 26th, 2007
Hey there! Here’s one for the book lovers and for those who have friends or relatives who are book lovers. I don’t know about y’all; but, I have a ton of the standard paper bookmarks and I continually lose them because I take them out of the book while I’m reading (or I stick them somewhere else in the book and they fall out). I read a ton of books and magazines (they work on magazines also!); so, these are definitely on my want list! Well, here is one clever woman who unleashed her imagination and created a bookmark sure to please the avid book reader. The company is Beaded Bungee Bookmark and it’s comprised of 2 sisters. Carol Amos is one of the sisters and I’m gonna let her tell the Beaded Bungee story below. Make sure to read to the end of the article ’cause there’s a chance to get 5 free bookmarks! Happy reading and bookmarking!
Once upon a time, Kathy Getto was reading and using a rubber band for her bookmark. She was living in the dry Nevada desert at the time, and the rubber band snapped. She really liked using the rubber band because she reads a lot in bed and the rubber band kept her place as she drifted off night after night. Frustrated with yet another rubber band dangerously snapping off and risking her life and limb not to mention her eye, Kathy invented her first Beaded Bungee Bookmark. The elastic adjustable frame works much the same way as the rubber band did but can be adjusted to fit hardbound and paperback books. And she attached beads and a charm to make the elastic frame pretty. What book doesn’t want a pretty charm and beads adorning it?
After seeing how cool and clever these bookmarks are, Kathy’s much younger twin sister Carol wanted in on the action. So, the twins who once job-shared for a school district are partners again in Beaded Bungee Bookmarks. They are best friends and having a blast.
Avid readers love them because the bookmarks stay on their book as they read. Kept on the left side of the book, the bookmark doesn’t interfere with reading and the reader can easily slip just-read pages under the bookmark. Each bookmark is handmade in Idaho or Nevada with products purchased in the USA.
Currently, Beaded Bungee Bookmarks are only available from independent bookstores or giftware shops across the country. If Beaded Bungee Bookmarks aren’t at your favorite bookstore or giftshop, please contact Kathy or Carol by clicking the “Send email” link on www.BeadedBungeeBookmark.com. If the store you recommend places an order, you will receive 5 free bookmarks!
Beaded Bungee Bookmarks also has fundraising programs available for schools and other organizations. The bookmarks can be custom created with your special colors and charms.
