I apologize for the delay, but you’ll soon see that there are a huge number of bookmark related links this week. I got a bit behind sorting through them all. I’m not sure why this week was so bookmark focused. Perhaps Spring is a season for crafts – the Hand Made section is particularly large and has exceptionally lovely work.
Anyway, here is this week’s worth of bookmark related links that I’ve found, from April 25 through May 1.
Enjoy!
