Share the Love: Projects You'll Love to Give | Mari Bolte
29 posts
This is more than a book of craft projects--this is a book of inspiration! Instructions for finished projects print hand-in-hand with open-ended ideas that kids can use to make each craft fully customizable. With a focus on making gifts to give, each activity uses easy-to-find supplies, and will be a great at-home tool or a staple for the librarian's maker space.

I popped in an #audiobook and got a LOT done today ie. Projects that I've been putting off for more than a year. I'm hoping to end the year on a high note!

One more post. This one goes out to two of my favourite ladies in Litsy Land. I've met a lot of amazing individuals through #LMPBC but from the beginning, @Andrea4 and @BookishTrish you guys have definitely made the most interesting book club ever! From your book picks to your incredible honest comments, I've had a blast getting to know you both over the years and look forward to more to come. Fucking love you guys! 😘

#SharetheLove

BookishTrish Fucking love you both as well! 4y
Andrea4 Fucking love you guys too! I've had some major life changes in past couple years and I've gathered support from afar, from two beautiful souled "strangers"- can't wait for more book clubs and maybe just maybe one day meeting up! 4y

Oh boy! There are so many people that bring a smile to my face on a daily basis, but I have to make a point of specifically mentioning @StayCurious for being the best cohost a girl could ask for! Thank you for putting up with all my craziness while planning. And a HUGE shoutout to @Andrew65 who not only hosts 2 sometimes 3 readathons EVERY SINGLE MONTH, but also somehow finds the time to comment and cheer on every single participating post! ♥️

Andrew65 Thanks, I love that I bring a snail to your face 🤣 Don‘t you love autocorrect! ! Thank you for someone who gives such a terrific amount of time to Litsy that means a lot. Like you it is my second family too. You‘re my inspiration 🥰🥰🥰🥰 (edited) 4y

For the October #LitsyLove2020Challenge, I‘m sending this crazy card I found in my stationery stash to someone who needs a smile. This card should certainly do the trick! 😆

So this is not very book related but we are all full of love so why not share it and send a E card to st Jude's hospital for one of the many patients I have done it for 4 children.
It's free and cost nothing to share the love 💖

Thanks for your #LitsyLove19 giveaway, @LazyDays ! I love reading for the different worlds it opens up to me - both as a journey and, when needed, an escape. You can travel the world or travel time, jump to a different universe or across the street, do something new or learn more about something you already know about.

What a great idea for a giveaway @LazyDays ! I love reading because I love imagining life from a different perspective ❤️ It is easy for me to picture what is happening and how I would feel in that situation. I get to live vicariously through other stories in a way 😋 #litsylove19

Oh gosh! What makes reading special? As a kid, reading & writing were my escape. But as an adult, reading brings me peace & I love running a reading series where I get to bring in all kinds of writers to share their work & be in community with. Reading is an unbelievable joy in my life & I can‘t believe I get to do it as a job now ❤️❤️❤️📚📚📚

Thank you to @LazyDays for this generous #giveaway Congrats on your first year of Litsy! I‘ve been a member for 4 months & I‘m very grateful for this wonderful community. I‘ve been a reader since literally before I can remember & it has meant different things to me at different points in my life. Right now I love reading because I suffer from CFS & reading is a how I travel to new places & meet new people when I‘m stuck in bed. #LitsyLove19

Thanks for the giveaway @LazyDays ! I love Litsy and I have been here almost a year now. #LitsyLove19

I love reading because I can live another life or 10. I get to learn new and interesting things. I learned how to put my hair in a bun because of Tuck Everlasting the book not the movie!

Congrats @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks on your awesome milestone!!! You so deserve it! 😘 #1) The Kitchen House was one that I absolutely loved in the past year and gave me lots of feels #2) I love all the kind people I have met here that have quickly become dear friends I wouldn‘t trade for the world!

2) Dear #LitsyFam, you're the best. You're here if someone needs a hug or a laugh. There's #NoShame about anything. And so many pet pictures. Yes, I even love that I have to have a book budget now.

I just realized that this is the first time I have actually READ an admin email and contributed in an app developmental discussion - and I see so many of you engaging, too! I am just as anxious as anyone about the changes to come, but I just wanted to give a quick shout-out to all of you fellow lovely Littens: it is YOU (yes, you!) that make this community such a special place. Whatever happens, #WeAreLitsy! ❤️

Suet624 💕💕💕💕 7y
pppooraikul You‘re absolutely right! I‘ve never had much concern about who owns an app before. And I feel very hopeful to see @TimSpalding puts so much effort and attention to what we Littens think. 😊 7y
LauraBeth I didn‘t get one so I‘ve realized I‘m not a “power user” of Litsy. 😔 7y
See All 14 Comments
Heideschrampf @LauraBeth really? Have you checked the spam folder maybe? I can't imagine them not sending it to literally everyone!? 7y
emilyhaldi @LauraBeth I didn't get one either and was curious about that..how do they choose who to send it to i wonder 🤔 7y
ReadingSusan @emilyhaldi I am sure they just sent it to whatever email they had in their database. I can‘t remember if you had to sign up via email or not. 7y
LauraBeth Nah @Heideschrampf and @emilyhaldi - I didn‘t get one but not going to worry about it. I‘ve noticed that I‘m never tagged whenever there‘s a big communal tag post so maybe people are tired of me posting pics of my dog 😂 7y
saresmoore @LauraBeth NEVER!!! We love Bitsy! 7y
Mdargusch Me too @LauraBeth - maybe it‘s my animal posts too. However I did get the email @emilyhaldi 🤔 7y
Lcsmcat @emilyhaldi @LauraBeth Mine was in my spam folder. I think they emailed everyone because I don‘t consider myself a power user! 7y
LeahBergen @LauraBeth I need my regular “Bitsy fix”! 😂 7y
LauraBeth @saresmoore, @Mdargusch, @emilyhaldi, @Lcsmcat, @LeahBergen, @Heideschrampf Bitsy said and I quote: “Y‘all will all be fine - stop worrying about it and don‘t stop posting my fat arse. You can stop with gray cat though.” 😽 7y
Lcsmcat @LauraBeth 😹 We need gray cat too! 7y
