As I'm currently drowning in study, I decided to take a break to tell you all about an event planning assignment I'm working on. I planned a monthly PageBound book club to discuss the quests and meet other Boundlings at my local library.

As a part of the assignment I had to design promotional material. I chose to do a printed bookmark that would be slipped into the books that were a part of that season's quest line for customers to discover as they checked out books and I thought I'd share them in the comments just for fun!

I really leaned into the whole adventure and summer vibe for the upcoming season and accidentally matched the new badge which I hadn't even seen until a few moments ago. Disclaimer: I'm not a graphic designer, just a girl who enjoys being creative and spent a STUPID amount of time in Canva messing around. Coincidentally, the day I learned you can be doing your work AND procrastinating at the same time. Who knew?

The event was planned to be on the first of each month for a whole year and included fun things like a passport that you get stamped each time you come for the chance to win a year of Royalty at the year's end and a monthly giveaway of 3 months of Royalty as a lucky door prize for all who attend.

Anyhow, I better get back to it.

If you made it this far, I'd really appreciate some fun comments to come back to.

So, what project are you currently working on? Study? Work? Something super fun and creative so I can sob into my keyboard as my jealousy consumes me?

Note: I did seek permission from the PageBound Team to use their logo's for this.

P.S: If you saw me try and post this yesterday and delete it twice because I couldn't get the images to work? No, you didn't.

Idk if it was just me but the story Seed Children just gave me a weird vibe. I think it was the close association to star children, which stems from racist pseudoscience. The plot is good but i think using different vocabulary would have been better.

I've long felt that loneliness is rampant, and I think it's hard for people to detect in others and also to identify within themselves. I think the pandemic's isolation made people have to confront themselves more, and realize how much we desire companionship and the nearness of others. I feel there was such a push over last... few decades to promote independence, self-sufficiency, drive, climbing of social and corporate ladders, girl bossification, etc. I think there are A LOT of people who have a very small group of friends or people around them, and who long for more connection and interaction.
