There are about 40 people whom I now work with...we are part of Credit Canada Debt Solutions based in Toronto as my old place amalgamated with Toronto last November. I have to say it has been great and I truly feel I am listened to more and feel more worthy than from my former boss who just didn't care. There are many who work for Toronto that I have yet to meet because we are all over Ontario but that doesn't mean I have not met them through our virtual meetings. I am actually on the Social Committee because, every agency and company have committees. The one gal, who is the head of this committee, Becky, has worked with me since 1997 (I started in 1991) and we had a budget to send a gift parcel to each person. The Dollar Store was a great place to find some fun stuff and I made book marks.
This is part one and I won't go into all the details but I did create all the backgrounds, I used my rubberstamps, dye ink pads, embossing powders, glitter, watercolour crayons, pencils, stencils and, with the African bookmark, I drew that one. I had so much fun creating these and hope you like them.
Beautiful bookmarks!
ReplyDeleteThose are great. Card making is not your only talent ;)
ReplyDeleteHi, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteYessum, indeed I do like these colorful bookmarks, dear friend! I especially admire the ones with depictions of animals. The African scene you drew is astounding. The words "imagine" and "believe" are powerful and hold special meaning for me. These are marvelous, BB. Thanks for playing show & tell, dear friend!
Those are lovely! Great idea for a personal gift.
ReplyDeleteThese are really fun! And what a great idea. You made some fantastic bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteThese look great!
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing. Those people are getting a priceless gift.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely beautiful. I buy bookmarks when I travel and often give them as gifts. Of course, I still read real books. Kinda hard to use on my Kindle, lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bookmarks, Birgit! ♥ Many of us still prefer real books to ebooks, so these are ideal gifts. Glad to hear your work situation has improved as well. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Love the sentiment expressed about travelling!
DeleteHello Birgit, I'm so pleased to hear that you now enjoy your work, there is nothing worse than being unhappy in your job situation, believe me I know as I had been ill with depression three times in the 16 years I worked for my last organisation, which Ironically was a mental health charity..just goes to show.
ReplyDeleteYour bookmarks are absolutely gorgeous, so many different images and designs, I'm sure all the recipients will love them, Kate x
These look good Birgit, why don't you try selling them on amazon? You could start yourself a handy enterprise.
ReplyDeleteThose bookmarks are not just beautiful, but the purrfect gifts.
ReplyDeleteI love these - very pretty, especially the one with the elephant and giraffe. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIf you're running the social committee, your colleagues are in for an ongoing party.
Cheers to you, Birgit.
Those are sure very well done indeed. Awesome. Great when you are listened to as well and don't have a dink for a boss.
