I wasn't sure then how long this will last, but this here is my 100th post. A milestone!
To mark this occasion, here is a modest little give-away. Having been bitten by the bookmark bug (see my previous post), I have been making some more bookmarks, painting the designs on paper. Since they are a little flimsy, I thought I would get them printed on better paper, and laminated as well.
I know most of you are avid readers. So if you would like to have this set of three bookmarks, leave me a comment. I will pick three names at random about 10 days from now, and mail these out to those three of you.
Before I show you my bookmarks, here are some from my collection, along with some of my favourite books.
Can you read that? This and the next bookmark are Ilan Shamir's words. Check out more about him here. This one says:
Advice from a Bat
Trust in your Senses
Spend Time just Hanging around with Friends
Get a Grip
Enjoy the Nightlife
Sometimes you've just gotta Wing it
Guano Happens!
This one says:Advice from a Bear
Live Large
Climb beyond your Limitations
When life gets hairy, Grin and Bear it
Eat Well
Live with the Seasons
Take a Good, Long Nap
Look after your Honey!
This third one was a present from a friend who visited South Africa and wanted to get me something small. I thought it was a very thoughtful gift. Such a simple idea, no?
Now, here are my three bookmarks. Remember - if you leave a comment, you are at risk of being picked to get these in the mail. :)
This past year of blogging has been fun. Through this medium I have found some of your incredibly creative blogs that I find so inspiring. Keep creating, and keep posting!

I also love your bookmark and would be so pleased to have one on my reading porch gracing my books.
It doesn't surprise me that Three Cups of Tea is one of your favorite books. I would love to be entered for the drawing.
Bookmarks made by you are very pretty. Vibrant colors & cool designs.
In fact I clicked them to see the intricacies.
Also, congratulations on your century.
Can't believe its your 100th post. Keep them coming ! I see you are reading three cups of tea, how is it. That's next on my reading list.
Please keep on blogging, you have taken me to places I will never travel to. You have shown me beautiful things and written wise words.

Congratulations on the 100 posts, Bindu! I have been blogging for about 3 months, and dont know if I will reach the year...we shall see!
Your book marks are gorgeous, like your entries and your subjects, and your photographs, and the musicians I have learned from you.
The word 'bookmarks' made me come to this post instantly (via megha's blog). and i'm so delighted to see such a lovely collection. I have some 15+ bookmarks from various places and plan to do a post on it soon. And i think i'll make 2 more bookmarks, inspired by the text of bear n bat :)
Congrats on having completed 100 posts!
the bookmarks are all wonderful. I've been collecting them from my public library to send to a blog buddy in new zealand. but none are as good as yours! I'd love a set! thanks lyle
