🎨📚 Look at these beautiful bookmarks!

We had such a fun afternoon painting, creating, and seeing everyone’s ideas come to life at our Watercolor Bookmark Workshop! No two bookmarks turned out the same, and we absolutely loved seeing all the creativity around the table.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today and helped us celebrate being back to reading! 💛

There’s something extra special about opening a book and finding a bookmark you made yourself waiting inside. 📖✨

A little love—and a wonderful new life! 💚

Plains to Pages received a generous donation from Good Samaritan today: a collapsible children’s picnic table!

Its first chapter looks like it was filled with fun, creativity, and plenty of colorful art. After some sanding and a fresh coat of paint, it is ready for its next adventure! We’ll be able to bring it along to pop-ups, community events, and hands-on activities for little learners. 🎨📚

We feel so fortunate to be part of a community that recognizes needs and supports nonprofits like ours. Thank you, Good Samaritan Society - Heritage Grove, for giving this well-loved table a new chapter with Plains to Pages! 💛
