If you’ve been following the Dog Days of Summer, you’ll be very familiar with the fact that themed bookmarks are among the prizes. Well, I thought I would reveal these bookmarks so that you can see what you might be winning. I had a lot of fun with the dog stamps that the Easter Bunny gave Emma for Easter and here is what I came up with. The finishing touch, in my opinion, are the doggy paw punches in the corners. They really make the bookmarks for me. I hope that you like them (please note that this picture doesn’t really do them justice and they will be laminated before I send them out.
So, how can you win one of these bookmarks? Oh, let me count the ways:
1) Leave a comment on one of my Dog Days of Summer posts. You’ll get one entry per comment. That’s pretty easy, right? There are other prizes as well (grand prize: my copies of each of the Dog Days of Summer books I’ve reviewed and second prize: a copy of Marley & Me by John Grogan). The third through twelfth winners all get a bookmark! Here are the eligible posts to date:
Dog Days of Summer Welcome Post

My review of The Dogs of Babel
Any of the posts where I highlight a participating blogger’s review
My review of Secrets of Happiness
Tomorrow’s review of The Art of Racing in the Rain
… and this post, of course!
2) Leave a comment on the review posts by any of my participating blogger friends. Comment on one, two, or all. You’ll get one entry per comment. Not only will that earn you a chance to win a bookmark, but a copy of Alex & Me by Dr. Irene Pepperberg. Need a list of posts?

I hope you’ve been having as much fun with the Dog Days of Summer week as I have!
Jennifer, you have the greatest bookmark ideas! You are so original – and I agree, the paw punches make the bookmarks! So, these must really be stunners if the picture doesn’t do them justice, because they look fabulous in the picture! And that dog stamp is too cute!
The bookmark is just precious! You continue to outdo yourself!
That is totally cute!! You are so talented!
Wow! That’s a lovely bookmark.. I like those cute Doggy Paws on the sides
Jennifer, that bookmark is so gorgeous and I love the pattern and the paw print punch outs. Fantastic. Now I really want to win one of these bookmarks.
I hope you are signing these or stamping them in some way! Gorgeous.
What a gorgeous bookmark! You’re so talented, I’m really impressed. I love the two that I won from you already and use them all the time, so I’m definitely crossing my fingers for this one.
The bookmark is really cute! Thanks for setting up the dog days it was fun.
