The River Crossing Bookmark was inspired by my love of water and the peaceful serenity of being surrounded by it. The textured design reminds me of a boardwalk through a beautiful water garden or a bridge with water on either side of it.

River Crossing Bookmark is a fun textured decoration to mark your place in your favorite book. It is a fun and easy bookmark that can be made in any color or multiple colors and is perfect for vendor markets. These are also perfect for back to school, teacher gifts, birthday or holiday gifts, to just spoil a book lover in your life, and so much more.
