As this bookmark ministry has been such a blessing to me, i have designed 7 more bookmarks and printed them to continue this ministry. Unfortunately, the commercial printer print job was not up to standard this time round, and i rejected 2 of the 7 designs I let them print. So, now I only printed 5000 (1000 of each design) below.

Swahili bookmarks - sheep and (clueless)clay designs

Swahili bookmarks with heart design

So far, I had already sent 1200 bookmarks to Rebecca in Tanzania, 700 bookmarks to Anne whose church is going to Tanzania in October and 900 bookmarks to Nancy whose church is going to Kenya in October.

Which means as of Feb 2010Jan 2010 Sep 09, I have 650 950 1950 bookmarks left! (5000-200 rejected for not good quality-50 distributed to members of my Shanghai bible study group, 1200 to Rebecca, 700 to Anne in US, 900 to Nancy in US, 1000 to Keith in US, 300 to Kimberley in Australia). Pray for me that these bookmarks will richly bless the recipients in Africa!

No doubt that worries of recession are at the back of my mind, but going into my 6th year of christian life, somehow I feel that it will be a year of change and therefore, a year to witness how God will work in my life.

I designed and printed this business card size calendar to give away. Yellow is the color of hope and this yellow is the Color of the Year. With this verse Psalm 31: 24 ‘Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.’, I will cross into 2009 with hope in a few hours time.

I printed 5000 copies of these calendars. 3,400 given to 2 Shanghai churches, 360 to 2 Singapore churches, 700+ to my colleagues, 240+ to my friends and have 100 left. Anyone who wish to spread hope with this calendar, do contact me.

My prayer that people who face changes in 2009 will hold fast to the hope that is in Jesus.

I printed a 1000 of each design, refer to my christian gift store for them.

About 700 have been given to my dear friend to bring to Africa while the rest are currently FREE for whoever has a desire to bless and reach out to people who read Swahili. As these bookmarks are completed with the blessing of God’s resources, I want to make good use of them and therefore require whoever who wants these bookmarks to let me know the purpose of having them (i.e. not for your own use or to keep in the drawer).

I am not sure how these bookmarks will bless anyone but pray and trust God that they will be!

This is from Pixo, who has a blog Random Graphical Thots.
Many smart and funny illustrations on the blog!

Came across this when reading Design Sponge; this is a card that can be bought from Etsy.

I felt that this design is also fitting for a bookmark… inspiration for me!

A print design and again, somehow I cannot access her site.

I cannot get into his site, but if you google Thomas Paul, you will find many of his home furnishings’ design for sale.

Princess Tina’s store has yet to open, but looking forward to it!
