Flip Flops & Hawaii

Flip flops and Hawaii go together like peanut butter and jelly.

While thinking (okay, fantasizing) about an upcoming trip to Hawaii, I saw this bookmark. Perfectly themed for laying on the beach and reading a great book.

My Sister's Great Idea has contributed one of their great boxes with a fabulous bookmark hiding inside for our monthly giveaway.
