• Bird of Paradise flower was our table decoration; stirrer & coaster from the resort drinks; sand & shells from the resort beach, vase (a gift from Jeff & Deb) filled with cancun sand, resort & tours wrist bands & liquor tour bottles.
• Sheran thought this is called "folk art". James & I did projects for his mom and my folks - mainly with pictures.
• I usually picked up items from our family trips and wanted to make displays, but time seemed to disappear before we had a chance. So it would be put aside and lost in my piles of things to do.
• I broke my ankle in Dec. and kept passing the items that were on the table and tried to figure out how to put together something. I kept reorganizing the shells and thinking. I finally finished it in April, 2008. I couldn't make a living out of doing projects since, I'm slow on all projects (baking, cake decorating, sewing, web pages...). I still don't know what I want to do or what I'll be able to do when I grow up (retire).
