Oh, I'm Jealous
Isn't that just a gorgous picture? Can you see why I'm jealous? I'd love to go on a Caribbean vacation. They should have taken me! Me, I tell you!
Really, I can't complain. At least my mother in law took enough pictures for me to scrap. Last night, my mother in law and sister in law showed up, looking all tanned, for supper. We had fun. They showed us their pictures, and my mother in law actually left them here. I think that she was hinting at me getting some layouts done for her book. She bought a gorgous scrapbook in Jamaica- the covers are covered with dried cocoa pods, it's fastened together with natural fibers, and it has an airbrushed beach scene on the front (note to self: take pictures of this album). She saved everything that she could- from the beads that were in sil's hair when she had it braided, to shells, to their luggage tags (with a really cool Homeland Security sticker on them), to Jamaican money. She has a ton of sunset pictures (I feel a Jamaican themed page kit coming on). She also took pictures like a scrapbooker does- you know, pictures of everything. I've trained her well.
Sooo- I'm off to see what I can do with the pictures that she gave to me (five CDs full of pictures!).
eta: I did get more than a picture. My mother in law bought me this gorgeous door hanging thingy that, according to their culture, is supposed to keep evil out of the house. Really pretty- it's a sun and a moon, with stars, in red (symbolizes blood), green (symbolizes grass), yellow (symbolizes the sun), and black (symbolizes the Jamaican people).
