Didn't spend much time with them really. I need to remember that every time I go somewhere. As much as I 'want' to use them, I probably won't. I did manage to collage 3 postcards and draw 3 postcards for family. I sent them from St. Pete so hopefully my fam gets them soon. The collaged cards use scraps, paint, stamps, images from brochures from our trip and ladies from <a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.alteredpages.com/">Altered Pages</a> collage sheets. The sketched cards were fun to do, although drawing isn't my thing. I found images of a boat, beach chair and lighthouse and sketched them. I cut the postcards to shape before I left, glued a Florida map piece on each and rubbed Antique Linen Ink pad all over to age them. The last day we were there we had a bit of time before we checked out. DD decided to make a note for the maid, to put our tip in. I sat down with her and my supplies and drew the postcards you see below. DD also picked some flowers off a bush to give to the maid. I thought it was a pretty sweet thing. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpVsjP4EI/AAAAAAAADIE/d7qvRYMQP20/s1600-h/P7130386.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpVsjP4EI/AAAAAAAADIE/d7qvRYMQP20/s320/P7130386.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224783970416189506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIoxcT6rII/AAAAAAAADH8/82luvh5iI14/s1600-h/P7140459.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIoxcT6rII/AAAAAAAADH8/82luvh5iI14/s320/P7140459.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224783347581627522" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpV3m_aDI/AAAAAAAADIM/L91bjjY38eM/s1600-h/P7140453.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpV3m_aDI/AAAAAAAADIM/L91bjjY38eM/s320/P7140453.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224783973384677426" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpV1yKbfI/AAAAAAAADIc/MrfkWF_cTV4/s1600-h/P7140462.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIpV1yKbfI/AAAAAAAADIc/MrfkWF_cTV4/s320/P7140462.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224783972894666226" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvnvPNC3I/AAAAAAAADJk/85hP8y5zkQ8/s1600-h/P7140461-copy-6.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvnvPNC3I/AAAAAAAADJk/85hP8y5zkQ8/s320/P7140461-copy-6.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790877444836210" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUAkrthI/AAAAAAAADI8/iHy24JooVDc/s1600-h/P7140461+copy+4.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUAkrthI/AAAAAAAADI8/iHy24JooVDc/s320/P7140461+copy+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790538500945426" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUbLPqFI/AAAAAAAADJE/9JVdVVIqiys/s1600-h/P7140461+copy+5.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUbLPqFI/AAAAAAAADJE/9JVdVVIqiys/s320/P7140461+copy+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790545642006610" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUW6em9I/AAAAAAAADJM/EDn8dWCbtVs/s1600-h/P7140461+copy.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUW6em9I/AAAAAAAADJM/EDn8dWCbtVs/s320/P7140461+copy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790544497941458" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUjYlQFI/AAAAAAAADJU/rF_G-bGD8oo/s1600-h/P7140461+copy+2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUjYlQFI/AAAAAAAADJU/rF_G-bGD8oo/s320/P7140461+copy+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790547845431378" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUsCY7NI/AAAAAAAADJc/20nbaYB0SSk/s1600-h/P7140461+copy+3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ZW1V6PIRfH4/SIIvUsCY7NI/AAAAAAAADJc/20nbaYB0SSk/s320/P7140461+copy+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224790550168267986" border="0" /></a>Contessa Krishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01051680985869300132noreply@blogger.com
