Quick Quotes Cruise Book - next installment


Okey-Doke! Here's the next installment of the QQ book from our Caribbean cruise last Christmas. This is St. Thomas, which is one of the beautiful US Virgin Islands. It had been a pirate hang-out and we saw a steel drum demonstration.


A very pretty island because you climbed straight up from the ocean and had spectacular panoramic views of the harbor with it's fantastically blue, blue water. We walked from one end of the island to the other where there was a private harbor. We took a gondola to the top of one of the "mountains" and took an organized tour of plantation-style homes, too.

Quick Quotes Cruise Book

Here's the next stop -- Saint Martin or Sint Maarten, depending on whether you were on the French or Dutch half of the island. We went on a zip line adventure tour here -- we had to walk on ropes and little bridges suspended from trees. It was really fun!


There was a family ahead of us on the zip line tour that had a college age kid who was a gymnast. The mom was afraid of heights and the dad was a little overweight and out of shape. We saw them later that night in the dining room of the cruise ship and shared a laugh with them because the dad was really worn out but the kids were totally fine!!


When I showed this book at Show and Tell, my scrapbook friends said they used to love magic mesh and forget to use it. I love it, too -- it adds dimension and is just fun!
All the paper is from Quick Quotes -- I bought an extra kit just to have enough paper for the whole book. Awesome beach colors with the blues & oranges, I think.

Another page from QQ Cruise Book


Okay, tonight I'm trying to remember to crop the photo. I really need to get Photoshop but it is so darn expensive!!


Here's the next page in the Quick Quotes book I made of our Caribbean cruise at Christmas last year. Last page was Aruba, this is of Curacao -- I even bought a special alphabet from Quickutz just so I'd have a squiggly "c" for this page!!
