All I used was a template and pictures! simple! This is Edisto Beach where we vacationed last week...beautiful even in the rain, but wait, it will get better as I scrap more pictures!

journaling:
It wasnt the nicest beach weaather when we arrived and for the first day, but that gave us the beach mostly all to ourselves. It didnt deter the shell collectors too badly. One woman was collecting shells and putting them into a styrofoam cooler. I had to ask what she was collecting and why. Her goal...white oyster shells to line her driveway. That sounded like an ambitious but fun project. I was tempted to help, but realized I may not know the exact criteria for which white oyster shells would make the best driveway. Another young couple who looked very hippy-ish were hunting on the rocks. The young woman had on a cute yellow dress which was soaked from playing around in the water. The young man came over and gave me a large conch shell. He said the best shell-hunting was to be had on the rocks. I liked these people.
