YIPPEE.....our stateroom had a WINDOW.... a HUGH window...this was so cool as we could see all the other ships going by, the fabulous supply of birds, the changing colors of the water....just awesome, i tell ya!
since i tend to get a little ancy in tight places, this window was so much appreciated by me....little deeds liked it, too !!
this was really a pretty room...i was so impressed and didn't expect it to be so large and colorful.
see that cute little towel animal on the bed.....they greeted us every evening with one of these cute creatures.... our beds were turned back each night and CHOCOLATE left on our pillows....oh, and the beds could be pushed TOGETHER to make a queen sized bed.....
this being the other end of the room...plenty of closets and shelves, a sofa that also made into another bed, a safe, bar, tv....really, really nice, ladies!!
a cute little elephant was waiting for us one night....
uh....your guess is as good as mine on what this one might be...ANYWAY...it was so cute !
then, one night, mr. seal came a'visitin'
uh....a crab, maybe ??an octopus ??
the CUTEST little hanging monkey....
didn't the crew do a great job on these !!?

Oh, now I really do want to pack my bags and head for a cruise ship! I love those towel critters. They're so cute. I wonder how long it takes someone to do those? Hmmm...I don't think I'll be doing those for my family that is coming tomorrow.

Bj, I can't imagine where the card went. The only thing I can think of is my dh was in charge of the mail for a few weeks. That can be dangerous. LOL He is so careless about sorting the mail I do everything in my power to keep him away from it. Thank you for the sweet thought my friend. I do not have to see a card to appreciate your well wishes which I know came from your heart.
ReplyDeleteYour stateroom is lovely. We too had a window and for me that is very important. I understand how you feel. I am so glad your cruise was wonderful. How could it miss with all your family there. smile.
Hugs and love...Jeanne
girl that is a nice room. I have always been afraid so I never would go on a cruise. I may could make it on this one hehe.
ReplyDeleteWow.... who would have ever thought of towel critters..... how cute is that,,,, so glad you got the royal treatment...

Hello BJ,
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you enjoyed your cruise. Did you ever see the DVDs I have on how to make towel origami? They're GREAT. Here is where you can get them www.FoldingMagic.com
They are less than $30 for 2 DVDs.
They even have a Republican elephant. I would have never guessed you were a Republican! :) LOL!
Enjoy!

Wow, that is a great room! I would love those towels too. Where do they come up with ideas for that? Too cute!
