We shouldn't need valium ON the cruise, gang! IT's getting READY for the cruise that frays the nerves. And will I EVER get the last thing bought?
Now, i'm off to print address labels, tip envelopes, and uh, assemble a scrapbook.
OH - CRuise scrapbooks - I've done books after all three cruises i've been on - each one in two weeks or less. It's one of the easiest things you'll ever scrap. Here's how I did it.
1. Cruise is a finite event with a known order of play (the itinerary)
2. I picked a colorscheme and bought enough cardstock, coordinating paper and embellishments for the whole book at once.
3. Don't have a die cuttool, so I print my title letters using word art in powerpoint, and hand cut them. I used the same font throughout, and print on the right side of the paper, then cut outside the line. Presto, the letters are preoutlined. Stickerletters or rub ons would also do.
4. Irregardless of what cruise or size album, a cruise will have some selection of pages such as these, in some order or other.
a. title page
b. at port
c. welcome aboard
d. Our cabin
e. destination spreads - about the ports, excursions, etc.
f. shows and games
g. characters
h. FOOD
i. deck parties and nightlife
j.
castaway Cay
k. farewell
l. family specific pages - in our case on the last cruise - "sleeping" around (the ship).
5. With the album framework in place, I can also plan what photos I need to be sure to capture.
See? you CAN do it!
Just kidding, i know Linda has been busy on a special project so I have to give her some slack.
... we just tried on our formal outfits and stood in front of the mirror to make sure everything works together 
LORNA AND TO YOUR MOM, TOO!
. (It's the same expression we have when we watch Lost).
, I think, at least from this end, that we won't be able to get Bill up on stage with you. However, I will be there in the front row when you sing! How 'bout giving us a little Abba?! 
Bought DH and DS pants for casual nights and the coolest mickey ties
