A woman where I worked always used pics of her boy, Stone, on home made greeting cards. Meanwhile, I bought a scrimshaw kit from Boone Trading Company and used the little piece of pre-ban ivory to reproduce the image from a New Years card. She wished me good things including "toes in the sand days!" I'll give her the little necklace. What do you think?

Very nice, Joe.
Scrimshaw is fun isn't it?
That will be a great keepsake for her.
And I hope you enjoy a lot of "toes in the sand days."
Best,
