Handprint fish thank you

My husband and I were very fortunate to take a trip in June to an all-inclusive Caribbean resort.  It was wonderful in every way, especially since we knew that we were leaving our two precious little ones in great hands.  Nothing we could give or say would truly show our thankfulness for being able to leave our children in such loving care, but the kids and I did try to make a simple thank you for all the fun they had with their grandparents.  

"With appreciOCEAN and gratiTIDE": the wording is completely stolen from another idea somewhere online that I read a while ago.  We cut out foam fish and used sandpaper for sand.  Both kids had fun decorating with markers.

The kids love doing painted hand print art because they giggle like crazy when I paint their fingers and hands.  Mini Me's fish on the left, is a catfish.  See the whiskers?  A couple googly eyes, stickers, and a personal message later, our thank you was complete.
