(She married into the right family). Not only does she travel for pleasure, but she logs a lot of air miles for her job as an award-winning (Academy Award nominee\/Emmy Award winner) documentary film producer. She knows just what I like, and the last time she was in South Africa, she picked up the cutest gift for me, and I think it is something that you clever ones could easily DIY.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29136\" src=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1956-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"DIY placemats\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1956-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1956-430x286.jpg 430w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1956-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/IMG_1956-900x599.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>She gave me a set of perfect-for-fall placemats and napkins.
