Hi Susan:

I found the bracelets on clearance at Joann's - they were already made bracelets with some other charm in the middle - I just took it out and replaced with the Mickey. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

And thanks Jdismom!!

Ok so I am finally back! We sailed June 1, but I just got home after spending some time with family, so I can finally post my FE gifts. I had sooooo much fun making everything! We got so many incredible gifts on our cruise, handmade cups, bags, paracord bracelets, sand bottles, CDs, magnets, coasters, what else!? I am sure I am forgetting some. Plus a ton of yummy and useful things and hometown gifts as well. Amazing!!!!

Here is what I made - the main stuff anyway. For the families, passport covers and luggage handles. For the kids, sewn Disney bags stuffed with stuff. Dads and older boys got paracord keychains (really wanted those Mickey rings but ran out of time to get them!). Moms and older girls got make-up rolls for your purse with some goodies inside. I also found these awesome bracelets on clearance and Joann's, which I exchanged their charm for a Mickey. Made some small flashlights with those Mickey charms and a dog tag with the name on them too for the boys, but I can't find the picture.

I want to go on another cruise just to make FEs again!! Well, and for many other reasons, of course!

Um, when is your next cruise? I'll contact my TA today to get on it for that awesome stuff!

Those are really cute. Thanks for sharing. Last night my dd16 was looking through the threads and LOVED a lot of the things on here Especially the jewelry, hair bows, and keychains.

Ok.. not really home made, but I did design on the computer to have the beanies created..

This is one of the gifts we gave out for our Alaskan cruise. We passed them out before we got to Tracy's Arm on July 4th, so that they could be used during the cool day going through the fjord and glacier viewing.

I found them by googling custom Beanies and logo beanies. Lots of companies out there.

Saw this easy idea for picture frames using Disney Parks napkins. I think it would also be cute using park maps.

I tried to read this and it said I had to be invited to read this blog??

Great FE gifts!!! Where did you get the Mickey charms?

Sorry, just realized you are making necklaces so yes, just the jump rings & punch. For the magnets, make sure you use the powerful kind, not the really cheap small ones. They won't stick. Heres some I made...

I did these ones too on clothes pegs, it's a really bad pic, but you get the idea....

Your magnets are so cute! We are going on our first cruise in less than a month. we booked late, just found out about FE & joined late Our Magic is in a tizzy! I was wondering if you are willing to share a download of your circles? I've been working at creating something without alot of time or success so far...

if you decide yes, how may I give you my email?

Thanks for considering!

Thank you all for sharing such wonderful ideas for FE! The talent is amazing! It helps newbies like me try to come up with inspiration for our first cruise and FE!

Thanks.
