Love your puzzle idea...but how did you get it? Is is something you ordered from Tabologist?

We are surprising my 12 year old with a Spring Break Fantasy Cruise. On Christmas morning we're giving her a hand made card using the Disney Cruise scrapbooking sticker, maybe a Disney gift card, and a new bikini for the trip! She's turning 13 on the last day of our cruise, so we'll be celebrating her bday as well. Then at 10:30 after all presents have been opened, Mickey will be calling the house to tell her as well!

Should be fun, but I do like the idea of the puzzle also, so please let me know!

I created the picture from some clipart of Milipie's. I ordered it from personalizationmall.com I got the 26 piece but they also have smaller pieces.

thanks so much, I was just browsing the net to find where you might've had it made. I also have some of Milliepie's work that I was going to use for magnets, a puzzle sounds like so much fun.

Update: We gave the kids each 8 pieces to the puzzle, which they opened Christmas eve and worked together to assemble. I was dying to keep this trip a secret. We are all so excited!!!
