Not sure what I'm going to do with all of this stuff...probably just donate it at Christmas-time. Oh well... Glad it's working out for you...better late than never!!

What cruise are you on in July?

Wanted to say hello. I'm here getting ideas. I started with the other thread but way too many posts. I'll let you know what I come up with after our cruise!

Now that we're home, I can post a pictures of the coasters that I made.

And here's a close-up of one.

Okay - this is the largest FE exchange I've ever done with 72 cabins -

So, those of you who are lurking from the June 23 Fantasy - look no further!

I went with a luggage theme - so there's a canvas bag to help cart things around on the trip (or organize your cabin or carry whatever at home)

There is a set of four luggage handle covers to help find your suitcases amid the maze in the port or airport (and to help soften the load of your overstuffed souvenir bag)

There are also keychains (Not as fancy as some of those I've seen on this board...) to keep the memory of your cruise with you throughout the year.

Everything is bundled nicely with a card & poem describing the gift:

I hope that everyone likes them. Credit to the creative geniuses on this board who provided the ideas that led to this FE gift!

You made FE's for 72 cabins!!!! These are great but I can't imagine how long it took you to sew these... Wow. Great job!

Really great idea and notes!

yes - those are exactly what we gave! We found some great deals on-line for them.

Love your FE gifts!

Could you point me to directions for the coasters? (I have basically no crafting experience)
Many thanks!

We could do a virtual on line exchange

I don't have pictures but for an upcoming cruise I have made Mickey Mouse soap. I took the Mickey icon ice cube tray we got from WDW and used melt and pour soap, poured into the ice cube trays and voola little Mickey Mouse soap.

I had so much fun making these, that I decided to make little autograph book bags for the dolls as well.

If you're on our July 29th Dream cruise shhhhh...don't tell the DDs!!

Wow, what a great idea! You did a really good job. I'm sure the girls will love these! ...My daughter LOVES Pinterest! She's always finding ideas there.
