I love this idea! I don't have the Cricut but I have an idea for the lettering. Can you tell me where you got your clear envelopes?
Thanks!
PS...If you're on my cruise, pretend you didn't see this

Got my FE gifts started thanks to the 2 almost 17 year olds that are going. The family gift is an idea I found on here but I wont tell yet cause I cant leak my secret. Funny thing is we cruise Dec 15, 2012!!!
mine have been done for a while but now comes the fun part of packing them
Try packing for 97 cabins And I was stupid to do one gift for the parents and one gift for each child. Took more than carry-on to get them packed!
Good luck getting everything packed! Our last cruise taught me a bunch about packing!!!

Here are my FEs that I did for our Alaska cruise...
I made a pack of homemade postcards for each port (2 each)
and wrapped them all up with ribbon, etc.
It was GREAT fun!!!

and included an "Alaska-themed" pen
I also made a little wristlet for cruisers' KTTW card and lipstick with our cruise graphic and included a pin with the state flower (forget me not)
It was GREAT fun!!!
Wow, 97 cabins!!! That is crazy. I am lucky cause I only have 11 cabins in my group.
holy crap That's ALOT I don't think I would join in the group, I think that would be to overwhelming.Plus it would probably take forever to deliver them all.
I don't thiink I would participate with that many either. Couldn't you guys split them up into smaller groups. It will take you all day to deliver that many!!! I think groups of less than 25 would be much more managable for everyone. You are most certainly dedicated!
I hope that at about a year out someone speaks up and says they will organize the FE. If they dont, guess who might so it isnt left until last.WOW - my concern with starting too early is knowing how many gifts I need. I don't want to make 30 and only need 10, but I don't want to make 10 and find out there is going to be 30 cabins participating. But more power to your energy!
Our cruise thread has a website set up by one of the cruisers and a cruiser list is already started with the information about who wants to participate or not. This means I have an idea of who is participating and their sexes and ages whick makes getting started work well. I am doing a family gift that is homemade and survival kit for every family that will contain a pack of tissues, some hand sanitizer wipes, probably some sunscreen and really good lotion samples to use at night after a day of being in a pool. (I am an independent beauty consultant so I will order samples next summer and with every order I do over the next year. I will also put a few bandaids and other supplies that might be needed. All of this will go into a zip lock bag so it can be thrown in a day bag. I have several teen girls on the cruise so far so I am still thinking for them.
I have started collecting things for children when I find them on sale like silly banz. Everything collecting like that could be used in goody bags or as Egg hunt prizes at church. We also have two teachers that work with special programs such as reading and speech in primary grades and preschool that love donations for incentives, so if we dont use what we have collected so far they have a home to go to.
