HERE IS A PIC OF THE MAP AND PIN THAT RENEE RECEIVED:

Hi Renee and Kay,

That is awesome....anyone else receive this? I hope my TA sends it on to me- sometimes I worry that items like this will not be sent.

Kay, it was good to talk to you today. Thank you for your help. I hope you have a great time on your cruise. I'm glad that you had a good time with your grandbaby. I'm glad you're feeling better.

Renee- I am hoping to set aside sometime to get together and scrapbook when I come down in October. I will be in a large condo so you can come over and we can do a packet Linda style. Maybe I'll design a Disney packet. Eric can talk shop with my father and brother- both successful businessmen and my brother who designs videogames for the X-box.

Anyone else in the area around October is welcome to come and scrap.

Linda- sent you funds today for the scrapbook items- thanks again. I wish I was in SL for the 4th and 24th. I hear Snowbird is closing this weekend- how crazy is that!

Everyone, have a safe and happy 4th- aren't we lucky to live in such a wonderful country!

I just read the back of the pin. The Mickey Head says official pin trading 2005

under there it says: Made exclusively for guests on May 14-28 2005 cruise. Thank you for sailing with us. Disney Magic Captain and crew.

I can only imagine how many of these we will see on Ebay in the next few weeks.....

Nor will mine.

We received the t-shirts we ordered on the ship today.

No pins here, though they are very cool. I did finally find the Castaway Cay pin I was missing. Okay...so I paid a "little" more than $8.95 for it, but I was excited to have at least one complete set for framing. Now all I have to do is figure out how to frame them all!

 

[krdisneybound]

The map and pin that Renae received is just like the postcard (map on it) and magnet that was sold in Treasure Ketch - except instead of a picture of the logo pin, it is the square pin. Have the magnet on my refrig and looked at it and realized it was the same.

It's the map that our formal night pic was put on from Shutters

Celeste,

You've got it, girl! A crop in October it is! I could design a layout too, and we could have a swap. Those are really fun!

Linda, I wish I could be in Salt Lake for the holidays too. I miss the fun we had on the 24th in Bountiful with the parade and little carnival at the park. They don't celebrate the 24th here at ALL! It's such a bummer...

It looks like Nick (my son, for those of you who didn't meet him at Scott's party) has a girlfriend, and we've invited her to BBQ on the 4th with us. Gotta meet this girl...

Happy Canada Day to you guys, Sorry it's a day late.

Happy 4th to us here in the states! We might go over to the Polynesian to watch MK fireworks if I can sit up that long... this is getting old really fast!

GOOD MORNING!
Beautiful morning here in the heartland. 58° and sunny.
Tippy and Lee and I just got back from the Farmer's Market downtown. A little shopping, a little breakfast and a little visiting. Always a good time.
Have a safe and fun weekend.

Laurie,

If you want to frame something with the pins on it, like this map, it's a good idea to put something really heavy behind it that will hold the weight of the pins and still let the 'pointy thingies' stick through it. then put it in a frame with a really thick mat and glass in front. That way the pins won't tear through the paper and fall forward. Anyway, that's what I'd do.

BTW, yes, we did get 2 maps with pins in them. And NO, they won't be on EBAY! Cool!

I came up with a great way to display the map and pins. I really didn't want to stick the pins in the map when I framed them so here is what I did.....

You will need a 11x14 shadow box (not the really deep ones - try Michaels with the 40% coupon!), an 11x14 mat with 8x10 opening, a transparency sheet, scrapbooking picture corners (I don't knwo the technical name) and thin strips of wood or plastic.

Lay the transparency sheet over the map and poke holes where the pins should go to line up with the map (this may take some time/practice to get everything even). Now take the transparency sheet and superglue to the back of the mat. Use "picture corners" to mount the map on the inside back of the shadow box. Then glue the thin strips of wood or plastic on the inside sides of the shadow box to center the mat so it rests in the middle of the shadow box.
I haven't done this with the Panama pins yet because I'm waiting for the free pin. I hope it comes today!! But I did do this with the set I bought from another pn cruise. I took a picture on an angle so you can see how the pins are actually in front of the map.

[auntrenae]

Kay,

That's a great idea! I love the shadowbox with the different layers. My pin came already stuck in the map, so I figured I'd leave it there. Oh well... I'm going to use your idea on some other stuff I need to frame, though...

Did anyone else order the Panama Canal gold charm?? I received the one I order in the mail yesterday and I am VERY disappointed!!! It is not the same charm that was on the ship. I bought the charm bracelet and all the ports of call charms on the ship, except the Panama Canal one because they were sold out. The charm they sent me has a different clasp (actually its' not a clasp so I'll have to take it to a jeweler to attach) and the back is blank. I looked at this charm the first day on the cruise but didn't purchase right away because of the price. I know that the one on the ship had the Disney Cruise Line log on the back (just like the other I have). I know this because I was going to buy one for my MIL who went through on a Princess Panama Canal cruise but then noticed it had the Disney logo on the back.

Does any one know where/what number to call to complain?? I doubt it will do any good! I'm so bummed!!

 

[bonzie1]

I am not taking any chances, I am camping out by our mailbox to make sure I get the pin when it arrives…..

Good idea Scott... I'll come and camp out by your mail box too! Just in case we don't get ours here in NJ!

Hope your drilling side effects have subsided and you're able to enjoy some good 'old corn-on the cob for the 4th of July!

DAWN: That looks SUPER!

Thanks for sharing your steps! Now... ALL I NEED IS THE PIN!!!

So sorry to hear about the charm. I hope you can get something worked out!


BOB + LEE + TIPPY: A walk in a Farmers Market sounds great.. especially on a holiday weekend!

LINDA + ROBERT + JAMIE: Enjoy celebrating the 4th!

RENAE + ERIC: The fireworks at the Poly! WOO HOO!!! Wish Joe + I could come.

ROBIN: Hey girl... keep lurking

SPROS + RPROS: HAPPY 4th

DEBBIE: Sorry about that LONG plane trip experience... what a way to start a holiday weekend!

KELLI: Keep up with your progress... no crutches... YEA!

DISNEYPINDIVA: Enjoy your mousehouse weekend!

EVERYONE!!! HAPPY HOLIDAY!!! Make some beautiful Memories and... KEEP SCRAPPING!

I'm now keeping the arm in a sling... the swelling has gone down. Will be on the medicine for 3 more days. Sure hope that does the trick!

Wow, Dawn!!! I thought it was beautiful, but I never got to see the one on the ship! I was planning on putting it on a necklace, so the clasp didn't matter to me. Was the one on the ship $38 also? I seem to recall that was the price for this one. I'm kinda bummed now, too! The one you describe sounds even better!!

I had to do the same thing with the small logo pin. Sheesh!
Got a full set of the LE 500 and missed the LE 1000 that didn't even require a sleepover. Not sure what I was thinking that day???

We have not received anything we ordered on board yet. I'm pretty sure DH got the charm for me. (it's supposed to be a surprise ) I'll let you know about the clasp and if it has a blank back when it comes.

Good idea on the framing!

Kelli,
Don't give up hope on the post cards. Everyone else we sent them to got theirs long ago, I was beginning to think we would never get the one we sent to ourselves - but it showed up last week. (Panama Canal)

I got an e-mail notification that my local scrapbook store is having a big sale this weekend. I usually just hit delete... but with all the scrapbook talk here I just may have to check it out.

Hope everyone has a safe & fun weekend!

Sheila,

Watch out, you'll have to join our scrap addicts group sooner or later... maybe when Celeste comes down we'll start a 12 step... or 12 PAGE group!!!! lol!
