That's so funny, because that is what I thought you wanted! LOL

Awesome sounds perfect!!! Can't wait to see it!

 

[kmab00]

I agree about the lei's! I was in Party City yesterday and didn't think to look at them specifically but I know that they had an entire section (about half the wall) full of different color lei's!

This will beat the cheapo-depot one we had for our last cruise. I think it came from Japan off ebay for like $5 or something like that!

WOW! Japan has FEs? It really IS a small world after all!!

 

[kmab00]

No, it wasn't a "real" FE...it was just something (pre made) that had Mickey on it with pockets.... lol

Hello all,

For those of you who requested a completed FE list. Please make the following correction:

The Quentina, family I have Jolicia in ERROR I listed her as a boy, please make the correction that Jolicia is a girl and NOT a boy.

Changing the totals to:

Group 1 and 2 Total- 68
Group 1 and 2 Boys 10
Group 1 and 2 Girls - 12

I'm dying laughing over here... That's what I got last week off Ebay for $6 from someone in China.
It has Mickey,Minnie,Donald and Daisy on it

Definitely will have Jen do ours for our next cruise on the Dream

From what I've read on this thread ( http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1219607&highlight=original )before people used to sell FEs you either had to buy the chinese ones from ebay,or make your own.
The chinese ones were the "original" FEs so to speak

The original fish extenders (see the picture in post #2 on this thread) are 7.75 inches wide, about 25.5 inches long and the dowel is exactly 8.5 inches across.

This is the one I got from Ebay. I added Mickey ears to mine and changed the ribbon:

G'Morning Everyone! I love the Chinese FEs. I hope everyone has a great day today and finds some pixie dust somewhere within that you then go sprinkle on someone else! I am headed to work - late already, but I am headed that way!

Those are really cute! I have seen those before in other FE pictures, but I didnt know they were Chinese!

MAN you are early today! I just woke up and I am really early. I usually dont roll out of bed for another 30 minutes! How did cheerleading weekend go?

Well all, I just bought the materials for me to make my FE. And with a 3 yards of material and ribbon laying in the middle of my floor, those Chinese FE are looking better and better by the second...

Guess I need to print out the directions on how to make the FE bag.... I have come to the conclusion me just looking at it on my floor it will not make its self

Oh Jen I should have just begged and pleaded for you to make ours for me at such a late date. But anyway, I am going to give this my best try.

You can still order one. I am doing one now that has to be at their house Sept 5th.

 

[kamgen]

Jen- do you make FE?? My mom needs one. Let me know!

Sounds tempting, we will see what me and my DD3 Administrative Assistant and Assistant Art Director can come up with first.

(FYI, I was trying to make some Mickey Mouse heads for door decorations and DD3 told me they look like reindeer)

Yes ma'am. I will send you the site name in a PM. I dont know if they would have a cow if I posted it in our meet thread. They go bolistic if you link to etsy in the forums.

OK get with your people and have them talk to my people and we can set up something. K? Call me! We'll do lunch! Well Palos for sure! I can also do patches. I have done that for someone else. They just sew or glue them on.
