Dream 7/5/11 - fish extender list

[marhs]

Thank you all so much for the very special gifts. We loved them, and DS was very surprised by all the fun things he got. Loved, loved the paint (sand) brush! I got so many comments on it at CC, and even started showing complete strangers how well it worked. The funniest was at the bus stop on the way back to the ship, and I had a line of about 3 kids all waiting their turn for me to brush them!

Did anyone have trouble figuring out our gift? My son thought it was too complicated.

Please start a FB page. Love my FB!

Lisa, so glad you liked the sand brush! Too funny - would have loved to have seen that line of kids waiting to be "brushed"!!!

With the kids opening all the gifts faster than I could see, I didn't catch who made everything - did you make the adorable scrapbooked envelope with the pop up picture frame in it (and glow necklaces?) We LOVED that! I'm a scrapper, and I was super impressed with that pop up photo display!

Not being creative at all, I was so impressed with everything!
Trust me when I say your hard work did not go unnoticed!
Marcy, you are so amazing!
Again, thanks to everyone for making another Disney cruise a magical one!

Thanks for all the great Fish Extender gifts! I only wish I had had better luck with part of what we gave out!

Part of what we gave out were Frango mint cookies (from Chicago, of course), but many of them melted into nothingness from being in the cargo hold at boarding. We also had Dove chocolates for the kids, which also melted.

On day one, after the shops opened, I bought a bunch of Mickey chocolate coins for the kids, and decided to take the least melty of the cookies and try my best, so each cabin ended up with only one cookie, but I had to give something from back home! I hope the cookies weren't too ruined.

I never had a chance to see everyone's Fish Extenders, because DH and eldest DD (the ones that had no part in shopping, planning, or preparing) wanted to hand out the gifts, so off they went while the other two girls were at the movie. The other two girls were disappointed that they didn't get to hand out anything when they returned, but we all did enjoy receiving our gifts!

We did have a problem on the first day with one gift being taken out of my bag. I saw I had something in both bags, but I was only dropping off something in the cabin so I didn't collect the bags. By the time we returned later, our bag was missing a gift. For the life of me, I can't remember who it was from! Oh well, I am sure whomever grabbed it enjoyed it!

We took the green ribbon on one of the bags and tied it to our Castaway bag, and took the brush to the beach with us both days. On day one at CC, I noticed a very similar brush on the chairs behind ours, but I was on my way to the adult beach with eldest DD, so I told younger daughter and her friend to see if they saw the people behind us come back, and if so, let them know who we were. The girls apparently laid out to relax and never noticed anyone, so by the time I came back from Serenity Bay, all of the items for the other Diser were gone! So close, yet so far.

Thanks again though for all the wonderful gifts! We really enjoyed the experience!

I don't know now who gave us the laminated card with the Konk Cooler recipe, but BIG THANKS to whoever did! I picked up all the ingredients at the grocery today and DH and I are enjoying Konk Coolers right now, pretending we're on Castaway Cay!
Thank you!!!
