Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

A cricut is an electronic cutter. It takes little cartridges with different designs or fonts. The expression is a larger version of the cricut. Anyway, check out cricut.com for any all information about it. The DS is the Cricut Design Studio. It enables a user to hook their cricut up to a computer to merge shapes and fonts from different cartridges, change sizes, ect.

I'm sure that someone can post a better explanation, but there is so many awesome things about the cricut it's hard for me to explain it. The website is a great source of information.

Good to "see" you online tonight ... how many more days do I have to keep this secret?

I don't think I ever log out! I keep a tab open at all times with the DIS up. I think I show as logged in 24/7!

Stephanie!! I KNOW!! When you take your cruise, why don't you do an onboard booking for the May 5th mediterranean cruise??? That way maybe we would get one of your paintings, I know you've ALWAYS wanted to visit Italy! GREAT paintings!!!!

Okay. I'm done (WHEW!!!!) and finally took good pix this time. I didn't take them of all the colorways I did the Mickey head in mainly because they are already packed for the cruise and I had that one pic a few pages back with all of them anyway. I did Stitch for myself becuse I LOVE Stitch and I did 2 more of Donald because my DH wanted to keep him too. I'm not sure I'll get my personal copy of Captain Mickey done in time. He's sketched on the canvas but I've been painting horses for custiomers to get them done to get $ for spending on the Mouse!
Enjoy.

P.Ps.
THANK YOU for all the sweet and kids requests for buying these, I just can't sell them w/o Disney's approval and I'll never get that. LOL I'm just happy to give them as gifts to my fellow cruisers. And believe it or not, they took less than a day to finish all of them.

Your artwork is amazing!! I'm in awe. And very upset that I'm not on your cruise. I understand why you can't sell them but I really want to buy a few of them!!!

People join the FE exchange for their cruise, on their Cruise MEETS thread (found at the top of the main Cruise thread).
Outside each stateroom is a metal Fish Hook, from which people in the exchange hang a pocketed wall hanging for gifts to be put into. This hangining is called a Fish Extender thus the name FE Exchange.
The exchange is like a secret santa and is a lot of fun. Some groups are HUGE others are small. We participated in my first exchange recently and it really did add some Magic to our Cruise! It was nice to come back to our stateroom at various times of the day and find small gifts in our FE.

I am not sure what thread to put this in and I hope I do not ruin the surprise for the people on my cruise in my meet thread but I have to ask.

For the autographed picture mats does anyone have a saying that could be placed on a note card when giving? I am thinking of giving them on day one or two allowing time to turn it in to guest services. I did think about turning them in myself but my concern is it will be too many so I was going to tape the edge with painters tape, wrap with a bow and add a note and sharpie.

I am guessing you're doing this for your Magic trip....how about a little poem like this:

To make sure you keep the MAGIC alive,
Turn this mat into to Guest Services, as soon as it arrives.
At the end of the trip, it will be returned to you,
With signatures from your favorite characters, and maybe a surprise or two!

So hurry, don’t wait, you don’t want to miss out,
This is one to cherish, without a doubt!

I leave for Disney on Sat (2 more sleeps as my kids say!)....then we'll be on the Thanksgiving cruise on the Wonder. Just finished my FE's and have taken pictures. I'll post as soon as I get back!

Thanks for all the ideas everyone has submitted on this board! They've all been great inspiration!

I've seen Sanddollars with a photo of the wonder glued in the middle, sprarkle's round the edge, then a gold string attached for hanging it on the tree.
