As promised, here is what I gave as my gift on our Med cruise:

I am leaning towards a goodie bag for the next cruise including some things that I have made and some other little things. I ordered the first part for this yesterday.

Corinna

Those are cute!

How in the *world* did you keep those from getting trashed on the flight over? Even as a carry on, I would have been terrified of some breaking. Very awesome, btw

This is one of my favourite threads, I love it when I see a new post. Come on everyone, post some pictures, Either of FE's you made of received!

 

[Steph178]

All of your ideas are wonderful. You are inspiring me. We are going on our first cruise May 2011. I am already planning my FE gifts.

 

[Hoagie Pie]

You guys have great ideas. I am walking away with about 5 things, but I need to sit down and think about it - I want the perfect thing, the right weight for my luggage, etc. Thank you and keep the ideas coming! Great board Buckeye Gal!!!

i've made pin trading starter kits, i bought a load of pins off ebay, and a load of lanyards. i've put 2 pins on each lanyard and included a "how to" leaflet, then put them in clear bags. there's a label on the back of each bag explaining what it is and how to trade.
i was really pleased with the way they came out, and they're really small and light, so very luggage friendly

I peeked!!!!!!

Wow!

My FE is finished. Can't sew atall, but used my MIL's old sewing machine dating back to 1950's!! A bit rough around the edges and lots of iron ons, but hopefully will do the job.

Bit worried it is too big now, but I am NOT making another one

Hi again.

Made these for all the kids in our group.

Fingers crossed they are the right sizes, although I went up at least an age for each one.

Thanks to Suzy Mouse for the image....

That is so cute! How many shirts did you make?

 

[K8T]

There are only 10 children.

I got the shirts in Asda (Walmart), they are pretty basic, but will do the job for the 7 nights. Some of the older ones 10 & 13 may think they are not too cool, but I couldn't not do one for them all!.

I downloaded a free 'Walt' font and used a jpeg image from someone on the boards, it was so difficult to find a clear Sailor Mickey image. I used Word and Word Art to make the design, which I printed on to transfer paper. Had to remember to 'flip' the image before printing (located in Print under Properties).

My dd is 5 and loves it.

kate, where did you get the character transfers for your FE?

kate, where did you get the character transfers for your FE?

With great difficulty!!

You just cannot get these in the UK, I tried most places, Hobbycraft had a couple, but I found them on ebay (good ole' ebay). A company called Minerva Arts and Crafts, they also have a website with some on.

Then my sister went to wdw for three weeks and got back this weekend, she brought some back with her, although the only one I used was Sorcerer Mickey, the others were what I had bought.

There is also a site called Etsy, which is in the US and that was great for ideas, but you wouldn't have time now to get them delivered.

I originally wanted to do silhouettes on the pockets, and got some black felt with sticky on one side from Hobby Craft, but my daughter wanted the iron ons.

They are adorable, My girls are 8 and 9 and would love them.
I love making for the kids, It's so much fun!
