Cindy...very cute!! I love the letters! I made keychains like that on my Oct '09 cruise. they packed well which was sooo nice!! It's so cool to see how creative we all are!!!

 

[iloverags2]

Those are great! What did you string them on?

Thanks!!! Oh gosh...I will have to run over to A.C. Moore to see what the stuff was called. It was a roll of black sting-type stuff, although not cotton material. The packaging is long gone, but I am planning a stop over that way tomorrow. Will take a pic and post it. It was so incredibly easy to use and string the letters and beads on, and very easy to knot at the ends.

Thanks!!! The letters came from A.C. Moore, which was the only place I saw the black with white lettering. Typically the craft stores carry white (or some other color) with black lettering.

Yeah I had to use the white ones.. We are limited when it comes to craft store. I love your design! I am working on my FE for my MR Oct cruise! Wanna get a bunch done before I go work for the season May 1st!

I there, I can finally add to this ever growing list. We cruised on the Wonder Dec 5th and here are some of the goodies that my DD and I did or put together for our FE exchange

Magnets

Postcard from my home town

Bookmarks

Mickey & Minnie Christmas bells(idea from past poster)

Chrsitmas goodie bag from Dollar Tree embellished with sparkly stickers

I made a disc of some Disney steel drum music

We had so much fun doing this and are loooking forward to are next cruise on the Dream in October.

I love them all, but the Mickey and Minnie bells are just precious.

I made these little "beaded charms" and attached them to luggage tags for our 11/27/10 cruise on the Magic. They can easily be removed from the tags, so folks can use the charms for whatever they wish. (Luckily I ordered some blank luggage tags for latecomers to our exchange. And then for the last minute additions, I purchased blank luggage tags from the craft store.)

The charms look great

Ok, as promised here is the picture of the "string" used for the beads. It's called linen cord, although it has a very waxy feel to it (possible that it has a wax coating). This makes it super easy to string the beads on it as the ends do not get frayed, and the knots at the end tie a bit larger than with regular stringing material. I purchased this at A.C. Moore.

Thank you so much for showing me! These are super cute, and would be easy to pack. I love the idea.

Thanks for posting this. I assume your toe is better?

What a wonderful thread! DW, DD and I have just spent a few hours looking through all your ideas. We'vd got lots to think about before our cruise this July.

Bwahahahaha! Yeah, as long as I don't touch it against anything else! What a klutz I am!

Mousejunkie98, the Post-It holder and a picture frame are dreamy(LOL)! Love the ribbon theme and post-it note saying.

Thank you. Now I have to think of something else for our Oct cruise.Thinking of adding little witches hats to them. What do you think?

The Mickey and Minnie bells are just adorable!

Thanks. I did get the idea from another poster but they were so easy to make and fun.

 

[golfnsuch]

These are FABULOUS!

Did you order the post-its? Do they have the same saying on every note?

I love the frame, too! Nice job.

WOW ...love these .... where did you get that cute Mickey head button?

 

[mousejunkie98]

Thanks so much, I'm having a lot of fun making them

The mouse head buttons I found in the scrapbooking stickers section of Michael's (and after I bought them out, I found some more at JoAnn Fabric & Crafts!). They're a licensed Disney sticker, so I bet you'd be able to find them online.

The post-its I ordered from vistaprint.com, and they all have the same message with the palm tree and ocean. I love them

I LOVE this idea of the sticky notes and have infact already started to look into these for our next cruise! Is that Brown card stock around the pad? And how did you make the frame?? I just cant get over how cute it is!
