Thank yall so much!!!!! Off to start my FE! Wish me luck!

I really couldn't tell in the pictures how narrow they are! 8" wide and if we have three pockets @ 11" it will be around 44" long right? Just hoping someone will verify I understand this correctly! Not very crafty just a wanna be so it should be interesting! Thanks again!

You have to open an account at someplace like www.photobucket.com (it's free and super easy). Then you can upload from your computer to your photobucket album. Then you just copy the URL link to paste into your posting.

Thanks Stephanie--
Let's see if this works.

We created personalized and decorated mini photo albums - each holds about 28 4x6 photos and are covered in black fabric with hard covers. I photo shopped the picture on the cover to include our cruise info and then laminated them so that people could either replace them with their own photo (and then use the laminate as a magnet or luggage tag) or leave it as the cover image. We inserted them in clear cellophane bags and closed them with "Disney-themed" ribbons. I think they were really cute and i hope people use them.

We were on Magic Feb. 12-19. I made three different gifts - paperbag scrapbook albums (1 per family for the moms), post-it note holders for the dads and grandmas, and more durable photo albums for the kids (based on Milliepie's awesome Disigns). A lot of work, but we only had 9 or 10 staterooms participating so it was manageable.

Here's the paperbag album:

and the post-it matchbook:

and the kids' album:

These are absolutely amazing! I would have been squealing with delight to get one. We made something similar in a girl scout project for my daughter's troop (eons ago) and I know how much work these are! Your fellow FE's are very fortunate. When are you cruising again?! LOL!

Wow, really great gifts! There are many talented DISers on this board.

I am giving a "stateroom" gift. I am giving candy to the kids, but because these take so much time and money, I had to make the tough decision to stop somewhere.

These ARE NOT complete. If you can correctly guess what they are, I will send you one! PLEASE SEND YOUR GUESS IN A PM. I will post a complete photo of one on Wednesday. So you have until tomorrow night to guess! EDITED TO ADD" SIZE IS CURRENTLY 8 X 8 - THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!

April 3 Wonder Cruisers - NO PEEKING









For the kids:

First I stamped brown bags for Pirate night. These are filled with goodies like, magnet picture frames, pirate gummies, gold coin chocolates, erasers, pencils, beads, stickers and tattoos.

I also made bottle cap necklaces for each child. The boys got pirates, girls are pirate also, but personalized with their initial.

For the adults:
I made these CDs. They are lightscribed, not labeled, and they are left blank so that they can burn their pictures to them when they get home.

I also borrowed a DISign from the DISigners and personalized it with our cruise dates. I had these printed onto magnets.

I'm making another kid gift, and possibly another stateroom gift, and I will post those after they are finished.

Okay, I will tell you all what has been guessed so far - still no winner.

Many people have guessed trivets (hot pads) and photo frames. Others have guessed tissue box cover, coaster, photo album cover. Other guesses have been mirrors, keepsake boxes and welcome sign. UPDATE: More guesses have been - pencil boxes and display case.I will give another hint - the hole will be covered up.

Just curious...what is the typical budget for FE exchange if there are 15 cabins?

There is no set budget unless your particular group sets one. For the most part everyone spends what they want. Some spend quite a bit getting personalized items etc. while others save money and do goodie bags or homemade gifts. Generally I think most that participate are not expecting anything specific, therefore it is the thought that counts and they are in it for the fun of it.

I know - I know! Bottomless buffet plates

Reinvented the wheel?

Really big earrings?

You have me stumped!!! If I think of a real answer, I'll send it via PM

These are brilliant. Hope you don't mind me asking but how exactly did you make them?

Here are some more WRONG guesses:

candle holder, chalk board, switch/light plate cover, room number frame.

Two people have come very close with their guesses. They know who they are because I told them they were close.

So far I told you that the hole will be covered up. Now, I will tell you that it will come with TWO accessories.

Guessing ends tonight at Midnight Central time!
