Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[disfunfor3]

Advent calendar idea: make an envelope for each day with a happy inspirational quote, a fun line from a disney movie, fun fact about the ship or the area you are from. Decorate the outside with numbers for each day of the cruise.

Or a mobile with above information or cruise theme shapes or Disney characters.

I already have too many ideas and my cruise is still a year away!!

DO NOT LOOK IF YOU ARE ON THE APRIL 7th Dream FE





So I wanted to make everyone charm bracelets at first.I ordered these amazing silver beads overseas and then started buying the crystals. I had to readjust because I had already spent $100.00 and only had half done. So I went with the earrings.. I also made personalized keychains for all the younger ladies. However, I still was able to make 4 bracelets that I will let my son pick out randomly when we drop off the gifts. I FINALLY learned how to paste the photo directly... YAY
I put up better pictures so you can see the colors of the crystals..

And I second that! We still use what she gave us. I wish I was that skilled with a sewing machine! I'm still at a loss for what to do for our FE in June.

Will the same method work for Picasa?

Will the same method work for Picasa?

I would assume so as they are basically the same..

I WANT TO CRUISE WHTH YOU!! AWESOME GIFTS! Are you willing to share where you bought your supplies? Would love to do some of these.

We loved your gifts and the bag is so cute! Great way to kick off the FE. Hope you had a great cruise.

I'm so happy you liked the bags and gifts. You mentioned earlier that you might post some of the gifts you received. If you don't mind, would you please post ours? We were in such a rush to deliver them that I didn't take a picture and I'd like to have one for myself. I imagine the M & M's are gone, but maybe the bag, note cards and Mickey magnets. Thanks. The cruise was nice, but a bit shorter than we're used to. We even did the 3-night B2B, but it wasn't like a 7-night. We did get a chance to become better acclimated though.

I think I might do this as a "countdown calendar" at our house to get everyone excited for our trip in August. What a wonderful idea!! I also love it as a way to "package" our FE since I have a "gift" for each day of our cruise. This way we can just deliver once, but the recipient can open a new envelope each day!

I absolutely love your jewelry as well - would you be willing to PM to me where you got your supplies??

Many, many thanks!

A couple pages back there were some note cards. This is what I made and gave out on our cruise, January 2011.

then I piled them together and wrapped a ribbon around them

The "words" used are elements from digital scrapbooking kits that I have purchased.

I love homemade cards! These are especially beautiful, especially since they are disney oriented. Hope you don't mind if I "card-lift" these?

Here are the pictures of your FE bag and some of the gifts:

My husband drew a template and then cut out the form from plywood with a scroll saw. Then he sanded the edges. He put a primer coat on and then the chalkboard paint. He put magnets on the back. We have one on our fridge and one on our dishwasher. We saw the idea on this thread and went with it.

YAY!! That was me who originally made them (or at least talked about it here). We pretty much did the same thing. I also attached the chalk to a red ribbon with masking tape, then glued the other end to the back of the board.

Don't mind at all

My husband would not let me attach the ribbon. He did not want me to mess with his design. LOL!
Thank you for the idea!

WOW, these are AWESOME!!!

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.
