Disneyelf10, I LOVE your cards! The Nemo one and the party/Mickey head one are especially cute!

I don't think I have posted a picture in two years, but here goes:

If you are on the 4/10/11 Dream, DON'T LOOK, Ethel, DON'T LOOK!!



These are hidden Mickey magnets I made using designs from a fellow DISer.

These are most AWESOME!

hey there

Wondering if anyone can help me find bails for the necklaces I'm making. I have the ribbon necklaces that have one strand of organza and 2 strands of cord...the bails I got at JoAnns and Hobby Lobby don't seem to want to go ON them! what bails have you found that fit slide easily onto your necklace?

thanks!

I found mine on etsy.com. I ordered the medium bails and I have those ribbons, they have the lobster clasps. The seller is Iwantsupplies.

Good luck!

Linda

OK, I'm a little confused.

I'm a brand new, first-time cruiser. What's FE? What are all of these gifts? It sounds like people spend LOTS of money on these?! What are they????????

 

[angieleia]

Amazing gifts!!!! You guys are so talented!!!

Makayna...not everyone gives out hand-made gifts. We just returned from our first-ever cruise and the only hand-made gift I gave out was a scrapbook/bookmark thingy. (Everything else was small things like candy, etc.) However, now that I know what it is all about and have much longer to plan for our next cruise, I am going to put a little more effort/time into the next one.

FE stands for "Fish Extender". Here is a good thread that will do a better job than me of explaining:

I am so glad we participated on our cruise! It was a lot of fun!

You would be very proud of me. I did not look, although I was tempted. I love surprises so I am resisting the temptation. Looking forward to our cruise.

Where do you get the font for the DREAM?

 

[KatiezMom]

I have spent the last 3 days reading threw this thread and am sold. We are heading out on our first cruise in September and am hoping they are into doing FE. I am not super crafter (well I quilt but ummm...not doing one of those for everyone) so this should be fun

My good grief and golly, you folks are talented!!

I'm up to page 75, and really, really have to go make supper...
And there are only a few folks on our Cruise Meet thread...
No FE Exchange yet, we're still a year out...

But I'm ready to head to the craft store tomorrow and make a 100 FE Gifts!!!!LOL!

Love the CDs, ppony's paintings, someone's DH painted watercolours, crossstitched bookmarks, picture frames, earrings, necklace pendants, cell phone thingies, key chains, t-shirts, autograph books, scrapbooks, candy, snacks, playing cards, beverage cozies, toys, games, magnets....my little brain is on creative overload!!

Thanks for being so inspirational! and willing to share!

That's me, too - I got excited by having my docs arrive and made ANOTHER FE for everyone Can't wait to hand them out!

PS - I also am resisting the temptation and NOT looking at your link

Does pretty much every cruise do an FE exchange? My cruise is still over 4 months out, and as of yet (that I know of), there's not an FE exchange planned, but I'd like to maybe get started on something (I've assigned door decorations to Fiancé and maybe making the FE extender, and I think I'm going to be making FE gifts). But if nobody on my cruise does this, then I don't want to "waste" my time. How many people are usually in each group? What I mean is, how many people are usually exchanging, so how many items will I need? And do you normally do more than one thing per stateroom, or is it one item per PERSON in each stateroom, or do you do 2+ things for each person in each stateroom? How is that normally done?!
