UM YAH! I TOTALLY wish. I'm regretting only booking a 4 day. It's all we could afford at the time but gosh, I am still WISHING!

They are all 4x4 so they'll fit neatly in the luggage. I only have about a dozen. I put driers in the paint too so they are already well on their way to being dry.

Okay, enogh stalling for me, I have to paint ponies.

Wow, we're on the cruise right before you and I'd hate to show you my FE's in comparison. They're great!

Heres my home made Fish Extender...used fabric fusion tape and iron on hem tape to seal it together its only costs a few dollars to make.
Theres plenty of Mickey patches available on Ebay I am making a second for my kids cabin so I will post another in a day or two.

Very pretty. Where did you get your red fabric?

I made scrapbooking embellishments with my Cricut machine. Adults will get Disney tin with embellishments inside and matching notebook and pen. Inside the tin is also this note "Hope you have a WONDERful time with these! they are great for scrapbooking, crafts, or decorating a photo album." Items will be in a sandwich bag with custom bag topper. Hope they like them!

Love these! Did you make the tins and notebooks as well? What makes them shiny?

I have the kids and the teens covered. I am having a hard time with the family/adult gift. Any ideas (non-alcoholic)?

Thanks! She was about 4 or 5 years younger there. It's still my favorite pic though.

Thanks. One just opened up about an hour from here. Might be worth a ride.

You most certainly should!

Had to wait until our return but I custom made water bottles with each person's name and the sailing date. The hardest part was getting on 3 small cases of water. I should post this is the thread of "why do you have to bring water onboard, can't you drink the ship's water".

May I use your black and white/red Micky picture on the cruise graphics board its very good!

I designed & ordered custom luggage tags as one of the gifts I gave for our FE's. It was a lot of fun. I found this pic somewhere online (orig. in color) and I turned it to B & W and then added Mickey in his Captains uniform. Several of us were doing back-to-back cruises but there were also a couple of families that were only doing the 4 n cruise...so I customized the dates:

I also bought a box of business card magnets at Staples and designed & printed frig magnets for our DIS group. (It's REALLY hard to find, but I put a Hidden Mickey in it too!)

I don't have pics of the other gifts I got, but there was some really cool stuff. Others in our group gave lanyards, ordered custom labeled candy bars, custom printed M & M's, custom notepads...someone else also made frig magnets...ummm let's see...someone painted picture frames... We got SO many cool gifts!

Will someone that made the license plates post a pic of them. I have a cricut and this sounds like a great idea for my next cruise. I'm not sure when that will be, be it will happen sometime! I'm waiting to see where the Dream will be going!

I'm sorry but I don't have any. I can describe it pretty well. I used the Mickey Font cartridge. I used the plain license plate but you could also use the one with Mickey ears. The same cartridge was used to cut out letters for all the names. Small Mickey and friends stickers were used to decorate them. This would also be cute with Pluto's bone or the ticket... I forgot how cool this cartridge is. I may cut more items for my FEs.

Jeniamnt - The tins, notebooks, and pins are from Target. My Target ran out FAST so they checked area stores for me and I drove to three stores to get all I needed.

HTH Happy Sailing!!!

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.

THANKS!

I had to make about a dozen of them. They are all 4x4. So nice and small.
I was telling DH I was afraid I'd want to book another cruise while onboard and he said "no". We'll see! But we are hoping to buy into DVC so I might really have to be good. Enjoy your 2011 cruise!
