What about looking on the thread that has magnet designs? Maybe that will give you some inspiration.

I'm back from my cruise and giving the paintings. I just LOVE giving! I have to say I hope they all did actually get to their owners because I was REALLY disappointed to get some nasty, snide comments written on my door and some door decorations stolen within a few hours of getting to our stateroom. What gives with some people. I hope they all liked them. I gave a spare to Mike the concierge becuase he was just SO cool and wonderful. I tink he did liked it.

What? Nasty comments with the beautiful pictures you gave them? Ask for them back and send them to me! I would be on my knees in grateful thanks for the enormous amount of love and work you put into those. How totally ignorant!

OH no no no. Sorry. It wasn't from anyone that got the gifts. Just random idiots walking down our hall. Sad thing was, it was the 8th deck so not nearly as many rooms or opportunities on that first day for lots of people walking there. So it was a small ratio of people to pull mean spirited people from. Oh well. I took the white board down. I saw they had written stuff on other boards too.

Did they write it on the wipe board?

Yes. It was sad. I was pretty emotional that day anyway. LONG day, toddler just being a pill and I had not taken my depression meds in 2 days. So I was in tears at our Animator's Palette dinner. I get easily upset by rudeness of others in places I don't expect it. I had wanted to keep the board up but it was best to take it down.

Stephanie, I am so sorry this happened to you. We wrote some little 'Hello' messages on some boards we saw on our cruise, while delivering our FE gifts, but can't believe people would stoop so low as to write nasty stuff.

Please don't let it upset you too much

I am so sorry about those people who were so immature and rude to you. I too get easily emotional about other peoples rudeness and find it upsetting that they would do somehting so mean spirited. Probably just a bunch of young unsupervised teenagers.

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

Hi - I just saw your post...yes, of course.
(I never go over there...what do you do with it there? Do you use it as is?)

I'm sorry to hear that but have "been there". We did back-to-backs on the Wonder last summer and had absolutely no problems on our 4 nighter but came "home" to find profantiy written on our dry erase board several times on the 3 nighter! And we were staying in one of the forward SPH cabins so also didn't really have all that much traffic going by us. But that is one reason we'll never do another 3 nighter. The people were rude. I hope you had fun and enjoyed your cruise tho other than that.

We take the current text off, put in something like "The Smith family cruising with Micky" and the date and print it out for a stateroom door magnet.

We were inspired by the great ideas on this thread to bring homemade FE gifts. My husband did watercolors of the ship for the adults. Thanks for the idea to go homemade!

I am not sure if this works or not. Have been trying to figure out how to post a pic of these all day.

They look good!

So much talent you all have.

Now that our cruise is over, I can share what we did. I gave hubby a Mickey head template. He cut SEVERAL out with a jigsaw. I then sanded the edges. We spray painted all of them with chalkboard paint. I hot glued a red ribbon to the back, then attached a piece of chalk to the end with masking tape. I think they looked pretty good. Unfortunately, I can't post pictures.
