I like the Minnie, Mickey, Pluto and boat.

DD7 like the Piglet, Minnie and boat.

I think the Cars one (Lightning McQueen) would be good for any little boys on board.

thats what i was thinking too..creating a mickey hand, chip and dale, and eeyore as well. just havent gotten around to putting them in bead form yet.

My kids have a whole bunch of those fusion beads, I have tried finding the plastic molds for Disney characters but all I see is a paper design....where do u find the plastic reuseable molds for Disney>?

there is no plastic mold (pegboards) for the disney ones you use the same ones that the rest of them come with..the paper design is like a pattern that you can go off of to make the design..i have seen kits for the princesses, mickey and minnie, pluto, donald, pooh, piglet, and cars, my goofy i had to create a pattern for as well as the boat. and the others i just listed i had to make my own pattern for as well. they have a large amount of variety in the pegboards large square, circle, horse, hexagon, star,etc and smaller varieties as well in those plus fish, dog, cat, etc. i only have a handful of pegboards currently but plan on buying more as i see different ones as i am planning a project with these for my girl scout troop this fall. my patterns i am putting on index cards and will laminate them and put on a ring so they are together and can be flipped thru to whatever i want when i need it.

it took me a good hour per design to get what i wanted and boy oh boy separating colors is a big major pain in the behind.

I finally started on my Adult FE Gifts for our cruise. I have 3 done and have 20 more to do.

I actually have a nice HDR photo of the Magic that will go inside the frame, but haven't ordered copies of the photo yet.

I had the chance to visit Michael's in the US today, All I can say is wow, way more selection. I found additional supplies for my FE at about 1/2 the price. I was also able to pick up the cutest little wood suitcase that I will paint and decoupage, then fill with sweets for my secret mickey.

I love the banded photo frame, I almost picked some blanks for my cruise group to paint.

Is that a hand stamp? They are really nice, very cute!

Is that a hand stamp? They are really nice, very cute!

Yes, it's from a clear stamp collection I found at Walmart. That was the only sheet they had left and on the whole sheet it was only that one ity bity stamp I wanted, lol. I'm sure I'll make use of the rest in my own scrapbooking though, or to put on Mickey Mail ect.... The ink though is a pain in the butt to modge Podge over. It smeared the ink on the first one, so I wiped it off as best I could, repainted that section, stamped it again and am letting the ink dry for a few days before putting the glossy finish on. I'll see if that works better. They were fun to make though, and still have alot to go!

tjbaggot, those frames are awesome! Since we're not on the same cruise, I may have to "borrow" that idea...

I wanted to let everyone know, I got an e-mail from Joanns.com that all of their Disney related stuff was on sale (on-line only) for 40% off! I saw some stamp sets, lots of cutting molds and scrapbook papers and such, fabrics and other do-dads that will come in handy!

So do you just bring items and put in the FE's or is there someplace else to sign up for a secret pal? I am new to all this.
