Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

[quentina]

Hi Everyone!

Now that my cruise is over I can finally post photo's of my FE gift without spoiling the surprise for anyone!

For each cabin, I made a Pirate Mickey out of stained glass. They are 4 or 5" in diameter and they all had different earrings. Some had charms, others had gold hoops, others had silver hoops... I mixed it up!

I had a ton of fun making them, and I hope everyone enjoys them !

We did receive a bunch of great homemade gifts and embroidered presents that we really love. I'm very thankful that we had such a great group of Disers to cruise with!

In case I didn't post this yet....we LOVED ours! Thanks for all the hard work you did!

OK, I'm back from my WBTA and as promised here is what I gave to all cabins.
Photo Albums -

Koala's per person ( I am Australian )

Also a packet of Tim Tams and some Australian postcards.
The kids got their own gifts as I posted a few months ago, the boys got a Steve Irwin pack and girls an Activity book that I made.

I really hope everyone liked it. This was my first cruise and first FE's, I wasn't sure what to expect, we had so much fun making and delivering our FE's and the kids loved coming back to the room and checking our FE. We got so many great gifts, I especially loved the homemade ones.

I love the photo albums. The Koala that Bella gave me has found a special place in our house.

Just got back from Michael's craft store. They are showing you how to make necklaces, rings and a ribbon book mark, which I think I'll be doing for my FE's next Sept. Event goes on until 4 pm today in case anyone is interested.

I got the beads from an artist who used to be active on the DIS. I then just threaded them on a headpin and attached the bag charm. Very simple, but very effective.

I was lucky to get one of these on the WBTA, he hangs on my purse. Everybody loves it. Thanks, Corinna.

Ok, I just booked our Nov 28, 2010, cruise yesterday. I am now looking to make something in the next few weeks to give out as our FE. We will probably do the can coozies again, but may also make an ornament for each family as we are sailing with the ship all decked out for Christmas. I can't wait to get to Michael's and get my ideas and supplies!

Therapy for life for me is crafting. My mom and I used to craft together. She passed away in June at the age of 62 from ovarian cancer. Dad is in his final days now (age 67-lymphoma), so the cruise along with FE is helping me achieve some balance between visits at the hospice house, planning a memorial, and everything else going on.

I just hope I can find just the right craft idea...our FE group is fairly small, and I was alllowed to join last minute, but that means I can do more pp than when in a larger FE group.

I just printed off some directions to make bracelets on Michaels.com. They have quite a few projects on there under 20 min or so to do if you want to check it out.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I really do understand what you are going through as I lost my parents within a year of each other. What our family did to celebrate my parents life was to reserve the Walt suite (my father's name was Walter) for a NYE cruise and spent Xmas at WDW. It was just too hard that first year without both of them to be at home so celebrating their life at the happiest place on earth was much better for all of us.

How sad to lose both parents in one year. NOT looking forward to the day.
What a great idea to be away for the holidays, I would think that Would make it easier to NOT be there where they always were. And what better place to be than Walts suite. IF ONLY........not on our budget.

Wouldn't have been on our budget either but I used some of the inheritance I received from my father's estate as a celebration of their life for our family.

Just got back this week from our first cruise and I made these to give for FE. I really hope people liked them.

WOW, super cute, I love those! It looks like the yellow mickey is a sponge ... what is the other one?

Very cute idea.
