They are both mickey soaps. Each one is a different scent.

I think on one of these pages ... way back ... I saw that someone had made Christmas ornaments and had used a personalized ribbon on them (wording on the ribbon was written in the Disney font, if I recall).

Does anyone know where I might buy such ribbon?

Much thanks!

EDITED: I was able to go back and find it ... someone else asked the same questions. The answer: party innovations online.

OMG, these are all soooooo amazing!! I can't even begin to imagine what I might make (for 2012, LOL).... but the talent I've just seen has me thinking that I should pay someone on here to make my stuff for me!!

My wife works for a hotel chain, so I got the bottles from there and ripped the old labels off. There is a great online store that sells labels by the sheet...so I bought like only 5 clear oval label sheets for the bottles. Nice I didn't have to buy in bulk!

Funny thing is I don't consider myself very creative at all lol!

Adorable and clever!

(I would guess they are both soap.)

Where did you find the Disney font?

 

[ppiew]

Lots of personalized ribbon sites on internet. just google and you will find them

Where did you find the Disney font?

I was mistaken. The ribbon on that site didn't have the Disney font available.

I know the font is available online somewhere - I think it's called the Walt font

... but I'm not technically savvy enough to be able to get it.

Just install them into your windows font directory.

Oh, thank you!!!!

... we'll see how this goes ... (wish me luck)

HEY! I downloaded the Walt font and it worked like a charm!!!

How exciting is that?!?! Thank you!!!!!!!

I can't send a "woo hoo hoo hoo!!" note to the group of people I'm traveling with 'cuz I was somewhat reprimanded the other day for cluttering up their mailboxes with my "we sail in 7 weeks" "now it's only 6 weeks" "can you believe in 5 weeks we'll be on the boat" emails. What can I say? They should have known I was a Disney-freak when they signed up! They need to count their blessings that I didn't start the countdown at 104 weeks, when we booked!

Ok, so I might have slipped an extra one in when we hit November "we sail THIS month!!" and again when GMA was having their segment on The Dream yesterday (which btw, was quite a disappointing segment).

... so I thought I'd share my font enthusiasm with y'all. (thanks for tolerating me)

Anyway -- it's VERY easy to download for any of the rest of you who want to give it a try. If I can do it, I know you can!

Thanks again for sharing!

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 was thinking about doing coozies... but had no luck in finding them in small quantities- I want the "flat" ones like you did... would you please share where you found them? By the way, I am sorry to hear about your mom and your dad, glad to hear that you guys planned this last minute vacation.

How do I install them into my windows font directory? So far, I download and then I'm asked if I want to save it or if I want to use it. I guess I have to save it, but where? I use windows XP. Thanks a lot,

Just save it anywhere for now, such as your Program Files. Once saved, when you click on the .ttf file there should be a button that says "install." Just click on this button and it should install in your font directory immediately.

I hope this helps you!

Here is the promised photo of the earrings my DW made for our FE exchange. This is just a small sampling, but gives an idea of what she has.

I wish I could do this... I tried, but haven't come out

I am trying to find some ideas on what to give teen-aged boys on our cruise. I was thinking of making some bookmarks with pirate skulls on them, but DH says "if I were a teenage guy, I'd throw that away." Nice, huh?!

My DS isn't a teen yet (he says he's a "keen" "kid & teen"), he just turned 11. So, does anyone on this thread have teen aged boys that really enjoyed their FE gifts? What did they enjoy most?

TIA!!!

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

Can you tell me where you got the mickey soap mold? I have been looking everywhere for one!

WOW! Where did you get the little bags??????

VERY CUTE!!
