Homemade FE Gifts Photo Thread

I had more than 50 guesses! That was so much fun! But GerberDaisy1234 finally won with her guess of a dry erase board! She did get ONE of the accessories correct. It comes with a magnetic dry/erase marker with an attached eraser and a magnet to hold paper notes or photos if you wish.

Here is the finished product:

Hello all! My mother, MomOfCTurp, and I just finished our FE tonight for our trip! We wanted to share photos of our homemade Fish Extender. We are sailing on March 10-13th on the Dream!

Our completed Fish Extender:

First pocket (My pocket)

Third Pocket (My mothers pocket)

We can't wait until Thursday!

Great job on the homemade FE!!

Thanks Stephanie--
Let's see if this works.

We created personalized and decorated mini photo albums - each holds about 28 4x6 photos and are covered in black fabric with hard covers. I photo shopped the picture on the cover to include our cruise info and then laminated them so that people could either replace them with their own photo (and then use the laminate as a magnet or luggage tag) or leave it as the cover image. We inserted them in clear cellophane bags and closed them with "Disney-themed" ribbons. I think they were really cute and i hope people use them.

Very cute!

Spiffie,
What a fantastic idea!

Was the tin a pain to work with?

Phew! The 'what is it' torment is over!

Love the finished product!

Spiffie,

Tweevil,

Thanks! I work with tin all the time (other art) so I am used to it, but I totally recommend cutting a few pieces a day. Your hands get very tired! With the right tin snippers, it is easier but the tin is sharp so you have to be careful!!

Phew! The 'what is it' torment is over!

Love the finished product!

Campinggal,

Thank you! I am sorry you were tormented! Forgive me?

Oh man, I sent you a PM with my guess - then kept reading and found GerberDaisy1234 beat me to it! I'm so jealous!

Campinggal,

Thank you! I am sorry you were tormented! Forgive me?

Hahahahaha...no worries...and you are certainly forgiven. I loved the game, as I love most puzzles...and it was a hard one that I couldn't crack!

I agree with campinggal, I love puzzles and this was fun.

MRP, I am so sorry I beat you to it.

Spiffie, I was just excited to solve and was not worried about you mailing me one but my DS was so proud of me this morning when I showed him and he was excited about us getting one. (I just showed my DD and she thought it was pretty cool too.) So I will pm you. And I would like to send you one of the FE gifts that we make for our cruise in return. We do LOVE receiving "Mickey Mail" so much that occasionally I order pins from ebay just to get it. LOL

Thanks for the surprise game in the middle of one of my favorite threads. So many ideas to choose from but I think we know which one we are going to do.

 

[sorul82?]

we need some more guessing games

Ok. I'll play! I made some other things for our cruise. I will give some hints and the first 4 people that guess it correctly will get one. No beginning photos just hints.

I will use it every day on the cruise. It can be used at home, too. It is personalized. While you can get them on the ship for free, mine is bigger and better - and well - it has my name on it!

FINAL UPDATE

I HAD FOUR WINNERS VERY QUICKLY! THEY ARE - CALDISFANS, MELLERS, CARSTINKMOM AND SHERYL921

HERE IS A SAMPLE

THANKS FOR PLAYING!!

I have a while before our cruise but I started putting together our fe gifts. Here's my rough draft. I still need to print on good paper and to bind it. (I hope I have the right link)

if your on the dream 11/27-12/1 don't peek!!!

We went February 27, 2011 to March 6, 2011 on the Disney Wonder to the Mexican Riviera. These are the goodies that we made for our fish extenders...we had over 90 people, so we wanted to do something that everyone (children and adults alike) would love!

I thought these were cool, were one of my fave gifts. Had no idea you could get personalised m&m's! Thanks so much.

I did bottle top magnets (metal for adults, plastic for kids), bookmarks and phone charms that were either pirate themed or had letter beads that were disney themed. There was also a few other things I put in peoples, as I had bought stuff before then deciding to do homemade!

Do you have any pics? Where did you get the bottle top magnets?

 

[Luckymomoftwo]

I also made bottle cap necklaces for each child. The boys got pirates, girls are pirate also, but personalized with their initial.

OMG...Please share how you made these! I'd love to try something like that.
