I'm the one who actually made these. I bought a package of magnets from Michaels and glued on the back.

Another question.....how do I make the marbleized pictures....from someone's site?

Noticed you live in "Scotty McCreey's hometown"......just outside of Raleigh! I live north of Raleigh! So happy he's made it to the final 2! He is such a fine well-mannered young man! Hope he wins! WAHOO! :cheer2:
 
We did a variety of things for our Fish Extenders earlier this month. Every cabin got a baggie of Canadian chocolate. Although some people received a bag of "fun size" versions. Thought it would be easier for the kids to each get their own mini Aero, etc... I designed the banners in Adobe Illustrator.

DD and I also cut and print some magnets on my Imagine.

Different cabins received different items but several got little notebooks or blank cards.

DD loved the fish extender. It was one of the highlights of her cruise!
 
We were on your cruise Canadian girl and met you at the Dis meet. Thank you for the chocolates - I was wondering how you did the bag toppers? We also got a Fairies pin which we have just placed on her lanyard. And we got a pirate themed card and Mickeys magnets - how did you cut those Mickey heads out? I really like your Disney Cards and my try making these myself, any tips?
We realy enjoyed the FE, DD was always checking. Hope you had a great cruise.
We did a goody bag of chocolates from the UK but I'm not sure how to post pictures, we put a UK flag peg on the top and I made some Disney Magic keyrings (my first attempt!) which we attatched to the bag. We did different sweet bags for the kids and put their names on the front with Mickey Heads. Then each child got an extra goody bag with all sorts in - colouring set (had to put these on the fish as wouldn't go in the FE, card game, stickers, notepads, mini nail varnish etc, each wrapped with a pirate name tag. If I can work out how to post pictures of the chocs I will, but I didn't photograph the kids goody bags.
 
Emjoying everyone's gifts they have made. I have started my FE gifts for Dec 2012 for the ladies. No idea howmany will be on the cruise.

Thank you so much for these! We enjoyed them much! I immediately commandeered the notebook! I made the Mickey Hacky Sack, mustache, and flowered headband! We also gave PJ's for the few babies on our FE but those were certainly not handmade!

We so loved this too! DS loved getting something that was labeled to just him! The key chains we got are hanging on our key pegs so we can see them all the time! So well done! I loved our FE exchange! I will try to post pics of mine too...

Yep, we are hanging together. Yes, we did. I didn't make handmade for the small ones-not very talented!

Those links were flung around every part of the ship, he loves them! THe only place they weren't flung - thankfully - was overboard and he goes for them everytime he is on the floor playing! So thank you for keeping our son entertained! PJ's were great too.
 
Here is my homemade FE...Each of picked a theme for our pocket and then I made the pocket...DH wanted steamboat willie, I wanted Mary Poppins, and DS wanted Pirates (the pocket says Yo Ho Ho A Pirates Life For Me)..I am not that crafty but I enjoyed this...

The reason we picked those up was because our son loved those at that age and I mean loved! Heck, there is prob one or two in the bottom of the toy box now...

OMG...so sorry my pics are so big....
 
Here are a few items of what I am making.
If your on the OCT 30th Cruise don't look. :goodvibes

They are tags that can be hung anywhere. I figured the kids can use it after the cruise to hang on backpacks or anything else they would like. The Disers in the rooms get the DIS ID cards with the keyrings. DISers can wear them on the boat in their lanyards or use the keyrings to hang them off whatever they wish so they can be noticed. Nice ID card they can use on other trips too as they are laminiated. :thumbsup2

I thought it was a cute gift, let me know if you like it or not.
Thought a homemade gift was better then buying something off the shelf.
Hope my fellow cruisers like them.

This is how I made the tags. I took images off google images. Copy and transfered them into Paint on my computer to add the names and resize the pictures. I copied it from there to Word so I could save it on my computer. I printed the images on Kodak glossy picture paper using Kodak AiO Home Center program and selected the wallets size. I then used ID laminating sheets and an iron to laminate the tags. Then finally used my hole punch to add the hole. :goodvibes


What size did you resize them to? They all look perfectly uniform. Beautiful job!

In photobucket:
Go to the picture you uploaded and when you hoover over the picture, you will open a drop down window with several choices. Click on the last choice in that dropdown and it will say "copied" . Then simply paste into a post here.

Did you upload your pics somewhere yet? If not...most of the people are using Photobucket service which is free and after uploading you get links which you need to copy and post here using "Insert Image" icon above this text window where you are typing your message.
