Heather, I'm thinking of you and your Mom this morning, hoping all is well and already over and done with!

 

[justmestace]

I made one FE item just the other day. I'm not at all crafty...so trust me, it isn't all that great. But you'll find it on your doors...not in the FE.

 

[itdjbw]

Wow you guys have been busy posting away here
I am hoping to get my FE's done this week (mostly by DD) while the kids are on spring break.
I really haven't been giving the cruise much thought - too busy keeping up with work and looking at schools etc but that is all behind us for the moment.

Welcome to all the newbies.
Stacey - thanks for the list for the FE - I'm sure that will save me lots of time.
I still haven't made a FE - so need to get cracking on that as I haven't found anything to use to make making one easier

Have a great week all

Hey for all you newbies who don't know much about FE's, dont get scared off due the fact some on us do spent alittle more coin, than others. FE's is like secret santa, just go to the dollar store buy something cute or silly. Its just really nice to get a gift every couple of days. A bonding experience if you must, durning these trying days in the nation with alot of people who are not working not to no fault of their own (like me) The almighty buck is streched pretty thin. Just join us with your marshmellow peeps or whatever you find and lets us forget our mainland problems and Party

Some of the best presents I get at Chrismas are hand-made. I'm not that crafty (I ordered my FE online). Its is truly the thought that counts.

I've gotten a couple of Fish Extenders on eBay. I think you have to search under "Over the door hanging organizer".....because I can't sew a stitch.

Me either!!

I bought my fish extender on ebay. I'm sure it will be great when she's done with it, but oh my word it's taking forever. When I wrote to check on it, she said she was working on 6 others. She said she'd move mine to the front if I was sailing soon, but I said I just needed it by May!

Guessing we may have gotten ours from the same seller. She told me the same thing- she was busy and working on several; but I must say that I already got mine about 2 weeks ago and I just love it!! I'm sure you'll get yours soon! I had to order one for my mum's cabin and sent here the fabric etc....can't wait for our cruise. talk to you all soon...gotta run....

We probably did!! I'm not worried...yet!!

I'm also waiting on dd's passport. We got it back a couple of days ago, and they had her as a male!!

So we had to send her passport and birth certificate back. They said we'd get them back in one or two weeks. We'll see!!

The ones I've gotten weren't special made. I think they were meant to be in a baby's bedroom holding diapers and such. But I have one that I love, it's Mickey snorkeling! They usually have lots of them with Winnie the Pooh, and lately I think they've had a bunch with The Incredibles or some such.

 

[justmestace]

Like this one with Minnie Mouse. It's $2.99 using "Buy It Now".
I may have to buy this one myself!

Very well said...I was scared off by the fact that I didn't know what kind of gifts to get for all these people and the money involved...maybe next time (if I can convince my DH there should be a next time)!! And I am just not that creative

 

[wmjivey]

Actually I was hoping to get lots of Peeps I just love peeps, especially roasting peeps over a campfire is a great treat, but no fires where we are going, so cheap after Easter clearence sale peeps for me please, if you don't have little airplane bottles that is, not that I am particular, but I do like presents, Oh How I love to get those little things every other day. I have fight my boys for them, I am so glad I out weigh them by a hundred pounds, but I digress...............

The trick is to check the FE before they come back from the Kids Club, or get up really early in the morning and beat them to it!

You guys are too funny

 

[goofygal1975]

Hey everyone! We got up bright and early yesterday! Mom's alarm didn't go off...so she didn't wake up until it was time to leave...LOL. They weren't able to put the port in where they wanted to, but did find another spot in her arm. She was fine yesterday, up and about some, but slept most of the day. Today the arm hurts some, but she does have meds to help. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!!

Yes, the FE cut off should be tomorrow, Wednesday. That is the offical 45 day mark!! Can you believe it??? I have to work on FE gifts. I have to say we used things that we had around, as well. And just ordered a few things. I'd normally do more, but with the $$ issues this year I had to scale back. It will still be fun to give and receive gifts on the cruise!!

Thank you Heather! I don't want to speak for them, but I will in case she doesn't check back in before then so - 2136 will not want drinks either.

 

[justmestace]

Funny, I thought for sure WINOtracy would have "no drinks" after her name.
