...I would like to decorate my cabin door. I was wondering how I make the magnets and if I need a special computer program to do this?...
I actually use MS Word - everyone tells me this is the hard way, but that's what I've got and learned how to manipulate. Wish I could figure out some other program to utilize to do graphics. I'm on a Mac - they're supposed to be easy.
I've used Minnie for our last few cruises, but the parts got damaged beyond repair on the way home from the last WBTA.
Swithering what to print out too, I love Stitch, but wondering whether to stick with Mickey or Minnie..... the indecisive libran in me will ponder this one for months
You've got 2 weeks - why not have a week of each?
I use art I've found here and various places on the 'Net, and print it on the magnetic sheets. I put multiple pictures on each sheet and cut them up. I usually do a couple of test runs on regular paper, though, to make sure I've got it right.
We can do this anyway we want to. I like the idea of doing gifts for all the cabins, but I also know I've got budget limits, too. I like the multiple groups idea, but I think we need to wait a bit before we decide how many staterooms per group (remember, not everyone is a "family") to see what our total will be.
We can do it this way, but I really don't like the idea of imposing too many "rules" on this. I'd rather let people do it when it's convenient for them, rather than assigning days. On our last trip, some people gave a little thing more than once (we left something every day, but again, only a 4-nighter), and some did it just once.
I'd also prefer to leave the one-gift-per-cabin vs. one-gift-per-person up to the individuals. Again, I don't like to tell everyone how they have to do it. Sorry, I'm not very "rules" oriented when it comes to something that's supposed to be fun and creative.
But that's just MHO. We can always vote and see what the majority wants.
I killed two printers feeding magnetic paper through - now I print on photo paper (crisp images), cold laminate and then attached magnetic backing.
I like groups of 12 cabins - then if anybody wants to have a bigger group, then can sign up for multiple FE groups. Never seen it done this way before, but it makes a lot of sense, especially in this day of baggage limits.
And I am so much a "this is supposed to be fun" concept with FEs and we're on vacation - no way would I want to be told I have to deliver on certain days. Might not mesh with my relaxation time.
was just having a look at one of the other cruise threads that a woman from work is on, lynne, are you doing the aug 27th cruise too? if so, sounds like you're going to have an awesome trip!
Technically still booked on that sold-out cruise, but in practicality not doing it. Booked my flight into London on Aug 31 to visit my niece in her Law school semester in London program, over to Bath for a weekend, then to DLP before two pre-cruise days in Barcelona. Still going to have an awesome trip, but not a 2-cruise vacation. Still hoping to get another cruise into my schedule to be Platinum Castaway Club before online Remy bookings for the Fantasy M/V in March.
