I had a great time reading this thread and late last night got an idea for our own door sign for our July cruise. Thanks for the inspiration! I also want to thank the Creative DISign board for all the help on how to find clip art, post pics, design ideas, etc. Truly helpful Dissers...much Mahalo!

I'm sure this is just the beginning Though my DH is starting to give me funny looks That's okay....I'll make him a special grumpy sign

I love the signs BUT, maybe I am paranoid but, for example, the above sign has the last name, dates they will be gone from their home, and location of where they live in their tag.

Too much information IMHO. Please tell me I'm wrong but it just hit me as I was reading this thread.

I tend to agree somewhat.
We are going on a cruise in June and it will be both DS and DD birthdays. I planned on putting birthday signs on the doors but I really didn't want to use their names...they are only 10 and 7. Anyway, I figured I would make something up special with their private little nicknames that we use at home... and as far as our name on the door I thought I would just use our last name.... and leave it at that.

I have spent all morning looking at this thread! My husband and boys think I have lost my mind! I can't wait to get started on a design or two. I will have to borrow Magic Artist from my neighbor that we gave it to for this project. I am going to try and incorporate some special designs that are exclusive to us and Ohioans. For example we are big Bengal fans so I will try to use that somehow. I also want to try and work in our high school marching band logo. My guys may be right, I just might have lost my mind!

Shelly -

I am a designer on the DISigns board and I am from Cincinnati - I have made several bengal shirts for my DH, DS and Nephew this year - I just thought I would share them with you too!! I have one with the bengal in the background that says who dey on it if you are interested in one like that - it is on my other computer so I can't get to it right now

my apologies to any steelers fans - this is what my nephew wore to his superbowl party

Here is our sign from a recent 4-day cruise. I had read some of this post and got the kids involved to make our sign before we left. The Mickey's are from Home Depot. We just glued some Xmas tinsle to them along with old cut-up fridge magnets. The boat is simply printed on plain paper. I used the Disney font too. It really helped to identify our room in an otherwise long hallway of similar looking doors, but from what I could tell ours was the only door on the entire boat that was decorated. That was a bit of a surprise and letdown... and of course DW thought I was crazy!

I am so excited! I'm gathering items for my MIL's door. I found a castle picture door cover (I'll cut out a hole for the stateroom number). On a light pink background is a white castle with a nice size path in front of it. There happened to be a Disney princess calendar for 75% off. So, what I'm going to do is, cut out the princess' and stick them on the castle door cover! I might put a phrase like, Celebrating my birthday Princess Style some where on the door w/ a gold glitter pen. I'm not going to tell my MIL. She'll just have to discover her decorated door.

Gathering door sign items has helped the time go a little faster. We got a great new printer too. A HP 4600 (I think thats the right one). Its awesome, the print quality is incredible. I can't wait to print out our door signs!

Julia & Nicks Mom,

Thank you for those! I am slowly collecting pictures and will be getting to work on my door magnets as soon as I get past my sons graduation and party. Too much to do, too little time!

Third tip: use the Home Depot paint chips...they are great!

Ok I am sorry, but maybe I am just having a brain freeze, but what is a paint chip from Home Depot. I know it cant be what it sounds like and must be the mickey heads but I just want to make sure, and what department in home depot would one go to

3/3/06: Occasionally, DISers will ask, How do I post my pictures?, below are instructions I've been distributing.

First find a photo hosting site. I like free so mine is photobucket.com. You can use Yahoo and even the DIS. From photobucket you have to register. Then, when you are ready to upload picture(s) click the browse button. It will pull up your computer directory. find the photo you want to upload and press the "submit" button. Your picture should appear on the bottom of the screen. What you'll want to do next is highlight the
