OK if you are on the 4/1 sailing of the WONDER - look away now!

I got all the ideas for our stuff here on this board, so they probably look similar to stuff you have seen. We are pretty happy with how everything turned out. I don't have pics of the friendship bracelets we made, I'll post those later.

1st up - post it note holders (made from acrylic frames)

I would prefer something that isnt store bought.

Well, what are your talents? I'm not very artistically enclined either lol
Sometimes simple beading works wonders! ^_^

Lovely! Woodburn Tulip Festival? I love taking a drive up there and spending some time with my camera!

Did you try Michael's for the cello bags? I found some there for my last cruise's FEs that fit a 8.5" x 5.25" scrapbook. I looked all over the store before I asked for them.

Actually, they were red clovers in a field by our house last May-- we get a huge influx of red clovers in late spring that are beautiful! I have taken pictures at the tulip festival (where my DH and I got engaged) and love early morning sunrises there.

I haven't made it up there for a sunrise yet. I'm really not a morning person, at all. Some of my favorite pictures of my kids were taken there.

Here are some homemade gifts I gave for our FE... I make bling shirts and such, so of course I had to spread the sparkly love to my FE.

The first was a big zipper topped bag that I gave each family on the first night:

...and then pirate shirts were given to the kids only the night before Pirate Night. Girls got the bling, boys got the vinyl.

I had such a blast preparing and putting these together. My FE group was so much fun - I hope they all enjoyed it as much as I did. I also gave some pirate necklaces and zipper pulls that I'd bought on Etsy and then also some post it note holders that I made, but sadly can't find the pictures of.

LOVE your bling stuff. How do you "make" bling shirts??

 

[ge0rgette2]

Nice!

 

[binab]

Thanks for the compliments - it was really fun!

Silence - all of those are awesome! Love those friendship bracelets!

There is a process to making the bling - but it's pretty easy if you have the right tools and the supplies. Basics are an electronic cutter, good design software, and a heatpress. Everything else is consumables... Of course you don't need any of that if you want to hand place the stones, but that could take forever.

Search YouTube, you'll find tons of info about it. I warn you though, it's addicting!

I have gotten some good ideas. It has been a while since we've done a Disney cruise and therefore a FE. We live in the Tampa area. What might be some suggestions for things from our area that we could give as FE gifts or incorporate into things to make? I asked DH for candy ideas, but he looked at me like I was nuts. TIA.

Hi Sherry-

I've done taste of Florida little bags with salt water taffy in it with orange and key lime flavors, some coconut patties. I've included key lime pie postcard recipes and postcard from where we're from (Treasure Island).

I just love seeing all of these *amazing* gifts! I hope our cruise meet group grows so we can do a FE exchange. We're sailing in August and there are two of us in it. *sigh* My children and I would love to participate in this fun.

Me too... I'm starting to lose hope for having a FE group for my July cruise. Hope we both get some more people!

 

[eeyoremommy]

That's a good idea Fivepin. We love going over to TI. We're actually in Wesley Chapel, but I am sure my DS 8 would not mind a beach day.

I'm with both of you... We have a few people on our cruise meet thread for out Sept cruise and a couple of them do want to do a FE exchange, but a couple of others have had to cancel their cruise so I'm really hoping we get a few more people who want to participate.. My children are sooo looking forward to the FE so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
