OMG awesome! I love these!!! I wish I had an embroidery machine... that look so great!
Good work!
Good work!
WOW, those are all awesome! I love the pirate shirts and have been trying to find something like that for my dd for pirate night.
My wife works from home and truly LOVES her embroidery machine (its a brother innov 1250D). I got it for her in January for her birthday.
Pm me. My wife has been known to make them and send with some pixie dust to those who would enjoy them as much as our kids do!
Here are our homemade FE gifts for our upcoming cruise! I will not say which cruise! Also, my wife is on the board more then me so she made me use my screen name to post the pics to try and keep it a secret until after our cruise!
For the boys, pirate T-Shirts:
For the girls and ladies, necklaces:
For the little girls, hair clips:
For older boys and men, flashlight keychains:
And finally for each stateroom a bag:
My wife has had so much fun making these and we cannot wait to pass them out! We are going to pass them out the first day or two so people can use/wear them on the cruise!
Well I am thoroughly impressed with so many handmade items on this thread and am absolutely NOT crafty in any way.
However, I do love my home state of Oregon and am a photographer in my spare time, so I decided to create photo postcards of various photos of Oregon I took this and last year, and am hoping that DISers can use them to mail cards to each other after the trip is over!
I had a heck of a time trying to find cellophane bags that fit my 5 x 7 cards, so I was not able to put them in anything fancier than a ziploc. {Sigh}
However, I did put thought into them so I hope that counts for something...

Hi DisneyDad2boys!
Does your wife sell these on ebay or etsy or anything? It looks like the bags said Wonder so I know we're not on your cruise (we're on the Dream)! lol
This is our first cruise so I'm trying to do all the fun things for my boys!
We are traveling in a little over a month and I have been looking for something for my little guys (8 & 10) that's not too babyish but not too scary and not skull and crossbones etc. for pirate night.
I would LOVE the shirts with the Mickey heads and bandanas or the Mickey heads and swords...I'm trying to get matching but not exactly the same, shirts for my guys! I'm not too crafty so I don't know where to start.
I would be willing to pay if she would make one for each of them??
I can't PM on here because I'm too new but maybe you can email me?

If she can't, I totally understand!
Thanks for any help!
DISNEY FANTASY JULY 7, 2012 DONT READ!!
I do need advice on something from everyone else.....it is below in white. Please help!
I found small puzzles for a good price with 25-50 pieces in them. I had a plan that my family and I discussed....please follow along.
I would take one puzzle and label all the pieces with a number one, the seond puzzle would be all number twos on each piece, ect. Then I would give each family a puzzle box with all assorted pieces, which they would leave in their fish extender. To get your puzzle pieces back you would have to get them out of the containers when you take your present to each FE at each room. I would tell each family you have all number 3 pieces and ect. I would also send each puzzle witha note explaining how to finish you scavenger hunt for all of your pieces! Is this a dumb idea? I want something creative....and just cannot find anything to do. HELPPP!

My concerns would be what if the "pieces" got lost, stolen or misplaced, then there goes your gift. What if DH or the kids just bring all the FE gifts inside and dont' sort through to see that they are supposed to keep the pieces in their FE?
Also, I don't like the idea of people rummaging through my FE. I think I would prefer folks to just drop the gifts off, not digging into it to find the pieces or looking at everything that is in my FE.
I like the creativity but this wouldn't be my choice.
Just my 2 cents.

I agree, this wouldn't be my choice. Too many things could go wrong. And do people really want to put that much work into geting the pieces for a puzzle while they're paying quite a bit of money for the cruise? For our FE exchange I plan to just drop the bag of gifts in the FE and move on to the other staterooms. I want to do this as quickly as possible.
