High Five for a Fun Week!

This week was both short AND fun with a President's Day on Monday and a company holiday yesterday (Doesn't get much better than that!). Next week will be another short week because I am taking Friday off so we can drive down to FL to get on our cruise!

  1. I was definitely a busy little bee finishing up the FE gifts. I can now officially say, they are all made! I'm so excited with how everything turned out! I made bows for the girls, key chains for the women, embroidered coozies for the men and bought little Styrofoam airplanes for the boys.
  2. On Wednesday, we had a company dinner at Maggiano's and they gave us a 3 liter bottle of wine at the end! It of course deserved a photo op!
  3. This picture of Milo cracks me up. I feel like he is going to yell at me.
  4. I went on a coozie making binge and decided to make them for the ladies at work. Here are a few of ours in action!
  5. Last Friday I met my mom at the local winery, La Grange and even though it was cold and cloudy, the view doesn't get much better than that. It's so nice to have such beautiful scenery just a few miles away from our house.

Fish Extender Gifts Part 1

Remember how I showed you how to make a fish extender for your upcoming cruise? Well now that you have a holder for all those cute and thoughtful gifts you'll receive, it's time to make gifts for your fish extender friends!

I started by brainstorming ideas for each person on my list. I decided to split it up by men, women, girls and boys. Simple enough, right?

Today I will show you how I made the womens' gifts. I chose to make cute, fabric key fobs with Disney cruise ribbon I found on Etsy.


Here's what you will need:
8" of ribbon
8" of webbing (you can get it here)
Key ring set
Pliers
Scissors
Sewing machine

1.  Cut your ribbon and webbing to 8", (you can choose any length depending on your preference) then pin the ribbon on top of the webbing.


2.  Simply sew up both sides if the ribbon


3.  Now fold in half and sew the edges together


4.  Place your key fob set over top the sewn edge and press down with your pliers.


5.  Attach the key ring and there you have it! A cute personable, handmade gift in just 5 simple steps!
I can't wait to put these in every one's FE's! Even better, you can make them with any ribbon for a variety of occasions.
