Judith, I am obsessed with this incredible Mardi Gras creation! All the embellishments and stitching, so amazing! I love the little masks and beads and coins, you've really captured this celebration for sure. I only hope my photos will do it justice, thank you so much!!

Wow! That is really nice!
I will be sending mine out to Gail either Monday or Tuesday. I have to go down to the Bay area for a consultation for my teeth.
I love that blue!

I got the bestest from Jill. She really thinks outside the box; I love the creativity. She sewed a roll-up with all kinds of games in it, a mug rug, an Eiffel Tower with chocolates, and the cutest little voodoo doll. I have been trying to post a picture of it since it arrived with no success, but I will try one more time. Keeping my fingers crossed...... Drat -- this is the message I keep getting: 500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Anyway -- Thank you Jill! The roll will go up to the trailer with us. We play games after dinner and are getting tired of Yahtzee so this is a welcome addition.

Joan -- just opened up your box with the amazing embellished mini wall hanging. Wherever did you find all those colorful bits and pieces. It is simply awesome. Will try to get pix later today or tomorrow. My project is a bit behind schedule . . . life has gotten in the way. You know how it does sometimes. Will get it out as soon as I possibly can. In the meantime, thanks again. I LOVE it. And I am wearing the gorgeous beads as I type this. Farmgirl hugs, jean

Jean, I am so glad you liked it. I have been saving "stuff" for as long as I can remember. I would buy bags of items like those in a big bag at Good Will for $3 or $4 whenever I saw one. My Aunt Mary was visiting about 5 years ago & sorted them by color so it was easy to pull the colors together I needed. I do hope you will post a picture as I forgot to take one before sending it....lol. It will be a surprise when it comes. Happy you like the beads as well!

It's a PARTAY !!! ~~~~~ Debbie set me up to "Roll Out the Good Times" right here in my own home. Her swap included everything from a mask & decorations to a recipe for the dinner entre' - (alcohol is not permitted in the mail). She painted a very cool clam shell with the Mardi Gras theme. Oh- and chocolate too? What a treat it was to receive Debbie's Mardi Gras swap.

MARDI GRAS QUIZ 1. What does the French term Mardi Gras mean? 2. In 1872, the official colors of Mardi Gras (purple, green and gold) were established to honor a visiting member of a royal family. What country was he from? 3. What do these colors stand for? 4. Mardi Gras didn't originate in Louisiana but in which Southern state? 5. "King Cakes" traditionally are baked with what object hidden inside?
Quiz answers are posted at the end of the original "Let the Good Times Roll" swap on page 1 of this thread.

Jill -- I thought you might like to know that the coins on the mini quilt are from Mardi Gras in 1981 when Mom and Dad visited New Orleans. Mom was in a wheelchair and they threw a lot of coins and beads her way.

It is Fat Tuesday and even though there will be no Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans we can still Let The Good Times Roll. Thanks for the fun swap Jean.

I read that instead of decorating floats for parades the people are decorating their houses. I did a google search for Mardi Gras 2021 and sure enough there are pictures of houses and yards decorated.

LOVE the pix Julie.
Yes Judith. I saw that too. Resourceful folks down there in Nawlins. I have been trying to take some overdue photos to post on this and other swap sites. However, between my ancient ailing cell phone and my ancient ailing body, I am not having much success. Will keep trying. I especially want you to see the exquisite little wall hanging that JoanP made for me. Hope y'all are doing something a little special to celebrate Mardi Gras today. Let the good times roll.

Julie - Did you get your package from me? It was supposed to be to you by this past weekend? Jean - I sent something to you as well and the Post office said you were both supposed to receive it by this past Saturday?
I had my daughter be sure to have them shipped out last week and check with the post office so they would make it to you both before Mardi Gras.

My daughters made us a Mardi Gras dinner tonight. My Youngest Lizi is the Blonde in front of me and my oldest Morgan is behind me. We had Jambalaya, Dirty Rice, Beignets, King Cake and Swamp Punch. (They made me a Vegan Rice with Veggies and a Mini-Vegan King Cake) The Grand Kids all had Fun we listened to Cajun Music and the kids watched the Princes and the Frog. It was our Last time getting together for a while because my oldest daughter will have to quarantine from me for the next 10 weeks because of my Son in law's new EMT/Firefighter Rotation in the City. They won't guarantee his Covid Testing and he may be exposed because he may have to go on Calls that involve Covid cases this rotation. We want Her and our Grandkids to come stay with us - at least let us keep the grandkids during this time but they are going to have him quarantine in part of their house and think that will be safe enough but don't want to risk it with being around me... The whole thing makes me crazy but at least we were able to be all together tonight and had a good time!!!
