Colorful Mardi Gras 2012

Here is the new Butterfly King float from the Rex parade.

Next is a picture of me (in the middle) with my family on Mardi Gras Day.

I did manage to catch a coconut from the Zulu parade.

My sweet future daughter-in-law enjoyed her third New Orleans Mardi Gras.   She caught 2 coconuts and some pretty beads.

 
So many colorful pictures ....

Happy Mardi Gras 2012

I'm at Mardi Gras in New Orleans with my family and camera.  

Valentines for ME!

I am a lucky lady to have such crafty and talented friends who swapped Valentines with me.   Here they are:

Here are the school children's Valentines they gave me:

 Ellen made Mardi Gras accordion cards for all of us instead of Valentines. It sure looks pretty snazzy on my mantle.

Valentine Card Swap

Today I am participating in a Valentine Card Swap.   I could have made all 10 of them the same but I decided to do a variety instead.   Here are some of the ones I'll be swapping away.  I'll post later with the ones I received.  Fun times.

Cards for Guys

It is so much easier to make girly birthday cards but I challenged myself to make some masculine ones this week.

Here is the card I made my nephew, Daniel, for his 13th birthday.
