Have fun playing with all these beads (photo originally taken in 2011).
Do you have the Mardi Gras spirit? Will you celebrate today? Will "Fat Tuesday" be the day before you fast? Share your T stories below. The photos don't have to be taken on Tuesday, and it's fairly obvious, they can be taken from your archives, as mine has been today. Please use the direct link to your T post, not your blog, so we can find you easily. And, whether you celebrate it or not, have a great Mardi Gras.
Edit: I found the comment box under Nikki's post this week, but in order to leave a comment, I MUST join Google +, which I am not willing to do. BTW, anyone other than the IRS who wants my year of birth can forget asking!
Hi again! Thanks for your comments on my blog. As far as your questions go, I have had older stickers lose their stickiness, on rare occasions. But I've also experienced times when stickers don't want to stick to slick or textured surfaces, so it could be the paint. I short, I don't really know why your stickers won't adhere, but both of your hypotheses sound plausible. :) I recommend glue or gel medium to stick them down, but you've probably already thought of that. :)
We don't have Mardi gras here, but next week we have a holiday called Moomba! Thanks for all your lovely comments on my digi drawing and my craft friends. I'm sure spring will come for you soon. We have gone back into Summer again. It will be warm still until mid april here!
Hello and Happy Tuesday! What a pretty picture this is, love all those beads. The teacup is very pretty as well.
No celebrating or anything going on here for us. Not sure about Lent yet.
Thank you for comments on my last post. You are so sweet, would love to have one of your cards or even trade with you. Will look thru yours and let you know, thinking I will love them all.
Now what kind of weekend has it been? You said something was going on, thought you might have it posted today. Hope everything is ok by now or better???
I am linked up and ready to visit everyone. Happy Mardi Gras to you.
Oooo! Happy Tuesday Elizabeth and Bleubeard of course. Pwetty beads. There was a time when I would have worn ALL of those at the same time! Oh to be young again! Hugs xx
Happy Fat Tuesday to you dear E!... Great festive photo with your pretty tea cup and beads!
To answer your recent question about the golden dots in my art journal pages...I used a wooden skewer to add droplets of the Golden's paint to both pages :)
Love this photo with all the colorful beads and pretty teacup. We won't be having donuts or celebrating Mardi Gras but a friend and I will be having a good time tonight:). Happy T day!
hi elizabeth love those colourful beads. i forgot to take a pic today to play along..... but i am joining in with lent ss usual this year.... im giving up chocolate andsweets for the full 6 weeks until easter...well done me , lots of smugness tobeen seen soon janet
Dear E~ thanks for linking me up today...I remembered to schedule my post, but didn't make it over to visit you until late afternoon. I too am not willing to give my birthday to Google so those folks whose comment section have a pop up asking for that info unfortunately don't get a comment from me. Love your mardi gras beads...makes me wish for some of that yeast bread with the baby hidden in it...is it called 'King' bread? It often has purple & green icing drizzled on top. Have a festive day my dear!
Mardi Gras? Really? I haven't hear any wild parties here. And FAST? What? No ... give me food! lol I do have to watch what and how much I eat nowadays. Those were the days when I could eat ice cream and potato chips for lunch and not worry about getting fat!
I finally made it!! wowsers. Tuesday was quite a day for me. Thankfully recovered enough from a stomach bug to go to my interview. More on that next week. I did manage a post....albeit one day late.
Nope! Never have followed Mardi Gras at all. But I was just thinking that maybe the boob flashing might have slowed down with everyone and their uncle having cameras to take pictures and videos--LOL! Well, maybe not. Alcohol does not increase brain cells. ;)

Bleubeard and I welcome you
Art, including the journey, background techniques, sewing on both paper and fabric, new experiments, photos, failures, and successes will be shared on this site. I have removed my e-mail address until such time as I can get it to work again. Thank you for understanding. You can always leave a note on my blog and I will visit you.
Please check out my Previous Collaborations link above to see what projects I have been involved in over the past 12 years. Current and ongoing projects only are shown below.
Occasionally, Silent Sunday will showcase photos of my home, neighborhood, or community. A picture is often worth a thousand words.
Feelfree to drop by every second Thursday of the month for my Second Thursday Tutorials. They are interspersed with my other Tutorials found at the link page above.
Click on any lesson you might have missed or want to review
Click on the above image daily and help feed hungry dogs and cats. You can donate cat litter, too. You simply answer two questions (one about cats and one about dogs), and whether your answer is correct or not, you have just donated kibble to help feed both shelter animals and those in need.
I will create the art, critique things I feel are important, and put pen (and sometimes glue) to paper, or fingers to keys, while Bleubeard will mostly watch, supervise, or sleep.

Happy Mardi Gras. I need to borrow some of your beads to wear with my red silk shawl. Always love a party or a parade.
