The Bead Fairy Cometh!

I haven't updated this in a while... We have been busy busy!

We have our plans for the float already in action. What is it you ask? You will have to wait until parade day to find out! We have costumes ordered and pieces are arriving by mail almost daily. Beads and other throws have been ordered and have already arrived and are waiting for the bead sorting party tomorrow. And the bead fairy keeps visiting me! I must be a good girl :)

I will periodically check my mailbox in the G&A Culture Hearth and to my surprise I have gotten several deliveries of Mardi Gras beads from the bead fairy! Its like Christmas during Mardi Gras! Some of the beads are pretty awesome. There was totally a set that reminds me of the 80's. Now I have to figure out how to get all of these in my car tomorrow. At least there isn't a seminar to work around on top of it all.

Here is a picture of us doing "inventory" of beads and costumes. :)

Quest Givers!

We had a meeting of the Chiefs yesterday and ironed out all of the kinks with this years krewe. Got a lot done even with all the A.D.D moments that were flying around through the air. Drafted a bunch of emails that are to be sent out shortly, I am very pleased with my quest themed email :) We are hoping to inventory everything by the end of the week (hopefully with some help) to figure out where we stand with ordering new supplies.

We are currently looking for participants and organizers to complete the merry fun-making of this years parade!

Until next time... happy questing!
