We started on Thursday morning and served lunch and dinner for all three days. The food was wonderful and each member only had to work in the kitchen only once - for setup and serving or for cleanup.

This was the sign over the kitchen entrance. We also had Mardi Gras beads and beads and beads! We had a small Mardi Gras parade around the room and ended up near the goodie bags. Of course they also had beads attached. Once we opened them, we found a few surprises.
Dave had filled a jar with cotton candy, which was a jar filled with little pieces of fabric and a pattern to make a quilt. You need to add black and white fabrics but it turns out to be a great quilt. He actually made the quilt and gave it away. He had put numbers on the bottom of each jar and pulled a number for a prize - it turned out to be the quilt.

I am glad it is over in some respects since it took so much time and energy to get ready for it but I am sorry it is over for another year. I got a lot done but would love to have another couple of dedicated sewing days. Oh well - back to work and the real world tomorrow.
Sounds like you had a really great time.
