beads

Every year the Autism Society SWLA Chapter collects, sorts and resells Mardi Gras beads.

Tired of looking at that pile of old Mardi Gras beads? Turn them into a gorgeous mosaic in just ten minutes with this quick tutorial from ilovetocreate.com.

Here is one for the people who think 911 was a government plot, Elvis is still alive and man never walked on the moon.This one may shock you! Mardi Gras is all a big capitalist conspiracy.

Anyone who’s been to Mardi Gras knows that that when you hold all the beads, you hold all the power.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!  It's Mardi Gras time here in SWLA and from here on out, there will be a Mardi Gras parade just about everyday till Fat Tuesday.

I have rode in many Mardi Gras parades and they all have one thing in common. Cheap beads do not get picked up! They are basically litter. The street sweepers carry them away. The other thing I know is that people fight for the good beads.
