Pinday: Mardi Gras

I hope y'all are in someway enjoying Mardi Gras, even if it was wearing something a little colorful today! I've never "celebrated" Mardi Gras, but I think it is pretty in some ways. I'm not talking about the drunk mob that hangs out downtown Baton Rouge (even though that's all it really is, as far as I know...I should probably learn some history about it...). Anyways, what I think is so pretty about it is the colors & sparkle.

These yummy-looking macaroons from HGTV (Is it bad that I've never had a macaroon?)

So apparently taking Mardi Gras beads and using them to make cool mosaics is a big thing. I appreciate it. I have found some pretty amazing pieces while browsing Pinterest.

This particular one is in the bottom of a serving tray..how cool is that?!

If you are like me and want is really really bad, it is for sale on Etsy. *Yay!*

I hope you found some way to add pizazz to your Tuesday! Did you do anything unique? We had salmon for dinner, but I'm not sure if that counts...but we will pretend(:
