ReView: Mardi Gras! Quick Faux Gumbo & Dollar Store Necklaces for Barbie Crafts

I'm gonna start with Barbie this week because my gumbo pic is from 2012, and um, let's just say it could use a little updating. 

Mardi Gras is Tuesday, March 1st this year. And just like us, Barbie (and Ken) like to have a little holiday fun too... I picked up some Dollar Tree Mardi Gras necklaces, one set made cute masks, and the other was the perfect size for 1:6 scale saxophones! Imagine that, Barbie musical instruments for about 40¢ each:@)

All I did was hot glue a pipe cleaner as a stick or handle, and then embellish with glitter, sequins, and beads. Super easy:@)

The saxophones can be removed from the necklace, or you can shorten the necklace to fit around the doll's head.

And if you'd like to cook a little something in celebration, but don't want an involved project, may I suggest this Faux Gumbo. It calls for leftover chicken, some frozen okra, and some every day pantry items. Oh, and a little bacon fat is never a bad idea:@)
