    I’m torn, we all do such good work! But I have to say when I look at #1, Mardi Gras seems to jump out at me!

    Good luck all!

    I like number 5. I think this may be cheating since I’m certain this is a self portrait of ‘Becca. You can go ahead and send me the prize regular post to save money.

  7. Amy, on March 2, 2009 at 10:31 am Said:

    These are all wonderful and I was especially torn between #1 and #5. I’m voting for the Tree Mask Drawing with the bright, vivid colors. Love it!

    I just love it when my friends stumble on this blog and vote against me!! HA HA HA

  9. Brenda Winkle, on March 2, 2009 at 1:51 pm Said:

    I’m going with #7 – the Goddess Shawl by FoxyGKnits- because I do not have many scarfs and I have fallen in love with wearing them this winter because it has been so cold – also I like the purple colors in this one.

  17. Candace aka Spiffyspooner, on March 3, 2009 at 5:48 pm Said:

    I loved them all, and they all were great for the Mardi Gras theme; but I think #4 was really intricate and showed a lot of work as well as meeting the theme. Candace from the Spiffyspooner shop on Etsy.
