Easter Eggs 5 Ways

1.  Boiled.

2.  Scrambled.

3.  Sunny side up…

Just kidding.  I’ve been punchy ever since an April Fools j0ke we pulled at work went off without a hitch.  I better watch out next year though.

I’ve been so busy this week!   Among other things, I have a test tomorrow as part of continuing education requirements for the day job, and have been immersed in extremely un-artful and crafty things.  But we do what we must so we can do what we love right?  Right. (but boo)

I am SO all over decorating for Easter this year… I need some colors around my house!  I’ve run across some of the cutest ways to decorate eggs in looking for ideas – people are just so gosh darn creative.  Simply type “Easter Egg Decorating Ideas” into Google and you get literally hundreds of possibilities.

For today’s post – here are five that I have run across and love.  I think after that test tomorrow I’m off to get some eggs (cage free of course… I’m sure happier chickens make for better crafty Karma…. seriously).

1.  Tie-Dyed Eggs from Familyfun.com

I LOVE these!  And they are so easy.  Click the link above for the instructions (all you need is regular dye and a colander).  I’m totally trying these and adding a peace sign with a Sharpie.

2.  Pop Art Eggs from the Crafty Chica.

Too much fun!  This makes me think too that I could do this with Alan’s comics…. oooh calm down honey… I’d scan and make a copy first.  Seriously… Batman eggs… I know you can picture it.

3.  Decoupaged Eggs like those seen here at Martha Stewart Living.  I found a little clearer instructions here at lhj.com .  What a great way to use up some paper scraps – or even print photos you love onto paper to do this technique.

I just love those above on Martha Stewart.  Very nature inspired and almost elegant.  (P.S. if you actually do this to an emu or ostrich egg I reealllly want to see – and also know where the heck you buy such a thing).

4.  Naturally Dyed Eggs:  With excellent insturctions here at the Herb Society South Texas Unit Site.

I just love the colors so much, so beautifully muted.  I think I’ll try the beets, coffee, and maybe tumeric as I have all of those in my pantry already.

5.  And here is one more from Familyfun.com that I have never seen before and am totally going to try!  They call it Lovely and Loopy.

Hee hee!

Happy happy Friday to you and hope you have had a great week.  Now s’cuse me I must go study escrow law… sigh.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon!

Edited to add:  I realize upon re-reading this post I have briefly been taken over by a person who:

• Gushes and says love exclamation point a lot
• Thinks that typing in ALL caps further emphasizes my excitement clearly
• Says “Seriously” too much… but at least I don’t proceed it with “like”

My only excuse is that my brain is literally filled with such words and statements as:

• Incorporeal
• Application of the Common Law of Agency
• And the difference between Energy Efficiency vs. Conservation

Clearly in an effort to sustain itself, my right brain has shut down creative production temporarily as it transfers all necessary power to my left so I can get through this mumbo-jumbo jargon without over-loading.  Thank you for patience, and more intelligently written posts to come.

We hope.
