I do! Not because it's Easter only but just because I think it's really fun! (my ds is off at college, so it's just me and my eggs and dyes)

What about you, do you dye Easter Eggs?

Which is your favorite color egg?

Do you decorate them with stickers or those little wax crayons?

Oooo Suzan, can i come dye eggs with you? wouldn't that be nice :O)....will ds be home for holiday?

Yes, we do dye them
my favorite color is blue
dd's 8 & 4 like to write their names on them with the wax crayon

Last year I bought a Hello Kitty decorating package on clearance that my DD's will be so happy to use.....boo, i had a website saved (but it says no longer available :( that i found this year to glue yarns on the eggs, in a swirly pattern...they look so pretty, think we'll give that a try too :O)

i found the webpage!!!for those egg decorating ideas.....check this out

Good for you Suzan,
Since the kids went to school we stopped doing that.
Doubt we'll do it this year either :)

I love boiled eggs all year round!
When eggs are 18-count 2/4/1, I
boil some up and use them for snacks,
salads,stir frys,added to ramen noodles,
whatever my imagination tells me.
Even in tuna fish for extra protein!!
Sometimes I crack the shells
and put the eggs in colored water
so the eggs get "Tye-dyed"
when you take off the shells,
for a pretty addition to your
salad plate(colored side up)
or on your cold snack plate..
if you're having a dab of this
and a dab of that!
I like pickled herring,beets
and boiled eggs,maybe with
a few slices of potato on
the side, maybe not!
Or a dab of tuna fish
salad with boiled egg
on the side and a pickle!
Instant picnic lunch!!

Ha

Hugs

thanks for that link that is wonderful ( I will borrow that link for my other board!)... so creative... love the napkin decoupaging .... I think that those are "blown eggs" though.. because who would want to crack open such beautiful eggs.... I'd rather put a string in them and hang them... also if it is sprayed with fixative (chemical) I would be hesitant to crack it and eat the egg... now the ones you makes with the yarn, I'll try that one this year... great ideas, thanks again..
