No better time than Easter...

to bring life to my blog. This rainy eve of the resurrection was the perfect backdrop for neon plastic eggs.

Hi Eater Bunny! :) Here, let me share me eggs with you!

We've talked a lot about sharing and caring, and she is her own example :)

I've been inspired, and here's some deliciously fluffy proof...

 

That last guy's my favorite. Thanks mom :)

I also took on an ambitious egg-tastic project myself:

 crack carefully, i used the tip of a sharp steak knife and picked shell away w/ my fingers.

 

put them in amounts that you can use for cooking, works out nicely if you're cooking an Easter meal (or breakfast for dinner- a popular request at my house.

then boil for five minutes (to sort of disinfect and get out the rest of the eggy stuff) 

TIP: turn water down to a slow simmer while adding eggshells, then turn up till slow boil begins, leave for 5 minutes, then use slotted spoon to transfer eggs back to carton.

 Here's where the rainbow begins

 gloves came in handy for avoiding blue-green fingernails

i gave the eggs a rinse after dyeing and found more of the eggy-stuff came out.

(i realized quite a few of the eggs were slightly slimey inside so i put them carefully into cupcake tins, and let them sit in a 250 deg. oven for about ten minutes- till they all felt dry inside.)

here come's the sweet stuff :)

 Now for the final stop on the assembly line, and another reason why

i love a glue gun:

 mini papers fit perfect :)

 can't wait for some crackin'!!!!

and I know just the group of kids.... :)

Thanks for looking, more to come.
