Just taking a moment to wish you all a really wonderful Easter! Here is a peek at some of our eggs. The boys had fun dying them yesterday. I had fun making some of them pretty too!

My Heart's Song shows us how she printed on tissue paper so that's exactly how I did these eggs. With art from The Graphics Fairy. So cool!

We also get to celebrate my little one's birthday today. He was actually born on Easter day and this is the first time Easter falls on his birthday since! He's so excited!!!

Lots of Easter egg dyeing going on everywhere! We just did ours and I wanted to share them with you. Cause they are sooooooo pretty!

 Love all the bright color.

Also managed to squeeze in some silk dyed Easter eggs this year. While the kiddos were dying theirs I had these lovelies boiling!

Tried something a little different this time. We left off the outer white fabric wrapping. I wanted to see if this step could be eliminated and they still came out just fine! Yay! You can find instructions for these silk dyed eggs HERE.

I like this orange one ↓ for some reason. And several of them look like tattoos to me.

 Can you see Mickey in the one below?

Have you done your eggs yet? Have you ever tried the silk dyed eggs?

If you're new around here you may not know that I kinda have a thing for thrift stores, yard sales, flea markets, swap meets and so on. Is thrift shopping a hobby? Or an addiction? Oh no!

I recently picked up this wooden candle stick and egg at my favorite thrift store. I say favorite because every Wednesday is sale day!!! Love that!

They both needed a makeover! So here they are just bursting with confidence!

I started with a paint job and a little antiquing to both. Then I used Mod Podge to stick on the chick and another image on the other side which I got from The Graphics Fairy.

Other side.

 I love my little egg.

And I love turning something old into something new! How about you?

Easter Eggs! As much as I wanted to make more of the Silk Dyed Eggs, time just didn't permit. We had a birthday party planed for the day before Easter. So many efforts went into that! Anyway, we still had fun dying the eggs here! Kids got to dye them and I got to foil/metal leaf! Yay!

Photo Friday is a collection of my own personal favorite photos.
