I had a couple of good friends come over for a visit this morning. One of them gave me a crate of eggs courtesy of her father’s chickens, and when she handed them to me, I couldn’t help but think about Easter. Easter!? What in the world? I’m pretty sure I am still digesting my Thanksgiving meal. Heck, I think my eggshell votives from last year are still burning! If someone could tell me where time is going in such a hurry, maybe I could talk it back into staying long enough for me to get crap done.

Anyways, I have already put my eggs in a pot to boil them, and since I’ve got eggs on the mind I have been searching for creative egg decorating techniques. No, I totally don’t have time to be doing this (remember, time is running away?) and I don’t plan on decorating the eggs I am boiling either– those are purely for eating. However, it’s got me in the springtime mood, and sometimes when you are in the mood for something than nothing else seems to matter. High five to procrastination! Here are some egg decorating techniques that have caught my eye so far:

1. | 2. | 3. | 4. | 5.

I loved the creativity in all of these ideas, but I must say that the egg heads totally captured my heart. They remind me of these little rock people Debs used to make with us FHR girls when we were little. In fact, I showed it to Cami hoping that she would catch on to my nostalgia. She quickly responded with, “They look like rock people!”– Mission accomplished.

I recommend clicking on the links and checking out how each of them are made. I can’t wait to try the rubber band dyed eggs!
