Do You Want to Comment About How You Like Your Eggs?
Okay, so we fixed the comments feed. My apologies to those of you who tried to comment and couldn’t because we had it restricted to “registered users.” Oops. See, I told you this change was going to be tricky. I’m a creature of habit and while I didn’t really care for the old blog tool I was using, I knew its quirks. With WordPress all the goofs have been operator error, which is a good sign. I’ll get better at this, I promise.
Okay, so now for the test and I have to make this snappy because I need to kick out a craft column and put the finishing touches on podcast episode 72 which will be posted tomorrow. So much for making this snappy. Can I even do snappy? I mean come on, who am I kidding?
Now for that test. I’m researching clever Easter egg decorating techniques for my next craft column and would love to hear how you decorate your eggs. So, let’s test out the comments feed, shall we? If you have a great Easter egg decorating suggestion to share, please post it below. If I use your idea, I’ll be sure to credit my source. (Note: You will be asked for your e-mail address when you post your comment, but your address will not be published and I will not share it with anyone.)
Okay, now I have to get back to work so I can serve up a new podcast tomorrow. Cheers!

I have to share this because it is fun! Since my sister and I are a little older now (late 20′s) with no kids yet, we started a tradition at our house. Instead of Easter egg decorating, we get a bunch of fun colors of jello. Then, we add champagne, and make Easter jello-shooters! They look as pretty as dyed eggs, but are more for the grown-up egg hunts!

Here’s an easy way to color eggs, especially for young ones.
Get that rolled crepe paper they use for decorations in a bunch of different colors.
Then rip it into little pieces, dip it into water, then lay it on the egg. The dye from the paper dyes the egg shell.

I am going to try dying eggs with onion skins this year. I saw the technique years ago in MS Living. You can troll the onion bins at the supermarket for the skins. The kiddos will do the garden variety, food coloring dye also.

Last year, my little family had fun coloring the eggs, then applying flat scrapbooking clear glue dots to the colored eggs. We then rolled the eggs in colored sand (or sugar). It was a fun, new way to do it!

I love dying eggs using Martha Stewart’s marbled egg recipe. But do not make the dye solution to what she recommends. It doesn’t work, follow the instructions on the bos of food coloring for egg dying. They turn out beautiful and the kids can help. It is extra messy and oily but nothing cool is ever easy.

Thanks for the great suggestions, ladies! Dee, your crepe paper idea is perfect for my girls. We’ll be trying that soon.
