Easter!

I didn't want to pass up Easter without at least a "Hello!" to the day; and with some springtime imagery!
These are the best idea for starter plants. Just rinse out your egg shell after only cracking it on the top, so it's still a good cup. Then poke a little hole in the bottom of the shell with a push pin for drainage. Fill with dirt and seeds. When the plant is ready to be moved to a bigger pot just crack the egg shell in plant in the bigger pot. The shell is a little extra fertilizer for your little plant and no mess or pulled root for transferring the little guy.


I hate dying Easter eggs. It's messy and the dye is never very bold (unless you leave it in for hours). Plus my fingers get colored. Bah! So this year I decided to try some new ways of decorating eggs. And sadly... it was almost as messy and troublesome. Almost.
 I tried gluing on paper and it's cute but messy. Glue + glitter = also messy (and I glued my hand to the table a little bit). Scrapbooking stickers I have to say worked nicely, no mess, and super easy. But my favorite was the double sided sticky dots. Just stick on and dip in glitter. Easy peasy, and it looks good!
HAPPY EASTER!
