It’s that time of year again! Easter Egg Time! Growing up me and my brother never really decorated Easter eggs. We may have done it once or twice, but we were spill-prone children so I imagine my parents wanted to avoid that activity all together. We were much more devoted to the Easter egg hunts since this offered yet another opportunity to compete (as the older sibling, I usually won… just sayin). But nowadays it’s a pinterest world and we’re just livin’ it. So every Spring I see gorgeous DIY posts about pretty little Easter Egg ideas and this year I’m jumping in with my own versions. Hope ya’ll enjoy!
