Easter Blondie!

Dyed Easter eggs have always been part of our Easter celebration since I have been a child.  I did it with my kids and still love doing it.  I like vibrant colors and it is fun to do with eggs.  I love jewel- toned fabric so it stands to reason I like colored eggs!  Even after Cowboy and I married I would dye eggs even if no one was coming for the weekend to visit! 

This year I was out of Easter egg dye and the fun packets that come in the package of dye.  So while we were in Miles City not long ago I bought some dye as I knew ONE of the favorites would be here for Easter.  AND I didn't know if one of the other favorites might not show up too!!!

Friday night after Cari arrived I suggested that we dye eggs.  I got the package and lo and behold...



No dye in THAT package!  Sometimes I just shake my head and wonder!  Ha!  But you see my point, there is the Bunny and look at those beautiful eggs in the border!  What was I to think!!?!

The next best thing was to make homemade dye with boiling water, vinegar, and food coloring.  We got BEAUTIFUL eggs!  I had boiled about a dozen for boiling and about a dozen for making deviled eggs for church.  Deviled eggs in church, it makes me want to go hmmmm?!  But, I came home with an empty container!!
Aren't they pretty?  We tried to do a swirl one with olive oil, (it is the shiny one and it doesn't looked swirled!) but only did one...  At this age I am not into glitter unless of course I had a grandy ask for it!

Easter Sunday was a glorious morning!  Our devotions were special and we celebrated that Christ is Risen!  I celebrate that every day, but Easter is a special time to reflect on the tremendous event that changed ALL of our lives...

Happy Easter!
