The One That Shattered

Sugar eggs are a fragile thing. My cute niece, Ashley was doing such an awesome job putting decorations in her egg- then I helped put the two sides together. Aack! The two sides shattered in my hands. Over the next days I glued (royal icing) the shell back piece by piece. The decoration on the outside is to cover/hide all the repaired areas. Eggs are like people- don't give up on them even when you think they are broken beyond repair.

A Bit O' Green

On a whim I put together this St. Patty's Egg.

I love green and I was very

excited to use this 'perfect' egg shell.

Some of the St. Patrick icing decorations

were acquired in years past,

but when a few shamrocks were among

the awesome stash acquired this year

I decided it would be very appropriate

to create an egg to display next March 17th.

The First Sugar Eggs Of The Season

I LOVE the adorable scene Debbie created with

that adorable bunny collecting carrots in a wheelbarrow.

I am so excited to make Sugar Eggs this year! We kinda skipped doing them last year. There were other more important and time involved things to do like have a wedding and move. This year I am prepared! I have over THIRTY sugar egg shells molded, set and ready to decorate.

My sweet friend, Debbie was the first to decorate an egg with me this year. She did an A-W-E-S-O-M-E job at creating a beautiful masterpiece! Her daughter, Rachael came over after school and made a fun egg using a multi-colored shell. Thanks girls for joining me in one of my favorite spring activities!
