"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

52 projects...week 11~




~decoupage eggs~

i had seen these in many magazines now and before
and some similar ideas on blogs
so
 i thought i would try my hand at it with my wee little ones
adding my own twist


pages from
 "the ugly duckling"


turned out pretty sweet
think we will be leaving these out for spring
need not only be an easter decoration

don't ya think?

Oh, I love these eggs -- so not your run of the mill decorated Easter eggs. And yes, leave them out for Spring or all year!
Blessings,

Those eggs are amazing!! They are so pretty and that's the perfect story to put on your eggs. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, 15 Bella Vie, and becoming a friend. I love your blog site, it's so lovely! And the name is wonderful!
Have a great day.

What a wonderful project! I could envision these eggs lying in an actual bird's nest somewhere or resting in a little bowl next to a stack of books. I'll bet the boys had fun too!

The metallic bits are just wonderful on these eggs - they make them so elegant.
Lovely
