Decoupaged and Glittered Easter Eggs

While it still may look and feel like winter outside my window 

(we just got blasted with another snow storm today!), my thoughts are of spring and Easter!

So today I thought I'd share with you some pretty Easter eggs that I created while we were on our trip.

(Geez, maybe we should have stayed in Savannah awhile longer.  After warm temps and sunny days, it's hard to be in the mood for snow again!!)

I began with paper mache like large egg boxes, covering them with randomly torn strips of vintage sheet music.  I used matt Mod Podge to adhere the strips, then once dry, I went over the entire eggs with a couple more coats of Mod Podge.  A bit messy but fun!  While still damp, I sprinkled a generous dusting of clear coarse glitter all over the surface ('cause you know I can never get enough of my glitter!).

 Then came the really fun part, adding the embellishments!  I picked up some pretty trim, lace, velvet ribbon, and pretty paper roses at Michael's, then went to town decking out my eggs!  I just used hot glue to attach all of the trim.

 I really love how this pair of aqua blue embellished eggs turned out.

 The fun part is you can open the boxes and store little treats, maybe special chocolates, or even a love letter!

 I had so much fun creating the blue pair, so I just had to make two more, this time in pink!

 I've put both pairs in my Etsy shop if you care to take a peek!

I think they would look so pretty piled in a pretty dish, or displayed in a pedestal bowl, as I've shown here.

 Ok, some of you mention that you enjoy seeing photos of our furry girl, Katie, so here are a few that I snapped today!

Despite the snow and howling wind, we bundled up today and took a walk.  This is where Katie decided to perch when we came back inside.  Yep, she hopped right up on the hearth herself to warm up in front of the fire!

 And when not warming herself my the fire, she loves to take a nap in "her" wicker chaise lounge in the sun room.  It sure is rough being a dog, isn't it?

That's it for today, hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
