Let the countdown begin!

It's that time again! Another holiday is fast approaching and I find it to be a great opportunity to have a fun countdown!

Today we made foil covered Easter eggs to help decorate our house.

First you start out with cardboard eggs covered in foil. (It's best when you find them on your kitchen table all ready to go for you.)

If you're a beginner, you can start simple and just have fun coloring on them like Aubri did.
However if you're a crafting pro such as myself, you break out the big guns and head straight for the acrylic paint!

Choose your colors wisely and get right to work.
Next, while the paint is still wet, you take a Q-tip and make fun squiggles and shapes!
Soon you will have many beautiful eggs to decorate your home or office!

Lastly, it will just be time to clean up. Hopefully you'll have a mom sittin' around with nothing to do, to take care of that.
Happy decorating!
