Easter with the Maynard Family

Hello and welcome back!

I'm finally recovered from the bronchitis.

I don't have a lot to post, because I was feeling

so bad, I didn't even do any crafting.

We did have a wonderful Easter and had our 
Annual Maynard Family Egg Coloring Contest.
Here are a few pictures of my grandkids and also the

egg contest results.

Marie and Asher all dressed up in their Easter outfits.

Marie got a Jessie dress from the bunny.

Asher got a Woody shirt from the bunny.

Here's Marie with all their Easter eggs.

This year there were only 4 of us that participated

in the egg coloring contest.

Things have been crazy around here.

Kelsie and Sara have been very busy with their business

Below are the 4 entries.  I posted them on facebook and

people casted their votes.

Sara's "Duo Color Explosion"

4th place

Jaryd's "Pink and Purple Splendor"

3rd place

Marie's "Pretty in Pink and More"

2nd place

Your's truly "Marbled Neutrals"

1st place.

I used onion skins to color my eggs this year.

Onion skins were chopped up,

the eggs were run under water so the skins would

stick to them.
They were then wrapped in pieces of 

knee high stockings and tied closed.

They were place into a pot with water, salt, vinegar

and a little bit of blue food coloring.

Boiled to become hard boiled eggs.

Once they were removed and onion skins were

rinsed off they turned out marbled.

I only had brown onion skins,

but next time I'd like to try multi colored

skins and include some white and red onion

skins.

They were easy to color this way and turned out

great.

Did you color eggs for Easter this year?

Here are winners from past years from our contest.

You can see we didn't have the time to 

decorate like we usually do,

but it was fun anyway.

And now I have bragging rights until next Easter.

Thanks for stopping in today to see what I've

been up to.

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

enjoy spring!
