Chipped Eggs


When I was a kid, I used to collect paint chips. While my parents shopped for plants, a new toilet paper holder or whatever else at Home Depot, I would hang out in the paint section and carefully choose my favorite colors. So when I saw this Easter garland on The Coterie Blog, I was immediately drawn to it. It's cheery, affordable and seems to be perfect for an uncrafty person who longs to be crafty, like me.

    This is exactly the kind of idea that makes me feel refreshed.

    Well done. Ingenious --and for me--perfectly kid-friendly.

    very cute! I seem to remember doing the same thing as a child. I guess it kept us occupied, at least!
