Maybe someone with a little one could use a tag or two "from" the Easter Bunny.
I am from a very large family. There were so many children that each child was able to dye only one or two eggs each. It was so disappointing if you created a "bomb" egg. That's the dull army-green/gray egg you get if you put the egg into too many colors of dye.
Thank'ee for stopping by.
Kind regards,
Olde Dame Holly
I love your Easter bunnies , I print all your tags.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen bomb eggs, but I also used to paint eggs for Easter.
Thank you for your visits and I hope you are not too tired with your job.
Take care.
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you haven't seen any "bomb" eggs, they are so homely! I am exhausted from my job but it is a very enjoyable job.
DeleteI remember my Mum dying the eggs with cochineal making them pink, we were all so excited. How simple life was then.

Yes, simpler times! I bet those pink eggs were pretty.
DeleteI used to enjoy coloring eggs for the holiday. It was fun and an activity both kids looked forward to doing. Love your tags!!
ReplyDeleteI think I loved coloring eggs even more than my son did!
DeleteI love what you wrote about only being able to dye a couple of eggs. But I am sure you and your siblings were so proud of your eggs even if they came out as bombs? Thank you for sharing the sweet Easter images.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my brothers gave up and would ALWAYS make bomb eggs, poor things! But they went about making them into bomb eggs with gusto!
DeleteI used to dye my own eggs. Never got a bomb, though. I HAVE made mud when I added too many colors of paint together, or two that were directly across from the color wheel.
ReplyDeleteThanks for these. I'm going to save them because there may come a day when I once again buy colored ink for my inkjet printer. I'd have to buy a new laser printer, I think since mine is only for black toner.
BTW, since I want to be sure I'm catching each of your latest blog posts, I would love to add your blog to my left sidebar. I will only do so with your permission, though.
I would be honored to be on your blog sidebar. I am sorry I didn't ask you (or anyone!) - oops! I have a small old black and white printer, so I send my tags online to Office Depot or Walmart to have them printed!
Deletelove your Easter egg dying memory! Such sweet Easter tags and thank you for sharing. Thank you for your prayers for our son Zack
ReplyDeletePraying daily for Zack.
DeleteSweet tags Holly! Ahhh, dying eggs was not for children in my world. The Easter Bunny (ahem....my much over-worked mother) stayed up late after all of us were in bed and dyed them and we would wake Easter Sunday morning to a bevy of gaily colored eggs. I did that same thing when my son was young...except Bunny apparently got wise over the years and left the eggs in the refrigerator rather than out in a basket on the table. 🐇
ReplyDeleteInteresting; I have heard of German moms decorating the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, and revealing it in its glory to the kids afterwards. I wonder if the same holds true for eggs?
DeleteSuch sweet little bunny tags. One of these days I must print some out.
ReplyDeleteI grew up on a small farm and our chickens laid brown eggs so they weren't much fun to dye.
How's the new job? Feeling better?
I am much better! Oh, I love brown eggs but I didn't think of how that would affect Easter dyes!
DeleteVery adorable tags. Perfect for a little one! Janice
ReplyDeleteThank you for your Easter Bunny gift tags. They made a cute alternative to Santa for gifts of chocolate at Christmas :)
