Love the idea of the egg you made...................sounds lovely.:T

I think I am going to make 'Easter Egg Nog', using the cello cones, milkshake powder and some mini eggs, is there anything else I could put in it? And are there any poets who could come up with a poem similar to the snowman soup one???

I think my Easter is sorted -:T cleared out some shelves that housed a lot of wooden things and there are six egg shaped pieces
2 egg cups with a ring round -called a 'captive ring' as it won't come off
2 egg shaps that take apart -could put some mini eggs inside
2 tiny egg shapes -lovely wood grain pattern on them

And I've got my noddy and big ears egg cups -just need to find out which of my two boys had which one when they were little.

Then have to work out who's having which of the wooden ones

There's this one... http://www.craftsayings.com/projects/holidays/easter/bunny_broth/index.shtml

I'm going to make some for party bag fillers for my son's birthday (end of March) and use milkshake powder and marshmallows with a straw attached to the outside for stirring and slurping!

These look good and are a great idea for mini eggs

How about doing some easter 'gifts in a jar'.

Seems anything can be a 'gift in a jar'.............super idea !
Had thought of getting a soft toy bunny and putting it in a coffee jar with a bag of mini eggs for teenage grandchildren -they had retro sweet boxes last year so I've got to think of something. Baby grandson would be ok with the 'jar' idea as well.
Thanks candy
