A few days ago I had a little look at my previous blog posts and I was astounded to see that one of them had thousands and thousands of hits. I couldn't believe it but apparently
The Fiercest Easter Egg Competition in the World has been viewed by thousands of viewers.
Maybe they were like me and were searching for inspiration on the web to try and find an idea for decorating an egg for Easter.
For those of you who don't know my children's Sunday School has an egg decorating contest every year and it's fiercely contested.
So, this years effort will be - Shrek and Fiona.
The colour of Shrek and Fiona isn't exactly perfect but it will do!
Last years effort was the Mr Men - Mr Bump and Mr Tickle to be precise.
My own personal favourite from years gone by is Finding Nemo - you have NO idea how long this took. If I remember rightly this was attempt number ten!
My second favourite is probably Happy Feet. If you look closely you'll see one of the penguins about to fall over!
And the final one I'll show you is Ratatouille. You might see a theme running through here of kids films. I'm not quite sure how that's happened, but as long as the kids are happy to keep competing I'll keep trying to be creative and dream up a new idea.
So the secret of a good egg??????
Is car spray paint. Remember, you heard it here first! And as for the white stripes on Nemo, that was white hammerite paint. The things you'll do for your kids...............
Gosh, those are just fantastic. I hope you won every year. You deserved to.

Totally AWESOME egss Scarlet and boys!! You are amazingly creative :)
ReplyDeleteApparently your creative talents stray beyond writing wonderful books! I'm not nearly as motivated.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne, glad you like them. I left out the Daleks as that was a distinctly bad year.....
ReplyDeleteHi Rach! Not too happy with Shrek this year, but have been decorating my eldest's bedroom and my study, so time has been short. Creative? Me? Never!
ReplyDeleteWendy, I have to admit I was rubbish at Art at school, couldn't draw or paint to save myself. Bit give me some tissue paper, some glue and some glitter....and Whooppee!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, aren't THE KIDS supposed to do the eggs?! lol!
ReplyDeleteThey are brilliant, the other mums must want t poke your eyes out with jealousy!
Joanne - yes, the kids are supposed to do the eggs. I let them put the glitter on the tissue paper, does that count??
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you did this again :) I think they're fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Scarlet, who'd have thought, car spray paint..... Must be difficult doing the stripes though!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lacey xx
ReplyDeleteCara, in technical terms doing the stripes is a bugger!
I love the Ratatouille eggs! You are so imaginative! I just do the plastic ones from Walgreens. ;)
ReplyDeleteI am gonna try one of these for my schools Easter egg competition I might use the Finding Nemo one
