Cascarones!

Cascarones aka confetti eggs have been a festive Easter tradition in our family ever since I can remember. These confetti filled eggs are a hit with everyone! What you do is sneak up on an unsuspecting person and break the egg over their head so that the confetti spills all over them! Having a cascarone broken over your head is said to bring good luck.......so bring on the luck!!

To make cascarones:
1. Gently tap a small hole on the top 
2. Empty the egg yolk into a bowl or sink
3. Rinse out the inside of the egg thoroughly 
4. Let dry
5. Decorate the egg with markers, dye, paper, glitter..... the possibilities are endless!
6. Fill with confetti
7. Cover the hole with a circular piece of tissue paper and glue in place

Our family loves making them colorful and beautifully decorated! I decorated these to share with you.

Easter Goodness

       I can't believe Easter is almost here and April is coming to a close! As a little girl, I remember waking up Easter morning to a basket filled with all sorts of  goodies that the Easter Bunny would leave in my room :) Now I'm all grown up...... even though I must admit I'll always be a kid at heart. I leave you with this Handmade Wish I drew and painted with Gouache and accented with a black Micron marker.
