Decorated Easter Eggs

Happy Friday! It's almost Easter, and I know that for many of you that means decorating eggs. Here are some of my favorite decorated egg ideas from various designers and crafty types:

Oz Glasses

I subscribe to our local paper, The Fresno Bee. It gets delivered to our door each morning, sometimes early, sometimes not so early. Last week I decided to switch things up a bit and read it online. I ended up reading some of the blogs they offer. I came across a contest on Rick Bentley's blog to win a pair of the special 'Oz the Great and Powerful' 3D glasses. Well, I forgot all about it until I opened an email today congratulating me on my win. Yes! I finally won something! I  decided to google them to see if I should bother leaving work early to pick them up (the Bee offices close at 4pm). To my surprise I found they were selling on eBay for $14.99-$24.99 a pair. Okay, I said to myself, I'll go get 'em. 

Here I am in my glasses. (No, I didn't drive home in them.) I think I'll wear these at work tomorrow, and have people refer to me as  'Jen the Great and Powerful'! Thank you, Fresno Bee!

Decorated Bike

Happy Friday!

While at MAGIC, I saw this decorated bike outside of the Free People Booth. The basket held their latest catalog for passersby to pick up and take. I LOVED this bike! I have a similar bicycle at home... mine's brown with an old-fashioned wicker basket. I am seriously tempted to get out all my favorite craft goodies and transform my bike for the warm days of spring.

Ombre SS/2013

Ombre is still hip... It has been for several seasons. From head to toe (or hair to pedicures), the ombre look remains a chic way to wear dye. I saw this look all over Sourcing at MAGIC. Plus you can find it in stores. I still just LOVE it.

If you are over the all-white fashion trend, check out this DIY project to make your own ombre dyed clothes.
