Are you to old to dye eggs?

[Flower Petals]

As a non-parent, non-raiser of little ones, I still like to dye eggs. Am I normal? Do any of you other people do it just for the fun?

Usually,I dye lots of them for home and school use just cause I like to do it.

There is something very pretty about those mixed dyes.

Unfortunately,I am unable to do it this year.

I still love to dye easter eggs, and let me tell yous omething about being too old for something. I live in a college dorm, and the RA's all over campus are organizing an Easter-Egg hunt. All college-aged kids, and we're going chocolate hunting.

I love being young at heart!

I have my eggs cooling off right now, and my dye's made. I sprung for food coloring this year, so I could make the shades a bit darker. I'll have to see if it works or not.

Got a candle burning, so I can dribble wax on a few. I can't wait!

Happy birthday and egg dying to meeeee!

I don't think I'll ever be too old to dye Easter eggs. After Easter they make great deviled eggs, a delicacy I only eat twice a year.

Yummy.

Hey I bought extra real eggs today to play with that over the holidays with the kids...... what type of paint or dye do I use???

 

[april-wine]

You can dye my eggs any day, April

Gathering up my paints and booking a flight...........

Ms TH Oughts,

If you dont have the ready to dye kits in the house,I found this website that has the way to do it from food dyes.

With two little whippers it seems only sane to dye eggs. The alternative are bunnies. I cannot do bunnies. ahhhhhh.

Woo! Let me tell you... one of my friends hosts Easter dinner every year, and one of the things we all most look forward to is the egg hunt! Our ages range from 27 to 39.

You're never too old... gotta indulge the inner child, right?

 

[Flower Petals]

Ug, I have turned several colors!


I miss egg hunts. To my dismay, all the public ones say I am to old!

I think it would be neat getting the adults together to do an egg hunt for plastic ones filled with adult style goodies. You know, panties, condoms, lotions, candy of course, and all sorts of other little delights.

Yep, I still dye eggs. Even before child I did. We blow them out and put them on bamboo skewers and make bouquets. Put them with flowers, lovely. I also have put my favorites ones that I do in oils on the soil of my plants. Golden and swirls. I love it.

And, because I am so Martha Stewartish, I keep egg dyes around and dye boiled eggs for parties and put them in a bowl on the table any time of year. They always get eaten...

You're never too old.

You are in your own house who is gonna know? DO IT! Go buy the kit, the eggs, don't forget vinegar for the old fashioned kind.

And have a ball.

Hell yes..never too old. My boys get a dozen each...and I get deviled eggs and egg salad the next day. Yummmmmmm.

I dyed eggs with my students yesterday, and my 21 year old sister and I will probably dye eggs tomorrow at my mom's- just us, no kids will be there. I think that you're never too old to dye eggs.

For many years, I dyed several dozen eggs and donated them to children's homes and programs that assist families in need. I stopped doing it when things became unmanageable.

I still dye eggs for myself, and this year I have a 3 yr old to color eggs for.
She is old enuff this year to have a lot of fun with a hunt.
