Happy Tuesday everyone! I'm so happy that Fall is finally starting to show it's lovely face around here. Hot chocolate, leaves falling, and cozy sweater season is finally here! 

Fall also means the time when my wedding season is starting to wind down, (although this year it seems to be still going strong!), :) and it's time for me to start putting together my Advent Calendar for all of you! 

If you are a vendor and are either located on Vancouver Island or want to offer a service, product, prize our coupon that can be distributed easily to the winner this is for you! 

As most of you know, I hold an annual online Holiday Advent Calendar. That means that everyday from Dec 1 to Dec 24, I offer a contest, a freebie, or a coupon to all of my lovely followers. Each day, I pick a new business to feature on my blog and through various social media avenues. If this interests you, please let me know! 

Email hello@bluelilyevents.com for more details! 

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Sunshine and Easter Eggs...

I just had the loveliest of weekends! I got to catch up with some of my best friends, spend some time with the Mr. and work outside in the sunshine all day today! :) Such a good time! 

I was doing some research for our Brownie meeting tomorrow night and was trying to find some cool ways that they kids could decorate some Easter Eggs. There were so many creative and easy ideas out there, I thought I'd share some of them with you! 

My girls are all in either grade 2 or 3 so they're at that age where they want to do a more detailed craft, but you still want to make it simple enough for them so that they can achieve the look they want without getting too frustrated or discouraged. I think these techniques will do just that and the kids will have a blast making them! 

I love these little finger print ladybugs. By simply dying the eggs then using their finger prints and markers you can make this design. I think little catepillars would be super cute too! Maybe in a rainbow of colours.

Create different layers and almost a plaid like look by dipping eggs in different colours. Or dab with bingo dabbers, or layer with fun shaped stickers. Remove the stickers once the eggs are dry to reveal your silhouettes.

Dying with Kook-Aid!!! I am soooo going to try this! The link below says to mix one pkg with 2/3 of a cup of water. We are so doing this!

Use pieces of felt to create little barn yard animals. I think little pink pigs would be super cute too!

OMGosh! Tattoos! I'll be picking these up as well! Rub on tattoos make a simple but lovely decorated egg. Perfect for a Easter dinner centre piece!

And who could forget chalkboard paint! I prefer the spray kind. Spray the eggs and let them dry. Let the kids to nuts using regular chalk or liquid chalk board pens!

Hope you all have fun decorating!
