Friday afternoon I came across this awesome tutorial blog post and decided that was what I was going to make for my mom and mother-in-law for mothers day. I headed to Hobby Lobby to find the supplies. I got home and got started on them, and I ended up making them for my sisters and sister-in-laws that have kids as well. (Sadly, I never did get the cards made to go with them.) Each one is unique, and the amount of eggs depends on how many kids. I LOVE them! I made nests with egg amounts from one to eight.
I have to apologize for these pictures. I took over 30 pictures, and hardly any turned out. 🙁 But you get the idea.
**Giveaway is closed**

These are amazing! I LOVE that you found oval (egg shaped) pearls.. they looks like real eggs! I am also loving the fact that you made nests for everyone! The one with 8 eggs, WOW! Kudos to that Momma! 🙂 And the birds nest looks so cool how you did it with 8!

I love these! you are so amazing! My favorite thing about summer is swimming at the pool in the hot sun!(:

My favorite thing about summer is AIR CONDITIONING. Besides that, a popsicle on the back porch with the sprinklers on is good too.
I love these pendants. My favorite part of summer is that my husband is home on a regular basis. He is a college softball coach and by June the season is over.
These are adorable!!
VERY cute nest charms!!
My favorite thing about summer is making memories with my family! My boys are almost ready to “leave the nest,” so the time with them is ever more precious!

Oh! How darling! My favorite thing about summer is canoeing. I love getting a group of 8-10 friends together, car pooling to the drop spot and then lazily making our way down a cooling river! We took our three children (the youngest just over 1 year!) last time and it made for some hysterical and fun memories!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I also ‘liked’ you on Facebook!
Those are beautiful! My favorite thing about summer is the beach!!!

Now that I don’t live in Arizona…I love the summer because you can live outside from sun up to sun down!
You are way too creative and I love it!
My favorite thing about summer is that I have time off of work to do things that I love, spending lots of time with family, and the slow pace it seems to bring.
