end of the story

I glued tiny pieces of tissue paper
over the openings to close the eggs.
Then they were hidden, found,
and smashed over the heads of people
by little kids.

See that's a good tradition now.

    Hi there,
    a lovely tradition. Is that a typical Swedish tradition or is it common in the states too? I'm trying to find a good blogg place to start my own blogg. I came across yours by "accident". To bee completly honest, I like eggs and got suck with the beatiful pictures.
    As we say in sweden,
    Glad påsk // Micke

  2. Hej Micke!

    Making those eggs is a Mexican tradition. My boyfriend's family is of Mexican descent. I just googled, and learned that having eggs smashed on your head is supposed to bring good luck. (They never told me that part.) They are really fun to make though.
