Oh good grief!! I just had 2 guys come by wanting eggs and I sold them 2 dozen for $4. I could have gotten $5 for one egg decorated!! Only reason I let them have them is cuz they are my most regular customers during the summer when I have so many eggs they are coming out of my ears! lol
OK sorry for the rant. Just had to tell someone and no one could be more understanding than my BYC buddies.

Oh, this thread is getting bookmarked!!!!! I dont' live anywhere near a craft store ( we're talking 100 miles each way- so mail order may be in order) but dang!!! Next years Christmas gifts could be my own hand made decorations!!! I'm not talented at all, but I've surely got lots of eggs to practice with!

Miss Prissy-- you are an inspiration!

How are the eBay sellers packaging them so they don't break?

Some were wrapped in bubble wrap,and the rest were packed in the 'cups' from egg cartons. They cut out the 'cup', took two, one on top, one on bottom, and taped them together, with the egg inside. Then they put them all in a big box with packing peanuts around them. Not one egg broke!

With all the work we put in on them, I think they are worth at least $10.
Congrats on selling some eggs! It always makes me feel good when I sell some.

Just got home from my mothers and she loves for me to bring all my egg decorating supplies so she can give me pointers and watch me make them. She even had me blow out some eggs for her to decorate. This is contagious and there is no telling who I am going to give this egg decorating "bug" to next!
