My kitchen counter is an egg sorting station based upon the destiny of each; some eggs will be hatched, eaten by my family, gifted and blown for various purposes including display or crafting and selling to fellow crafters, magazines and egg aficionados. During the egg-blowing process some eggs don’t make the cut to be sold due to an imperfection, but, being an egg hoarder, I can’t bear to throw out a beautiful egg shell, which has left me with a stash of eggs ideally suited for certain craft projects, Easter Egg decorating and egg dyeing.
My daughters appreciate a good knock-knock joke, so I decided to fill some blown eggs with laughter this Easter instead of the usual candy, toys or money. The eggs will be cracked open to reveal the funny within.

You are SO making me a chicken/egg lover. Always liked the products, now I am learning to respect the producer. YEARS ago, Dad took Army classes, for advancement in the National Guard, from a man who taught in the poultry dept of Purdue University (Poultry and Army have nothing in common, except he wa sin the military and taught.)
