Please help I.D. this green spider. I often see them in the garden.

Until the picture is enlarged, I saw an object which could possibly be some type of eggs? The spider's preys/eggs?

Glad to help. I have these in my garden as well. My boys, 9yrs and 10 yrs old, love to watch them. They are "pretty" as far as a spider is concerned.
