Do You Know What This Is?

Earlier this Spring before all the leaves filled out, I came across this "thing" attached to a branch.  I am guessing it's a nest of some sort but really not sure.  I wonder if anyone recognizes what this might be.  If so, please share because I'd love to know.

I'm guessing it could be the start of a paper wasps' nest.

Ahhhhhhhh I learned what this is......it's a praying mantis egg sac! As crazy as it sounds, I'm excited to learn that. I love having praying mantis (plural spelling???) around.
