Edible Arrangement...EG style

You've probably heard of the company "Edible Arrangements." They make "flowers" out of fruit. Let me say, they are expensive! The cheapest order starts around $60.00.

My nice, Mary Beth, wanted her Aunt Cizzy to buy her strawberries for her birthday. Its a tradition just between us gals. This year, I decided to put some creativity into it. I bought a flower pot, a piece of foam, some wooden skewers, chocolate, strawberries, and grapes. I filled the pot with fruit and that little girl LOVED it!! Plus, it didn't break the bank.

So if you don't want to work overtime to pay for hand dipped fruit, get creative and do it yourself! Its fun and the effort means much more than the gift!
