for the YUM factor...
Sherryn had this delivered to Scrapbooks etc because I had to work on my birthday. Isn't it just yummy looking?!?!?!?
It WAS just yummy looking and tasting! It had honeydew melon, strawberries (some of them choc dipped), pineapple, Ferrero Roches and Chupa Chups. And I really didn't expect those strawberries to be sweet and juicy either or the chocolate the fine swiss stuff but it was and they were... I made a deal with the kids that they could have the Chupa Chups if I could have the choc dipped strawberries. You know the calories from the chocolate cancel out if you eat it with fruit...
AND now I'm struggling to get back on the wagon after Sherryn's little nudge!
I love her regardless of her comment in the last post.
I shall forgive you for that, Sherryn. Obviously Veijo must have finally shaken that wobbly headboard loose and it's bonked you on the head... =D
mmmmmm that looks like it was delicious with a little bit of sinful indulgence mixed in! We have those here called Edible Arrangments. Love them! The Easter Bunny delivers it to this house. Very thoughtful birthday gift- way to go Sherryn.

Hey Kristi, No problem, I'll get you one for your birthday, but we'll have to bring it with us - hope you like dried fruit!
Lynette - I forgot to mention that Brad is going to "donate" one of his Vintage Bikes to raise funds for us to go OS. Hasn't he told you that yet? Glad you enjoyed your pressie xx

We have Chupa Chups here...Pam needs to get out to the candy store more often. We addicts know about all that stuff whether we eat it or not!
Kudos to Sherryn for the semi-healthy edible gift.
Double kudos to Brad for donating one of the vintage bikes toward your trip fund. (I'm trying to add some pressure! Is it working?)

Hope you had a wonderful day on your birthday - just wondering where the phone call was to share that delicious bouquet ?

Looks wonderful!! What kind of a company makes you work on your birthday???? How thoughtless!!!
: )

Working on my birthday was my choice. It was more convenient than working the following day. So, I actually insisted against their wishes!
Leanne, I sat in the corner and hid with the bowl on my lap! =D

Looks yummy! I think it's funny that they combined fruit and candy! But it sure looks pretty.
