My beautiful edible bouquet's minutes before tragedy struck! So let me tell you my little tragic story: The day was May 31st. I was making edible boutique's, for the 1st time, to take visit teaching. Yes, on the last day of the month, trying to get my visiting teaching done. I was so proud of my bouquet's and was so sure my ladies would love them......then it happened......as I walked out of the back door I dropped them! My heart literally stopped and all I could do was cry. Yes, I cried like a little girl. I walked back into the house trying to keep it together and to take a moment to remember to breathe. And that's when Jason came to my rescue. He knew how proud I was of my bouquet's and like my knight n' shining armour he helped make it better. He cleaned up the disaster that was left outside and instantly started to rebuild them. We cut more fruit, poked more fingers, and laughed through the tears, and still got them done just in enough time to still deliver them to my Sisters. It was another little bump, Heavenly Father, threw in the road for me, to help teach me that obstacles are easily to be overcome. And maybe to not put off your visiting teaching until the last day of the month (it causes you to be in a rush, forget the importance of the visit, and makes you drop beautiful bouquet's on the ground!) I am just lucky enough that He has directed Jason onto my path to help me around those bumps.

That is nothing...sometime I will tell you about when I spilled blue kool-aid in my fridge and started to bawl. It was rough. I can totally feel for ya.
Shanda,
This is julie's sister in law rachel. I loved your idea with the fruit! How cute and simple! I feel bad that they fell that would be so devastating but I was impressed your husband came and rescued and helped you! I don't know that mine would...anyways....there is a point to me posting..lol. What were the yellow flowers made of? It looks like pineapple but how are they staying on the stick? Give me details about all of it so I can copy your great idea! Too cute! Thanks...p.s. your family is adorable!
OK I love your arrangements. How creative. I am glad Jayson helped you put them back together!!!
