How To Make A Wordle
Then if you're happy with everything you have a couple of options.
#1: Underneath the wordle, you'll find a button that says "Open In Window" then you can print from there. It will print out as a 8 X 10
#2: You can take a screen shot from your computer (if you don't know how...google it). Then paste it into any photo editing software where you can crop it, and resize it to your liking.
*FRAME IT! It makes a Wonderful personalized decoration for you house!

Fruit Bouquet
First, you'll need to decide what fruit you want to incorporate into you fruit bouquet. We used fresh pineapple, strawberries, cantaloupe, grapes, watermelon, honeydew melon, oranges, and even though we didn't use parsley I would highly recommend getting some!
Step 1. Using your knife, cut up your pineapple, half of honeydew melon, half of watermelon, half of cantaloupe into 1/2 inch thick slices.
Step 2. Using the cookie cutter, press each slice of fruit and cut out a flower
Step 7. Put your floral foam into your vase or basket. (Don't use a clear vase, it's not pretty!!!)
Step 8. Now you should have all of your fruit on skewers. Place each skewer into the floral foam at various angles. You will want to create a spherical shape to the bouquet, so place the outermost skewers on a large angle and make them shorter than the center skewers. I had to break a few inches off some of the skewers to get them to the right height (I used kitchen scissors to help me break the skewers). This step is the most time consuming because you want the bouquet to look perfect. If you have trouble, just start putting in skewers into the foam. Then adjust each one to look how you want it. The key to this step is to adjust your skewer lengths. Don't be afraid to break a good part of the skewer off (if you break too much off, you can always use a new skewer - I had a LOT of extra skewers at the end). Another key to making your fruit bouquet look AWESOME is to have plenty of fruit. Having too few fruit skewers makes your fruit bouquet look bare and skimpy.
Step 9. Once all your fruit skewers are placed, place some twigs of parsley in-between the skewers. This fills in the bouquet, hides the skewers and makes it look more like a flower bouquet.
Once you have the parsley in place, YOU ARE DONE! WA-HOO! Your family will love you FOREVER!

As many of you know I come across most of my craft ideas through blog hopping. I was fortunate to come across Megans Blog. Megan is what I would consider another one of those cute "Do-It-All" moms. Without people like her I would have no posts for my craft blog. So here's her *BrILlIaNt* ideas! …But…You'll have to check out MEGANS blog to see the details!
