You are so amazing!
This is extraordinarily clever ~
We had romaine tonight... I'm going to go check to see what we left behind in the veggie drawer {hoping the whole bottom is still there}
...then, bringing it to school tomorrow to show and tell.
We're all so blessed to have you in our lives

Koralee, that is so lovely. I would never have guessed they were from a romaine lettuce. LOL when I saw the first photo I actually thought "wow those roses do look like romaine lettuce"....took me a couple of seconds to twig. I love it.

~victoria~
this is such a great idea....usually the best ideas are simple and sweet!
here's another thought for you!
if you wanted to decorate a plate of veggies with this rose...you could, instead of using an ink pad....dip your vegetable in beet juice! it would stain it and still be edible, or safe to be on or near your veggie platter!
sometimes my daughter and I stain our mashed potatoes with beet juices..and it is all Pink and Pretty!
have a good one...stop in for coffee today!
ciao bella

Good evening my dear. Did the Advil help? Are your pretty blue eyes working overtime, focused on your work? I am done for the week and I left a couple of spelling tests to grade on my desk. Monday is another day. Meetings galore and more standard testing, but Sat. and Sunday belong to US! I am painting a table and a church pew and Ruben is building his closet organizer. Things are humming along and no snow....ahhhh! Peace to you and a blessed rest. Tomorrow is a new day, Anita
That is ingenious, my friend. Love it. Have a wonderful weekend.
That is so cool, I must try it. Darn I already went to the store today. Will there is always tomorrow!!!
OH YES you make my day Koralee.
What a wonderful idea and amazing result !
Traveling blogs I smeel a theme .... Roses all around . Roses are in the air ..... in the blogs ... In my house the grape hyacinths are smelling and smelling and smelling ......
Roses not yet ...
Happy weekend Koralee
Oh so pretty!
I am hosting a Valentine giveaway on my blog and I hope you will stop by and enter.
Have a lovely weekend.
