Bittersweet Ending

There as been so much going on lately I don't know where to begin. This semester of school has come and gone so quickly. I decided to make all the kids in the third grade class I was in goody bags. It's amazing the effect these can have on kids!

Each year for Thanksgiving I try to think of something new to use as the centerpiece on the table. This year I came across this wonderful idea in a Martha Stewart magazine. It was a simple find. I used real apples, limes, lemons, cranberries, and pears, brushed egg white onto them, and covered them in sugar. They took a few hours to dry, but they lasted for a good week after the holiday.
