Well, to those of you who get "Taste of Home" magazine.... here is my version of the fruit centerpiece in the last issue. Many of you know Kathy (French) Irvine, she is getting married in November and we had a bridal shower for her today. I told the hostess I would bring fruit and thought that fruit tray was so beautiful. However, I am NOT Martha Stewart (or Martha Bryan for that matter... :)) so it didn't quite look like the picture. But I had fun trying and it was pretty in a Vonnie sort of way. hahahaha

I think you must be at least related to Martha Bryan, for that centerpiece turned out BEAUTIFUL! =) I love the sunflowers in it too! How neat! You did a good job! Since you had told me you were going to do it today, I was praying this morning for you and your centerpiece! =D Glad that Kathy's shower turned out nice. I'm glad she's getting married again, how sweet!
Again, you did a GREAT job, I love your centerpiece!! It looks beautiful and YUMMY! =)
Love, Heather =)
Wow! That is beautiful!
Hey, that is beautiful. Move over Martha Stewart!!! I think you did a great job, yummy, it looks good enough to eat. Once again your talent shines through. Love you, Mom
I think it looks WONDERFUL!! I do get Taste of Home and you did an excellent job. That's one of those that is almost too pretty to eat. Beautiful! You should be proud!
My goodness, it's gorgeous! I'd hate to see what would happen if I tried to put that much fruit on one platter. I definitely have NO talent in that area!...lol...
love you, can't WAIT to see you in 3 weeks!

I think it is gorgeous! Good, good job! Looks fun - I may want to try that some day.
Vonnie, you don't give yourself enough credit. That thing is GORGEOUS!!! I'm sure it took a long time to make, it's almost too much work to make it worth eating! I'm so glad to hear that Kathy is getting married again. Thanks for posting the photo. Maybe you should be involved in the decorations at the wedding.
The centerpiece is beautiful!! You don't know me but ask Tracey about me!! LOL I was just wondering if Kathy has a blog? Once upon a time LONG time ago she dated my uncle and I always thought she was so beautiful!!! Anyways, I'm so happy for her!!

Hi,
Please forgive me for trespassing.
I am Phillip's Aunt Libby. I was looking for Daryl's blog and just knew it would be on yours.
I saw that centerpiece in Taste of Home and was going to try it myself. I think yours turned out beautiful. So glad I stopped by.

WOW - very impressive :)
I totally relate to your comments - but I think you should be proud even on an either Martha level! :)
Love ya!
How beautiful!! What talent!
Hey Vonnie...you did an absoulutely gorgeous job on the fruit centerpiece.
I don't know if you remember me..but I met you a few years ago in Hobe Sound. I am your sis n law Laura's best friend!!
I spent 3 weeks w/them in Romania this summer for TLC!
I am so happy they are home to rest!

God Bless.

Dear Vonnie,
I saw your beautiful centerpiece and thought I must let you know how gorgeous it is. I didn't want you to believe you own comments that you're not good in this type of stuff and bury your talent! Then I saw all your other "fans" and their comments...obviously we all agree.....your're terrific! Toooo bad you live so far away from us so we can't "use" you and your creativity. :)
Lots of love, Susan, Jeff and Colton
I agree with everyone else...good job!
Just looking for your address to send one of Grandma Bryan's nieces that wanted to learn about you kids and had to read the comments of your masterpiece! I think that you have surpased either Martha to be willing to even try such a feat.:-) ("I know one of those Marthas better than the other) You did an excellent job but then I am a bit prejudiced. Love, Moma
Now I know who to call to do the center piece for the next school dinner function. WOW!
