A sweet treat for my sweet Mother-in-law! She came by over the weekend to deliver my Christmas present which had been delayed in the rush of the holiday shipping.

Frugal Inspiration - I love those little "magazines" from the grocery stores! Besides the store specials and recipes, they contain great ideas for creating pleasing edible arrangements for guests. One of my favorites is Inspirations from The Fresh Market. Great ideas for platters that I can recreate on my own for less!

Yum! Those cookies look delicious! I had a Sam's Club magazine over the holidays that gave me some good ideas for arranging appetizers. Glad to know I'm not the only one that does that!
