How neat is this? A series of fruits pierced with shish kabob wooden sticks.The body is a pear. Googly eyes were used (just make sure to remove them before someone eats them. The beak and feet are trimmed from fruit roll ups. You could make the eyes out of rice paper with drawn on pupils from a sharpie marker if you have concerns for guests not eating the googly eyes. The fruit used to make the tail can be anything you just have to make sure you are consistent with putting them on so that they all keep the rainbow effect. After you cut the fruit toss in a bowl with water and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Blot to dry. This would be great for a thanksgiving dinner.

I would think about putting a few hole around the edge so water can drain easily from the toys as well as the basket.

I know this is a lesson I need to work on more. I have always gone out of my way when people have asked for my help. I usually don’t get that reciprocated. Learning to say no is hard but it is important to make yourself know that you can help when you want to and you can say no when you want as well. Boundaries are another issue I need worked on. People around you need to know when to stop pushing you and your limits of what you are willing to do for or take from people. This does not make you a bad person.
