I love to eat - I mean it is truly my favorite thing in the world to do. I even love it more than crafting. I mean if I could make a living out of just eating all day and all night I would do it. But so far, nobody wants to pay me to eat, so I guess I will continue on this path and help you with crafts instead. :-) So when I realized there was such a thing as edible crafts (in other words crafts that you can eat) I thought that I had died and gone to heaven! This page is dedicated to crafts that have at least one edible element involved ....whether its candy, fruit, vegetables, hot dogs, eggs, whatever it is, it is edible. So enjoy the crafts and try not to eat your crafts until you are completely done with them!
