Simply Cheerios

photo 136
I mean common...who doesn't love cheerios? :)

This morning I was eating cheerios for breakfast...then I had this sudden idea to make a simple heart out of one simple subject: cheerios. I was eating chocolate cheerios at the time and realized ther was another box of banana cheerios on top of the fridge... I pulled both boxes down, made a picture, and wa-la :D

Brad - yes indeed :)

Lauren & FaerieMoon - you didnt know there were flavored cheerios!? haha well you should try the chocolate ones...I dont really like the banana oness...

Vikdaddy - good question lol I should have timed myself ;)

I'm so out of the loop - I had no idea there were flavored cheerios either. I'm a wheat chex or raisin bran girl. Your creativity is cranking up with those cheerios. Good job!
posted June 15th, 2010  
you get home from vacation with a fresh perspective and start playing with your food. LOVE IT!! hehehe and I never knew they had flavoured cheerios either.
posted June 15th, 2010  
i cannot believe how patient you are arranging these cheerios. the effort was sooo worth it because this is brilliant!
posted June 15th, 2010  
Definitely creative! Cheerios are good for the "heart" I love it!
posted June 15th, 2010  
Crazy woman! But what a fun picture!!
posted June 15th, 2010  
PS .... who am I, who spent the afternoon arranging two wooden dolls, to call anyone "crazy"?!!! Maybe it comes with the hobby?
posted June 15th, 2010  
What a great shot! The heart is perfect, right on! You always come up with some great ideas!

I've heard of the chocolate cheerios, but banana? Cool!
posted June 15th, 2010  
Nice hearta nd good for yoru cholesterol too. So how are the chocolate ones, good? I haven't tried them yet.
posted June 15th, 2010  
This is so creative and new! I love it!

Bonnie - :)

Rainee - I guess I was just bored :) thanks!

Rick - ha! wow, even I didnt make that "heart" connection. I must still be a little tired from all that driving ;)

Elizabeth - exactly...I think it comes with the hobby :)

Leslie - you may like banana! I dont...well...the first bite is okay...then they just get old. but everybody's different! thanks for the comment Leslie :)

Joanne - I like the chocolate ones better than banana. they are mighty tastey :)
posted June 15th, 2010  
So cool! You always have some great ideas!
...&& I've never heard of Banana cheerios! Interesting.

This is a really creative shot!

Love chocolate Cheerios. Err, I mean, I buy chocolate Cheerios because my son likes them. Yeah, that's the ticket, my son likes them.
posted June 15th, 2010  
You get the most marvelous results when you play with your food! This is just excellent! (Don't you love having the time this summer to just "goof around" like this!)
posted June 15th, 2010  
Beautiful, Lauren!! I love your creativity!
posted June 15th, 2010  
Very creative Lauren. See you came back from vacation relaxed.
posted June 15th, 2010  
are chocolate cheerios healthy or does the chocolate cancel out the good stuff? This is clever. I likey!
posted June 15th, 2010  
What a yummy picture!!! I love Cheerios, too! But I don't play with my food. Never...haha! :)
posted June 15th, 2010  
Nice! I just bought Cheerios today.
posted June 15th, 2010  
Michelle - suuuuureee ;)

Sadra - I'm pretty sure they are still good for you :) better than coco puffs or any other chocolate cereal...chocolate cheerios still help your cholesterol :)

"Looks simply delicious !"

haha thank you guys!! I'll have to play with my food more often :D I actually did something similar to this with sprinkles a couple months ago...but idk that I'd consider that food...still edible and delicious though :D
posted June 15th, 2010  
This is great! I never knew there were different flavours of cheerios. We just have cheerios - with slightly different coloured ones in the box.
posted June 15th, 2010  
Found a few minutes to look at some pictures..missed too many to catch up ..been too busy with all my collages to share with you guys. but tonight i am sitting here by myself, everyone has gone to bed so i started writing some comments. your idea is as always brilliant. hope you had lots of fun vacationing i'm sure having the time of my life after way too many years away from my homeland. although i don't miss it i'm happy to be here after so many many years.
posted June 15th, 2010

I knew there were Honey Nut Cheerios, which I really like and I think I do recall the banana cheerio commercials, but chocolate? Don't think so. Now I have to look when we go grocery shopping on Thursday morning.

You did eat all them and not put them back in the box after playing with them, right? :-)
