Well it is Wednesday. I have lots to do to prepare for the 4th!! Its my grandfather’s birthday that day, so we always try to have a celebration for him.
I am making a KILLER summer Trifle that I hope to share photos this weekend with you all 😀 REALLY FABULOUS! Need to go buy a trifle bowl, and the ingredients today to hopefully I beat the mad holiday rush.
Here is the ingredients for a PERFECT summer triffle 😀
Buy 2 pre-sliced Sarah Lee Pound cakes (usually frozen-just de-that that before)
Frozen Strawberries (de-thawed)
Whipped cream
Raspberry Jello
Snack pack cups of Vanilla pudding (lazy man’s way) or make your own vanilla pudding
Seedless Raspberry Jam
Macaroon cookies
Using the pound-cake-and raspberry jam, and make sandwiches. Cut into small sandwich cubes.
Layer on bottom of bowl
Squish up frozen strawberries (and a little sugar) and layer over cake
Another layer of sandwich cubes
layer macaroons, then vanilla pudding. End with cake layer.
Make raspberry jello-poke a LOT of holes into the dessert and pour into trifle mix. Make sure you make a LOT of holes so you don’t get Jello POCKETS. Refrigerate for 2 hours. When ready to serve top with whipped cream (and fresh strawberries optional)
That is it. Its is SO delicious. If you have someone with Coconut allergies OMIT the macaroons. What I love about is its NO BAKE!!! YEAH!! So simple to whip up last minute 😀
So speaking of celebrations………………MFT is having their 2 year Birthday release and celebration tonight. She is releasing 4 sets and 2 singles. I have a good 8 samples in all to share! LOL! But figured I’d do a little at a time 😀
This one is of my FAVORITE creations from the release:
Be calm
Isn’t this card just that? Calming. I so love it. I love the colors and the layout. Crisp clean and simple. One of those simple OH’s!
I am on such a button kick its ridiculous! I have no idea why, but I love it. I have this large mix bag of buttons (I believe its from Foo Fa La) and they are just the prettiest collection, of all colors. Soooooooo happy I splurged the $5 for the bag because digging through and finding all the perfect pretty buttons to match, and actually finding them is so fun.
Next is another of my favorites :
I love this one too. Summer colors, simple clean layout. I love the velvet flower in the center. Just FUN!
Call Me! PUT the sunglasses on for this one! LOL!
I love this layout too. I do love the bright cheery colors, even though its a little much. This SCREAMS teen card doesn’t it? I know I sat on the phone like this endlessly talking to my BFF’s! Or boys! LOL! This set MAKES you want to be bright & cheery.
This Making Memories paper is so fun. I have used it on numerous cards, and always like the colors.
I just took the phone from the main image and popped it out with a square punch, to make it like 2 people chatting it up 😀 The bling Bella Dots are the perfect teen touch too.
So that is that.

Happy birthday to your Grandpa. My Grandma will be 96 on the 4th!
I love all the cards! The “sunglasses” card is so bright and cheery! Thanks so much for the trifle recipe — I was going to do something like strawberry cream-filled cream puffs (which also sounds fabulous right now, maybe because it’s 12: 30 at night at work and all I want to do to stay awake all night is EAT!!) but I haven’t started the cream puffs yet and I need a quick easy dessert. Happy 4th! Jeanne
Beautiful as always Lauren! Thanks for the trifle recipe!
Very cute cards! I really like the soft colors on the Be Calm card!

So love the first one, such calming colors, very pretty. The rabbit is just too cute!
I have met someone (or read their website at least) who uses the word de-thaw! My hubby teases me all the time that it isn’t a real word (and it isn’t), but I can’t get it out of my vocabulary. I will just continue to put up with him. 🙂

Different scholars have got lots of important deals but despite of that they still have to create the biography essay. But now they have not to worry about it, just because they would use your solid issue related to this post as an example for for writing. Another way, that occurs possible to come to a writing service to buy the academic research paper. Furthermore, it is very easy.
Happy birthday to your grandfather !
All the thing which you repaired is very nice, wood pelleting i like them very much !
I come from the pellet mill , can i make friend with you ?
The object is funny about can be pelletizing !
Thank you for your sharing !
This chili grinder machineis Chinese patent product, it has the high milling efficiency with lower power consumption, this chili milling machine can grind the pepper into 30 meshes to 80 meshes (finess). This chili milling machine is different from other general milling machine, it�s specially designed for grinding into chili powder with four rollers instead of two rollers.
Since Oil is going up in price and pellets are going down in price, I am saving Big Money in heating my home with wood pellet boiler !! People are buying more pellet boilers and getting the $1500 tax credit.
