Who wants dessert?

Chocolate Brownie Snickers Trifle

I made this for dessert on Saturday night and it was to die for!  There are so many variations of this dessert that you can make.  You really can't go wrong.  All you do is layer the toppings, chill for 2 hours and serve.

Recipe as follows, I just made it up.

2 Snickers bars chopped up
1 box brownie mix
1 box instant chocolate pudding
1 small tub of CoolWhip

Start with the brownies, top with chocolate pudding, a few dollops of coolwhip and some chopped up Snickers and repeat.  Chill in fridge for 2 hours and enjoy. 

This is what I saw the next morning.  A man and his leftover trifle. 

Happy Birthday Gary!  I made these on Sunday afternoon for our neighbor who turned....yep you guessed it, 5-0!!!  Jay found the cute oversized Happy Birthday plate at Goodwill that morning for a dollar.  We made the 5 0 cardstock numbers on the Silhouette.  

A week's worth of reading and outfits

My dear friend Lindsay (Lulu) had her baby shower this weekend.  I love to give books and onesies with funny sayings or pictures on them.  I shopped around at the local Goodwill and found 7 baby books and 7 onesies and some little pants or jeans.  When looking for the books, I make sure to look at the edges that they are nice and clean, no teeth marks, no inscriptions on the inside etc.  (I always use a Clorox wipe on the books and wash the clothes prior to wrapping.  Next I made seven piles of the books and the outfits and then I decorated each bag with a day of the week on it. I used my Silhouette machine to make some shapes and used stickers and ribbon that I already had.  At the end you have a different bag for every day of the week which makes for a unique gift and a fun one to open.  

I also found an adorable ruffled bikini and flip flops from Old Navy and packed them into a cute beach bucket and added 2 little beach shovels and the card.  Every girl should have a cute bikini ~ let me buy your first one!

Me and Lulu!  Can't wait to meet Little Lily Grace.

Total spent on the books and clothing- $12.50
