FEELING CRAFTY:
So over the last year or so I've been making little things I find on Pinterest. Some turn out super cute and some just make me laugh.

Here are few that have turned out decent.


Scrabble Art:


Coaster:

A shot from a Pinterest party I held.

The coaster I made as a sample. The edges need some cleaning up, but you get the idea.



Name Plate:

I made this for my Vice Principal. I added a few gift cards too!



St.Patrick's day Gift baggies:
These I came up with on my own, but they were Pinterest inspired.

A tiny pot of gold !

These were made for my staff at school. Who doesn't love a treat before Spring Break?

(Well needless to say I need a little work in the area of updating.)
I've been busy with life and my husband. He's had some issues with hemiplegic migraines. They are the absolute worst! Enough about that.

It's time to enter my second trifle recipe. It's for one that is the most often requested from my friends. It's called Lemon Berry Trifle. It's light and delicious. Here's how it's done.

LEMON BERRY TRIFLE:



WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

For berry part:
Raspberries
Blackberries
Blueberries
Jar of Ollalieberry Fruit Spread
(Can be ordered from: http://avilavalleybarn.com/avbstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=95)

Strawberries (optional)
Orange Liqueur (optional)


For Bread part:
Container of premade Lemon Bread or Angel Food Cake 
Break into bite sized pieces.

For Creamy Part:
A 16 oz. container of Cool Whip

A jar of Lemon Curd ( Feel free to make you own, I buy the jar and it's delish!)


Assembly Method:
1. Tear up bread part into bite sized pieces
Layer in the bottom of trifle dish. (If using the orange liqueur drizzle a bit over the bread)

2. Mix in a bowl the entire container of Cool Whip and the jar of Lemon Curd
Spoon a layer over the bread part
2. Rinse berries and put into a bowl
Mix in about a TBSP or two of the Ollalieberry Spread. Stir that baby up.
Add a TBSP of Orange Liqueur if using)
Spoon a layer over the Cool Whip layer

4. Start all over again.
I usually end with the berry layer as it looks prettiest, but is by preference only. 
Do what moves you.
