by Jenny Batt Yes, I have a thing for gold animals and I don’t care who knows it. (As evidenced here and here.) This time around let’s gild little plastic turkeys and add flags for fun. Everything is better in gold, your Thanksgiving table settings are no exception. Supplies – plastic turkeys gold spray paint …
by Jenny Batt I just love Halloween, don’t you? Have you seen those creepy giant spiders at the Halloween stores hanging from the ceiling? They are a bit too realistic for me and my fear of spiders, so I decided to try my own version! I’m setting aside my eebie-jeebies and making a rendition of …
by Jenny Batt Want a simple way to dress up plain party cups? It is easier than you think, no scissors involved! Take a bit of precut fringe and attach it to the top of your paper cups. This will add a bit of party to a usually boring regular. I am constantly looking for …
by Jenny Batt You should know by now that the girls of The Sweetest Occasion love gold. It’s an addiction really and I am okay with that. Have ho-hum flatware or are you coveting those gorgeous place settings with a Midas touch like we are? Grab some pretty settings from the next garage sale down …

by Jenny Batt I have a favorite cake decorating shop here in Seattle that is jam packed with all sorts of goodies, but this weekend, when I popped next door to the bead shop, I found little metal pennant flags. These are some sort of gold metal and are used as tags in jewelry making, …
by Jenny Batt Well, I was looking for something whimsical but beyond the usual pastels for Easter. Every so often the boys and I cruise the toy animal section and these little guys hopped out at me. (Get it, hopped…har har. ) This is just a variation of the DIY Party Animal Candles, but perfectly …
by Jenny Batt This is a perfect example of me cruising the aisles at the craft store and happening upon a cool material. (Love that!) I have actually tried making cupcake toppers from regular aluminum foil and it was too thin and showed where my double stick tape was. This new foil tape sheet material …
