We had a small New Year's Eve get together with a few friends and had a great time. My husband cooked the whole meal (as usual) so we definitely ate well! I couldn't miss out on the opportunity to decorate a little for the dinner party, so here's what I put together.

I went with a gold color scheme since we already had gold chargers from Thanksgiving. The clocks were either from around the house or purchased from Goodwill, except for the large paper clock which I made using my Silhouette. The clocks on the chargers and for the wine charms came from The Graphics Fairy. I hung gold balls from my chandelier with monofilament and it was a really beautiful focal point. The best part was that all of the ornaments were on clearance!

Happy New Year! Jenny

I had fun setting my table for Easter this year. I really wanted to make these bunny napkins. I've actually tried them before and could NOT get them to stay together. I ended up cheating and using a paper clip. I'd probably use white ones next time but c'est la vie. What looks like a placemat under the plates is actually a piece cut from a paper tablecloth from Target's party supply section. I saw the color and grabbed it, knowing I'd figure out some way to use it. It's more the texture of paper towel than paper.

I'm loving Target's white dishes. I wanted to buy the whole collection, but settled for six salad plates. The scalloped edges are so cute!

Each of the place settings has a different bunny's name. I used my scallop punch (love that thing!) and some aqua scrapbook paper, colored the edges silver and wrote the name.

I adore tulips. They're pretty inexpensive and remind me of spring.

I tinted these mason jars a light turquoise using tutorials from here and here. It's a subtle but fun touch. I love how the table looks- I smile every time I walk by. :)
