Let's face it, entertaining can get pretty pricey pretty quickly. In my years of entertaining, I've done my fair share of overspending and getting caught up in the planning moment(s) when making purchases for events. Earlier this year I was looking for a marble serving platter to complement a few pieces I already own and just wasn't willing to spend the $120 for my favorite find. I thought, "Really? there's nothing to this thing!" My mind got working and I took a trip to Home Depot just to see how much a piece of marble tile would cost me. I-WAS-SHOCKED! I found a 12"x12" tile for less than $5...so I bought two :) Then, I took my mission a step further and took a trip to Michael's. Ah, leave it to the lovely Martha Stewart to have few reasonably priced gold gilding products. For about $15 (with coupons) I purchased all the supplies I needed to make my own version of a gold trimmed serving platter. And, I have a little video to show you my process plus, all supplies are listed below. Total cost, less than $20!

Enjoy!

February 20th has been officially named, "Love Your Pet Day." But let's get real. If you are a pet owner this holiday occurs on a daily basis. Growing up, my house had a steady stream of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and birds. Anytime we were petless, though always short lived, the house seemed empty and quite frankly, depressing. There is something truly magical about the bond we can establish with animals and what they can do for our overall wellbeing. This has become increasingly more apparent to me is recent years with my involvement with Canine Assistants, a non-profit organization which trains and provides service dogs for children and adults with physical disabilities or other special needs. I first started volunteering with this incredible organization in 2013 as a way to get actively involved in the Atlanta community. Instantly, I was hooked and since have fostered 7 dogs and worked with countless others. My love for animals has grown tremendously over the past few years and I have met some of the most selfless and inspiring people on the planet.

At BashBLOK, we believe crafts should be two things, simple and cost effective. Otherwise, what's the point?!? To add a bit of glitz and glam to your next bash we have the perfect quick and easy party banner craft to kick up your bubbly station. By using removable thumb tacks to secure the letters to the ribbon these sparkly letters can be reused for a multitude of occasions. Just think how fabulous they would look as cake toppers, accents in floral arrangements and so, so much more. We specialize in getting the most out of party supplies so get ready to get glittered. Share your sparkle party banner success on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram. We'd love to connect with you :)
