Links I’m Loving: Gold theme party ideas, Despicable Me cupcakes, and more

It’s been a good week here in the shop! Working hard behind-the-scenes, with the windows open because the weather is so oddly cool – like fall. It makes me feel like I should be posting pumpkin recipes already, but I’ll resist… for now! ; ) Here are the DIY projects, recipes, party ideas, and other goodies that caught my eye this week:
