AJP studio

So nice to have a before picture as this space has changed so much already. To the left is the shelving that now has large barn doors covering that Jason made.

Staring ahead and to the right will be the spot for the newborn beanbag set up

Here is where the dark wood and white wood set ups will be for backdrops that will be more permanently placed. Jason just needs to figure out the stains to be used.

Here are the cabinets just the left after walking in. We found a countertop to be placed here already. The TV is functioning and a little mini fridge for drinks.

Here are those beautiful large barn wood doors covering up all my storage for props.  Be still my heart, these are the most beautiful doors!!

Kites & Eggs, Eggs & Kites

We anticipated an even better Easter this year with a visit from Candy and Kirk. They were able to join us late Saturday afternoon for the neighborhood easter egg hunt. We had such beautiful weather that day! We enjoyed a nice dinner together that night at home and then woke up to attend church together. After church we headed to my parents house for brunch.

After brunch we headed back to our house for a little down time before the Easter egg hunt at my cousin Tara's. The guys decided they were going to head out and do some fishing. Austin grabbed a pole and Jason asked Austin if he wanted a worm on his hook. Austin quickly replied no and threw out his line. Austin told Grandpa and Daddy that he had something on. He started reeling in and sure enough Jason thought he was caught on seaweed. Into shore Austin reeled in this whopper as his line broke and Jason was able to grab the fish for Austin. I mean, come on, no worm? way to go buddy!

We joked about how Austin 'outfished' Grandpa Kirk.

The weather cleared up a little more and warmed up enough to have our easter egg hunt outside. The kids as usual were very excited about their kites from Kate and ran around with them  with the little wind we had. It was a beautiful and wonderful Easter! So thankful that our families can easily blend and enjoy each other's company.

Bridal Shower: Black & White Striped with Bright Flowers

The inspiration for our black and white striped, gold polka dots, with bright flowers bridal shower first came from a stampin' up gift kit. It turned out to be the perfect theme that you can find items to match just about anywhere.


Cake: cakabakery

table cloths: amazon

cloth napkins: amazon

Cute little scratch off cards also came from Amazon. I loved that you could pick the number of winners you wanted. Which worked out perfect since we wanted to have 8 winners to match the gifts we pre-made

Here is the stampin up gift set that inspired the party theme

Then we downloaded a party game to match the theme from pinterest
