Happy Easter Weekend.

Happy Easter Weekend lovelies!

We didn't get a chance to dye easter eggs like we did last year... 

With Baby G being only 6 weeks old I didn't think she'd be too into it. *wink*

To be honest, I kinda missed doing it. The Sister-in-Law 

& I  had a lot of fun spending an afternoon creating them last year. 

You can see some of our creations here & here if you'd like. 

Anywho, what do you have planned for this weekend? Something fun with friends & family I hope!

As for us we are going to be doing some more spring cleaning around the house 

& hopefully getting our yard cleaned up a bit more too, if the weather cooperates of course.

 Then we have Easter dinner with the family on Sunday. 

It is Baby G's first Easter! Can't wait to put her in her Easter dress & snap some photos.

Pssst! hopscout extended the contest deadline...

If you haven't seen my video you still can! Right over here.

Peeps.

Umm ok how fabulous is this idea for an Easter centerpiece?

Love it!

Found over here via The Tip Junkie.

Speaking of Peeps have you checked out the entries for the 2011 Peep Show? 

You know, the contest where people create dioramas with Peeps... So fun!

I'm Not Too Proud To Beg.

Yesterday I mentioned my video for a job with hopscout. 

Since then, I created an easier to remember link to simplify the process 
of finding my video thus making voting for & sharing, way easier.

{ Via } 

If you haven't voted yet please, please, please 

(see I'm not too proud to beg) head on over here:

www.tinyurl.com/ashleyhopscout & vote for me! 

Also, if you feel like doing me another favor you could email, text or just yell the link 

from the rooftops to friends, family, or hey even complete strangers with computers 

& ask them to vote too...  That'd be awesome!

Ok that is all. Pardon my begging, I just really want this job... 

Thanks! You are the best!

DIY - Masking Tape Stickers.

 With Easter just around the corner, wouldn't it be

 fabulous to send out some custom made cards?

Ez of Creature Comforts has done it yet again (I seriously love that girl!) coming up with 

a super cute & super simple DIY for making your own stickers out of masking tape. 

Head on over here for the full tutorial as well as a downloadable 

template so you can make your own stickers & stationary for Easter.

Yay!

A Favor.

Hello my lovelies! I'm in need of a little favor...

 I recently found out about a job opportunity over on hopscout that I thinkI'd be perfect for. 

Only problem is the application process involves getting enough 

votes on my video application to make it into the Top 20.

So, if you have a moment or two & have a facebook account 

(you can friend me too if you'd like- woo friends!).

I'd really appreciate it if you could check out my video & vote for me. 

If I make it into the Top 20 by Friday I'll make it to the next round 

& have a shot at becoming one of 5 new hopscout editors. 

Yay! Thanks in advance & if you have any questions let me know. 

Again my video is here. Oh & it may contain a cute baby you know. (Wink)

Wedding Pie.

Meet Abe & Nina.

(Many summers ago Abe & I worked at a local camp together, good times!)

Abe & Nina got married this past weekend.

They had pie instead of cake & this is what happened...

Not just once but twice...

Oh, don't you just love a couple that can be silly & most of all be themselves no matter what!?

Love it! It most certainly makes for a very memorable wedding day, doesn't it?

Huzzah Abe & Nina! 

 I wish you many, many years of happiness!

For more photographs from their wedding be sure to head on over here.

PS- Abe is a photographer too so if you'd like to check out his work, here ya go.

Fruit Loop.

A very fun way to put a very true statement, eh?

Wouldn't it be a great print to display in a kitchen, 

a kids play room or even a nursery?

Love it!

For this print & more art by artist Rachel, head on over here.

Smile!

Someone learned how to smile & let out happy 

squeals yesterday & now she does it all the time...

 It is like her new, awesome party trick.

(PS- special thanks to Naomi for making me aware of 

how to make my photos have motion on gickr.com)

Alphabet Wall.

It is really no secret that I love typography of all kinds. Specifically old vintage sign letters.

We have several letter "F"s floating around the house now that I broke up 

the original display on our mantel & I  also recently added a "G"

 in the nursery to our collection of letters.

 So naturally I was very happy to have spotted this entire alphabet wall on Design*Sponge. 

Pretty darn awesome, no? 

Perhaps I will have to start collecting all letters of

 the alphabet in order to do something similar someday- I love it! 

xoxo
