Our friends built out their detached storage shed into this beautiful music studio. Both Amanda and Bain play music and have kids, so it's a great place where they can turn up the volume while not waking the kids. My favorite feature are the floors and the wood trim. They are reclaimed wood that Bain acquired from Athens' local floor guy, Doug Booher.
The big party for Help a Mother Out was on Sunday at the Peekadoodle Kidsclub and it was a great success! Over 17,000 diapers were collected and everyone had a blast! I even won a raffle prize... an awesome collection of MY OWN vintage stamped envelopes and notecards! Yep, I won my own raffle prize! Once they realized it, I was given a 90 minute massage at Relaxmith... so much better than stamps, right?!
Amber, from wiz bang photography set up a great photobooth. We got our photo taken! Check out her HAMO post with some great shots of other kids and families in the photobooth HERE. Big thanks to Julie Michelle from iliveheresf for getting me involved!
My main project this week was re-doing Beth Cyr's website! She and I go way back to our college photography classes. She's a super-talented jewelry designer based in Athens. She just wanted something simple, with correct contact info and links! Check it out!
I had the great fortune to visit ARROW (Athens Rumpus Room Or Workspace), a new place for kids to play and learn in Athens, Georgia (it's next to Big City Café). The workspace part of the name is for the grown-ups; ARROW will also serve as an outlet for parents in the community to meet, craft, or work (they hope to have various workshops and classes). It was started by a seriously amazing duo, Amanda Kapousouz and Rinne Allen. Arrow is geared toward early childhood education and so much fun! It is Waldorf-inspired and has activities like Morning Garden and Music days. I was there on Music Day! Amanda played Irish fiddle for the kids while they danced and played with the other instruments.
They're currently only open to members, but hope to open up to the public soon! Here are a few photos from my visit. The full set can be seen HERE.
