Back to School







We were busy all summer long creating garments for our biggest show of the year, the Yellow Daisy. It was an experience to say the least. We loved the people and dinners with the Havens. We introduced some new items at this show: Ice Cream Blouse, Ice Cream Dress, Tea Party Sundress, and the Playsuit. Some patterns we have used before and some are new. Oliver & S puts new patterns out each fall and winter so you can imagine the fun we have dreaming up new pattern/fabric choices. Here are a few photos from our photo shoot with Maegan. We used many of them for advertising at our show. The girls loved seeing their faces in big banners. They were celebs!

Ice Cream Dress and Swingset Tunic/Puppet Show Shorts

Kirsten (the "k" in a.j. jacks) loves all of her clothes made especially for her from Gramma. She loves the attention she gets when she is wearing them and will tell anyone who asks that her Gramma made them for her. Now, whenever she gets something new she will ask who made if for her. Or, if it is a gift from someone, she automatically assumes they have made it too. Here are just a few shots of her playing in the backyard and at the park, with her brother Aidan, wearing some of her favorite a.j. jacks outfits........

Playdate and Ties

Last week we had a fabulous time in Florida! The kids got so much attention and had tons of fun with thier cousins. These are the dresses the girls wore for Easter and the ties the boys wore. They looked so cute and received many compliments. I love the colors and with those shoes, who could resist?

The girls and I at our favorite store. And below we have "baby Jack" with one of his many silly faces.

They're Even Cuter On

We appreciate receiving e-mails from our customers with photos of their little girls in our clothes. As Gramma always says, "They're even cuter on!" so we though it would be fun to show everyone just how true that is. Taylor's mom thinks so too. Here is Taylor looking oh so cute in our.............

It's a Give-A-Way

Well, it's that time again.....give-a-way time!! Don't we all love the give-a-ways? In honor of our new website launch we are hosting a fun give-a-way at ajjacks.com. We had originally wanted to give-a-way a pair of salt water sandals to the first customer on our website....but, we had buyers before the "launch". So, we decided to give the first buyer a pair of these great sandals and then to continue on with our give-a-way.

So, this is it: anyone who makes a purchase on the website from now until February 14, will be entered into a drawing for the salt water sandals pictured below. We love these sandals so much that they are often the prize in our give-a-ways. I am sure your darlings will love them too. You can go anywhere in them.
Check out our new website and hopefully you will find something you like. If you have any questions about our site or the give-a-way please email us. We'd love to hear from you. Or leave a comment below.

Thanks!!

Cricut

I've been researching cutting machines since our November show in VA. We had a swag there for decoration and more people asked us to buy it than any other article we were selling. So, we came to the conclusion that a swag was something we needed to sell in the future. But in order to make a swag we needed a cutting machine that would cut fabric. And that is what started our search. Which has now ended with the Cricut Expression.

I have yet to purchase the needed blade for cutting fabric but I am so far very impressed with all of it's many features. I have tried to cut fabric and it has worked on smaller projects. Those with more detail were not as crisp. Paper projects have been a breeze with the machine.

I started using it this weekend at a scrap mania. Savanna's birthday is coming soon and homemade invites are a must. I chose the Songbird cartridge for this event and Courtney helped me with starting details. I will post more as our details progress....like favors!!



All in all, this machine has been fun so far. Tackling the cutting fabric aspect might prove to be more difficult but I will give details for that as well.

It's been a wonderful Monday here is ATL. I hope you are all enjoying your day as much as I am.
