What a wonderful world!

Since the idea behind having a blog is to give a little insight into the world of AJK Papery, I thought there is no better way to do so than to introduce you to my home-away-from-home....my studio! As this little business has grown, I have often wrestled with the idea of having my own retail space. When it came down to it though, one of the primary focuses of my work is that it be personal and how best to do that than to welcome my clients into a welcoming, comfortable and personal space. I have witnessed brides and their moms sitting at a tiny table trying to sift through huge invitation books....it looks uncomfortable and tedious and certainly not like much fun at all. At AJK, I want you to feel like you can relax...like you can dream....like you can have fun planning your wedding invitations. Planning your wedding ultimately is supposed to be fun afterall....I cannot remind couples of that enough!

What's even better....even my cozy little neighborhood of Old Leawood is a welcoming and comforting place to come visit! Located right between 83rd Street and 95th Street and Mission Road and State Line Road, the area is rich in character....something I just love. With tree-covered streets and big yards, you can't help but take a deep breath and take it all in!

So, welcome to the wonderful world of AJK Papery! Working in a residential studio has so many advantages...and I hope that you will come get to know me and see how fun and relaxing designing your very unique and personalized invitations can be!

Its finally time....

Yes, its time! Its time to join-in the world of blogging! Quite honestly, it wasn't until I finally got a facebook page that I started to understand what the blogging hype is all about! I have had such fun updating my fb page and reading what my friends are up to...and then it finally hit me that my current and potential clients would enjoy knowing what's going on in this crazy place known as AJK Papery in just the same way! So, here I am...

There is so much going on day-to-day at AJK Papery, and I hope through this blog you can enjoy the ride along with me! I also hope for you to get to know Lucy and Jessica, the wonderful individuals that work with me...keeping me organized and always thinking ahead....making sure every piece that goes out the door is assembled with great care and love...and most importantly making it a whole lot more fun around here ;) Whether it be reading the "behind the scenes" details about your design or just getting to know what the crazy world of AJK is all about, I truly hope you will look forward to keeping-up with me and the exciting journey of each new day!
