A Valentine's Day Project Turned Proposal Idea
Today was just another cold day in winter wonderland, so I decided to make a valentine's day project for my daughter's Kindergarten class.
Here are the items that we used:
Fuzzy Sticks
A box of Cheerios
Red Ribbons
Flags made of a regular printing paper with "Happy Valentine's Day" printed (I made this with Microsoft Word)
It is super easy to make that my 5 year-old daughter could make a better shape of heart than I did!
First we string the cheerios on to the fuzzy stick:
Then we shape the stick into a heart shape:
Print a few flags with Happy Valentine's Day printed and punch hole the ends:
Here is the finished product:
But then a lightbulb went on! This can be a great proposal idea. Guys, you don't need a fuzzy stick if you don't have one around. You can use any bendable wire, string the cheerios on it, tie a red ribbon, write "Will You Marry Me?" on a piece of paper, and voila! There is your proposal! Don't forget the ring, of course!
So, after she said yes and you give her the ring, she can eat the cheerios or she can keep that as a Christmast ornament and as a momento of your proposal. The best part is this does not cost you anything! Just use what you have around the house. I bet this will be one cherished cheerios that will last a lifetime!

Picking The Perfect Pallete
When it comes to choosing the perfect colors to your wedding, there are few things that you need to consider:
1. Visual Feast
Each color combination must be pleasing to the eyes. Pay attention to skin tones of your bridesmaids and the overal mood of the wedding. Pick two main colors to avoid color clash and to maintain the elegance of a wedding. Choose the colors that you can't live without and your own visual feast awaits you.
2. Symbol of love
Believe it or not, the colors that you choose for the wedding will be the symbol of colors that you and your fiance's absolutely love together (the word "together" is crucial here). It is important to balance the feminine colors with masculine ones so that the look and feel of the wedding wouldn't be one sided only.
3. Base Colors
The most universal base color for weddings is obviously white. However, there are shades of whites that you may consider to match perfectly to your chosen colors. Wikipedia shows 15 shades of white to choose from:

Video Shoot with Staja Studios
This morning I had the privilege to participate in a video shoot with Staja Studios for their new cinematic video product line. I am still in adrenaline high as I am writing this blog, eventhough I had only 3 hour of sleep last night (my little boy had a fever and was constantly up since 3 am). It was a fantastic interview by Jason Thon and me being a background person was actually quite at ease, thanks to Ryan for shooting the video. I can't wait to see the final product!
I can't tell you how much I highly recommend Staja Studios for their work in weddings and also in charity work. They are super amazing! If you are still looking for an awesome photographer for your wedding or special event, please give them a call and check out their new booklet at: www.stajastudios.com/stajabrideThey are also offering photo sessions for babies and families after the wedding. Who doesn't love that?
Also this morning (see why I was so excited?) I met a wonderful Kaja Foat, the owner of Foat Design. Do you know what she does? Well, I feel giddy for introducing her to you. She does an amazing work of re-designing bridal gowns from the past into a totally new, totally fabulous dress of the present. Let's say, your mom had this beautiful bridal gown which she wore for her wedding that you are absolutely in love with. Perhaps as time passes, some of the fabric is no longer in good condition or you just want to re-create a dress of your own but using some of her fabric for sentimental reason. By any means, call Kaja Foat! I saw with my own eyes this morning how she transformed a 1940s dress into a simple, one-of-a-kind dress that will surely be amazing to wear. She also designs yoga and every-day apparel that are just so sweet. Check her out at: www.foatdesign.com
