8-8-08

i will admit to being a fan of the number 8. i remember back as far as 8th grade i've had this obsession with the round number. perhaps it's because the number is plumper than others? or turned on its side, it reads like the infiniti sign?

anyway you see, just know that millions of other people around the globe loves this numeric. case in point, the bejing 2008 olympics, people who love lotto and couples who were getting married!

one of those couples were clients of mine, suzanne tran and conan tong of san francisco. congratulations you two! read more about this craze and see pictures of beautiful suzanne the day before the wedding!

hooray for sister!

we've been celebrating and talking non-stop about weddings, but i didn't get to properly say "congratulations" to my sister and, now, fiance (my soon-to-be brother in-law)!
we're planning a major destination wedding for 2009. details will be shared!

and now i'd also like to introduce and welcome their newest addition. meet louie petite noir:

{oh boy} the nice owl has landed

{hello all}

i have arrived! from where, you ask? well, i suppose i've just finally gotten here. that "here" is in blogger land where i can get connected and stay connected with so many.

i look forward to posting up-to-date/timely happenings with my custom invitations + stationery business {www.niceowldesign.com}

ambition at its best: my hope is to share products i love/ cannot live without; give you a glimpse into the world of my clients i come across; share projects i'm working on; continue with the passing along of web sites, vendors and such; as well as try to share and test out new trends.

why nice owl? well, i do dig on owls and thought they'd be a fun creature to use as my emblem. but most importantly, i'm a night owl--working later and later these days. so, why not tell people how nice i am, as well as my sleeping habits? silly, i know, but it works for me. i plan on using this space as an outlet of self expression and opening myself to the web community.
