Invites preview

I can not possibly count how many hours that I put into making these invites but let just say I am glad that it is 90% done. (ok maybe I can..4 days total spent at Office Max. Over 10 hrs designing. 5-10 hours putting it together. 5 hours figure how to type it in Vietnamese, proofreading, researching)

Here is a preview of what they look like. I took these pictures yesterday at Office Max because I was so bored while waiting to get our invites printed and cut. The worker there said our invites are complicated Our theme: Orchids flowers and our colors are magenta, teal and chocolate brown as an accent color.

Here is a picture of our yorkie, Coco that I took the other day. too cute!

Wedding Bells

It has been crazy few months..I havent been doing a good job with updating my blog. Here is my excuse:
I am getting married less then 3 months and who knew it’s so stressful to plan a wedding all by yourself..well the fiance does help but he’s content with everything. Currently I am in Virginia Beach and the wedding is in South Dakota, which means a lot of googling and phone calls to SD. The wedding will be a traditional Vietnamese wedding, therefore I am clueless on what is needed to be done. I am going to update my blog often with wedding news or design inspirations. Been designing the invites so I will definitely upload those up soon!

First off we found our photographer Chris Reistroffer He does amazing work and I cant wait to be photographed by him in my vietnamese traditional dress (ao dai)
Cool typography invites:)

Thanks for stopping by..until…next week…

I still love this ad!

Our home

Were definitely having fun decorating our new home. It feels like home sweet home now. It is not done yet because we are planning on taking out the ugly carpet and putting in laminated wood flooring. That will probably be our summer project or after the wedding. We love our chandelier wall decals!

p.s. we have 3 dogs, therefore they like to jump on our sofa..that’s where the fleece you see on the sofa comes in handy..

Paper Plates to the Rescue!

Our baby yorkie, Coco got an ear infection and she’s been scratching it like crazy. Back when our two chihuahuas got fixed, we came up with the idea of putting paper plates around their neck so they wont scratch the stitches. Here is the other post

This is a great way to save money..you cut a hole in the middle big enough that they can move the neck around. Here are the pictures:

Clever Funny Ads

Apartment Redesign

Oh how I miss designing! It has been weeks or maybe even months since I last designed a template for apartment housing for work. It feels good to jump back right in!

Pushups

See both of our dogs doing pushups..well not literally. Coco is our yorkie terrier and Miko is our long haired chihuahua. view more at VIDEOS

Wall Decals

It has been a really long time since I last updated my blog. I should write myself a note to post as least a blog a week. =) Lee and I have been extremely busy painting and decorating our house. We painted our dining room few weeks back and just last weekend, we painted our living room. Next weekend is the hallway. I now have nightmares about painting.

I just put in an order for chandelier wall decals and it’s going to look great in the living room. It should be coming this coming weekend!! This is what it look like.

I got this picture from Rate My Space HGTV. We also decided to paint our wall brown cuz it look awesome in this picture.

Bridal Session

Back in November we took some bridal shots with DCPG. Pretty awesome team! They do hair and makeup along with the photoshoot! If your around Virginia Beach give them a ring!

Engagement session

Finally got the chance to upload some of the engagement pictures that Le and I took over the christmas break. It took me forever to do the retouch and Im still learning..Im starting to really love photography! Pictures taken by the awesome Vincent Van Nguyen. Hope you enjoy.
