Business Idea Number 360: Imported from Heaven.

If I have the money, I would buy a small country and call it Heaven. My people would be specialized in producing indulgent products for export. Just imagine, a box of chocolate labeled “Imported from Heaven” surely sound a lot tastier than “Made in USA”.

My Beloved Art Director.

“If you love everyone, everyone would love you.” I told my 3-year-old daughter. So, we spent the last weekend making Valentine’s Day cards for all her friends in school. We used stickers, rub-on lettering, scissors, metallic cards and all kind of fun stuffs. She was very excited. By the time we finished the eighth card or so, her little hands got tired. So she ended up art directing me to finish up the rest of the pieces for her. She asked me to cut the cards in certain shapes: such as squares, heart-shapes and triangles. Then, she picked out the rub-on lettering in certain colors and styles and ask me to rub them on certain positions. After that, she placed on stickers to wrap up the pieces. By the time we finished all fourteen cards, I managed to keep my art director very satisfied. And I also managed to guard my scissors from the several attempted steals by her fellow 1-year-old director-to-be. Mission accomplished!
