I want to hold you hand...

I still remember the first time I was holding hand with my husband.  It's been years ago, but the memory is still fresh like it just happened yesterday.  I always think that holding hand is more inmitate than kissing and perhaps other PDAs.  And I am not the only one said that, Dalton Conley, a professor and chairman of the department of sociology at New York University has agreed with me, “Hand-holding is the one aspect that’s not been affected by the sexual revolution,” said  “It’s less about sex than about a public demonstration about coupledom.”

Hand-holding is a very speical and innocent moment between couples -

To hold someone’s hand is to offer them affection, protection or comfort. It is a way to communicate that you are off the market. Practically speaking, it is an efficient way to squeeze through a crowd without losing your partner. People do it during vigils, marches, weddings and funerals.
(source from the New York Times, Oct 5, 2006 issue)

And different ways of holding your parterner has special meaning too, if you are interested to de-code the meaning, click here.

There are so many ways to show your partner your love and care, of course, holding hand is one of them.  Writing them a letter/card, flying her a paper airplane to tell that person you miss him/her, or stuffing a special note in a fortune cookie to suprise her/him...

Here is a little fun project inpsired by LOVE:

Signed, sealed, delivered, I am yours...

Trying to get as detail as possible, this is the back of the envelope.

Show her your love on a "sweet" candy way (these heart shaped candies are made with fondant)

Or surprise her when she crack the fortune cookie=)

 Or drop her a love note in the classroom

And for those, who could not be with your love this year -
Do you wish the paper airplane could go straight to the one you love and show her how much you miss her?!

love, thou art every day my Valentine!"

Lady Gaga Inspired Cucpakes on "All Things Cupcake"

I am so glad to see my creation on "All Things Cupcake" website (this is another very popular cupcake site for the cupcake lovers).  Find out what they thought about my cupcakes and which one is their favorite by clicking here. 

When I was sharing this great news with my mother-in-law by text msg.  She had a fabulous idea; she mentioned that I should send Lady Gaga a picture of the cupcakes.  And I did!  I sent her a picture of my Lady Gaga's cupcakes through Twitter last night.  I am not sure if she is going to respond, at least I tried (no regret).

Mr. G, I and my famous world travel cupcake are heading to the beautiful Washington State for my friend's wedding this evening.  I will see you guys next week, have a wonderful weekend!
