Ring In The New Year

I am all set to enjoy New Year eve with my family at home sweet home.
How you have planned to ring in the New Year. Are you ready with your New Year Resolution list. If still not then here are some wonderful ideas on how to set goals and how to make New Year's resolutions stick:

1. Begin it with hope and enthusiasm.
2. Set realistic goals and believe that you can do it.
3. Begin with the end in mind.
4. Plane well, then practice slowly and become pro.
5. Talk about your goals with friends & family and ask for support.

Now if you already have decided to stick to your resolutions, its time to make a list of New Year Resolutions. Here are some ideas:

1. Get organized.
2. Get some exercise and try to stay fit.
3. Quit smoking/drinking.
4. Spend more quality time with family.
5. Learn something new you never learnt as a child.
6. Sort out financial worry, get out of debt.
7. Mend broken relationships
8. Choose good food, be vegan.
9. Take a trip where you have never been before.
10. Meditate everyday for 15 mins.
11. Overcome your fears.
12. Volunteer for an NGO.
13.  Do something nice for others everyday, help others.
14. Do something for your country, fight against corruption.
15. Last but the most important 'RESPECT WOMEN'.


With hope in my heart that someday we all people around the world will make our countries a safe and better place to live.

Sharing Spreads Love & Happiness

Heard and believed that 'sharing' spreads love & happiness. So sharing today a very well written, lovely post. As I read the post and saw beautiful painting made by Ritu Dua who blogs @ Beneath My Heart Art I wanted to share it with all my lovely blog readers.

Please go through the post : 'When God Created Mothers' and let Ritu know your views through comments and show some love by following her blog.
Her post made me feel so nostalgic that I took out socks knitted by my Mom, wore it and yes while soaking in sun I clicked a picture just to share with you all. Mothers are great!!!

Socks Knitted By Mom For Me
I feel so proud of my Mom. She is a versatile,very talented lady and my continuous source of inspiration. 
Mother's Love is Unconditional Love.


Wishing you all a very happy weekend and stay creative friends!!

Surprise Gift!

Greetings, friends!
 
I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas with your family and friends and are able to take a deep breath and relax a bit now that it's all over! 
 
As for my gang, we're still cleaning up bits of wrapping paper here and there, as well as starting the daunting task of Christmas "take down." (ugh)
 
But, before I forge ahead, I simply had to give a "shout out" to my sweet husband for surprising me with this beauty for Christmas:

 
I had *noooo* idea that he was going to do that and can't wait to get to know it better (although, admittedly, I'm a bit intimidated by its fancy lenses and *grown up* features)!  If you're a Nikon D3100 owner and have any tips and tricks you'd like to share, I'm all ears!
 
Until then, you can find me in an OCD panic, as I deal with boxes, glitter and *mess* everywhere!
 
Happy New Year!

Winter and Warmth Of Sunlight

Its not very chilled weather in my part of the world but there is a feel of winter all around. Warm soft sunlight streaming into the living room and making my Buddha more bright and  tranquil.

My "Best Of" 2012




I have selected 10 of my projects that were done in 2012 as my favorites because they are the most  beautiful or beneficial to our home and how we live. In no particular order...
1) New Hobby Garage


This was built by an excellent builder and friend. He put this up in 23 days and it looks like it has always been here connected to our 15 year old house! I use one bay as my space to paint
