Merry Christmas

Here is wishing you all a Merry Christmas...

My tree stood with pride..

Santa got us a few gifts... Last minute shopping.... with Anu's help... stars made my house look all Christmasy... My girls crib (more like a farm house).... was complete with the red star..

The kings came early this year...

My new idea for the dining table....

A few candles... a few sparkles... a few crinkles...

a mirror underneath...

and it looked amazing..

A better pic for you to see... What do you think?

Mirror from my earlier post... all dressed up for the day...

Everything together.... looked like this...

Now tell me.... what do you think of my dining table dekor??

Hope my angels.... bring cheer in your lives...

Wish you love, laughter, peace & gratitude

This is my last post for the year....

So... here is wishing you

a Merry Christmas

&

a fabulous year ahead...

See you in 2010!

2 days to Christmas

Everything seems to be sparkling... But there are no gifts under my tree... (I guess Santa comes only at midnight)...

The girls decorated the tree this year..... so everything red, gold & white is on the tree... randomly... no thought given to the lights or the decor... but looks (rather crowded)... but great!!

A few more decorations will go up today... And the star ofcourse... So promise to post more (better ;-) as well) pics... later...

Wishing you all.... Happy Holidays...

Simple Christmas Decor

Simple Christmas decor at the Al Ain Intercontinental....

I still have lots to do for Christmas... Still some decorations to put up... some craft work to do... shopping for gifts... make some sweets... Yes... 5 days more and lots to do!!

Spirit of Christmas

I am happy... happy... happy today.. My Santa arrived from Sydney last night.. And when I'm happy.. I need to add to some cheer on my center table.. So at 5am today... a few pretty things... crinkle paper.... in an IKEA vase. Looked a bit incomplete.... In the true spirit of Christmas... this is what I did!!

HE needed some place before being in the crib on 25th Dec...

Did you like my joy??? Here is wishing you all a Merry Christmas.... well in advance.

Random red & gold

Randomly putting together red & gold... in an IKEA vase to make it look Christmasy.... A little bit of sparkle..

I picked this box in Colombo..... It will soon be filled with chocolates..

Do you like my red box?? Does it look Christmasy?

Birthday Party

It was pouring here on Friday… and the pool party had to be cancelled. We didn’t have a second plan ready… and didn’t have the time to plan!! We had loads of décor ideas planned for the garden / pool party… but we had to move indoors. So we put up half the decorations almost randomly… Here are a few pics of the flip flop themed party… Lets start with a flip flop balloon….
A few banners..
The kids arrived and we were still putting up the rest of the décor…

Another special birthday banner...

Napkins ... all ready for a meal...

What do you think of the cake...

A closer look...

the muffins... with flip flops on them...

a closer look....

the pinata....

the kids got to take these little tote bags home... and I sure hope they will reuse the bags...

Thank you to my army of elves... without them, the party would not have been possible... We were running out of time.. and hence forgot to click pictures of other hanging decor .... There were some pretty lanters... and other stuff... I've saved the decor for next time...

At the end.... we were exhausted... but the kids had a great time.... Hope you enjoyed seeing the photographs... as much as we enjoyed preparing for the party...

Weekened cheer

My weekend is going to be super busy.... filled with excitement, enthusiasm and loads of fun (I hope!) .. Saying that.. my weekends are always busy *sigh* At this point, flowers is the only thing that can truly cheer me up....

So here is me... passing on some of my weekend cheer to you...

I love flowers, in any colour.... in any shape.... in any container!!

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
