3 things

Our new year celebrations mainly involve a visit to the temple so we did just that as the first thing in the morning on the new year day .ie. Monday. At this time of the year, everybody is talking about goals and resolutions, I do have some but will talk about it in another post, for now let me show you 3 things from my past week.

CAKE.Our new year cake bought from a newly setup bakery nearby. Couldn't wait for long for such delicious looking cake,so we cut it on new year's eve evening :o).

SCRABBLE.This crossword puzzle belongs to my niece but she lets everybody else play with it too. We all had a go at the game this long weekend and had so much fun.Did I tell you that scrabble is my most favorite board game? I just *love* it.

Handmade BDAY card. We have a dear one's birthday just after the new year. All through last year I made sure each one in my family received a card on their birthday made by me.It turned out to be one of my pet projects last year and my niece is my collaborator in making the cards. This one was made in just 10 minutes and my niece suggested we feature a TRAIN in the card,which is my fathers most favorite thing. Needless to say he loved the card very much.

The front..

 and the center..

 a close up of the train..the numbers hold a significant meaning to my dad and he was stunned to see them there.

Okay,thats it for now. And oh by the way..

Happy new year to all !! Lets hope its a good one !!!
