Happy Birthday Mum!!!

Today is the day the most valued women in my life was born.. yes my MUM!!!

Mum,

I would just like to tell you that without you I would not have been the person I am today.. You have been by my side through thick and thin.. holding my hand and supporting me.. showering me with love.. I know you don't often express it openly..  but that's kind of your style.. and I love it.. sometimes I think I get it from you.. :P

I just wish I could have been there to celebrate this day with you.. go for shopping and have a fun day!!

You have been my strength always.. although I used to be really afraid of you as a child.. but then, who isn't but as the years went by I have found you to be more as a friend than a mother.. A person I can always turn to in good times and bad!!

Ok, now I feel nostalgic and wish instead of writing this I could have told it to you in person...

Because of you "MUM", I know there is always a way!! On this day I just wanna say Thank you for making me the person I am today, for inspiring me all the way.. for giving me the self confidence and the will power to do anything in life!!!

A VERY VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!!!
I Love You.. :) :)

Black and White!!

The last few months have been crazy busy but a lot of fun!! We have been seeing a lot of new places and also revisiting some of our favorites... WITH FAMILY!! Could it be any better??

So, this weekend.. we went to Vegas.. yay!! It was so much fun!! Walking around all day and night without any sleep.. trying to do as much as we can in a span of 3 days.. well 2.5 to be precise....

But we did manage to squeeze a lot.. by eliminating SLEEP!! I was actually up for about 30 hrs... when we finally came home.. and my bed became my best friend...  I slept like a baby!!

Anyhoo.... This is one of the outfits I wore in Vegas!!!

What I'm wearing : Dress : don't remeber, Shoes : Audrey Brooke (DSW).. it was a steal!! My Accessories : Necklace : NY&co. Bracelet : Forever21; Watch : Fossil; Earrings : Gift from Dad!! ; Cluth : Jimmy Choo

I love the combination of Black and white and if you throw in stripes.. I just had to have it.. Plus I loved the shape of the dress.. I did hit below the knee but It looked so elegant I had to have it... I do not remember the shop I bought it from.. hah!! But it's one of my favorite dresses!!! It gives you that "Hour Glass" figure!!

Sorry for the yellow lighting.. We took the pics in the Hotel Lobby as it was dark outside!!

Do temme what you think about it!!

Weekend Edition VII

 This weekend was all about one activity and the rest just revolved around it....

Our friends decided to take up a little DIY project to amp up their place and we (me and hubby) jumped right in to lend a hand!! We love DIY projects.. and love getting our hands dirty.. well in this case hands, clothes , legs, faces and what not!! 

Playing with color is kinda my job as you all must have known by now... if not check out my art blog and you will come to know for sure... This became kind of an opportunity for me to paint on a bigger canvas... THE WALL or should I say walls... and it was soooo fun!!!

Right from selecting the color to putting on the masking tape and laying down the carpet mask to painting the walls with the brush and finishing with the rollers.. If you have never done it .. you should definitely try.. 

Warning : There will be a burst of Orange here!!! 

Friday Evening started off with a dinner at Souplantation...

Yummy!! :)

Saturday Morning Breakfast :

Hubby couldn't wait for me to snap a pic!! So I had to take a pic while he took a sip of his chocolate milk!! 

My Breakfast : I Love Peaches!! :)

The work begins , Masking the carpet!! Already covered the sofa!!

This little guy wanted to have some painting fun too.... :) He's gonna be an artist like me!! Did you see those firm brush strokes??

Edges are done.. working on the sides!!

Towards completion!!

Final touches!!

Couldn't help posing!! :P

Bright Orange!!

Preparation for the second room!!

Initial masking and edges for the second room done!!

How does it look!!

Time for tea/wine.... 

Me to Hubby : How do you manage to find new places to throw your clothes everytime??
Hubby : I see this house as a canvas and try to paint it with the color of my clothes!!
Me : HUH????

This was pretty much what we did this weekend.. It took it out of us.. We slept at 2 on Saturday, at least I did.. I was so tired I din't know where I was once I was on my bed.. but hubby was still in that state of restlessness and couldn't sleep..of course I gotta know about it when I got up and saw the pate he ate the grilled cheese sandwich in and the empty vintage cola bottle.. and smiled... :) :) When I told him he should have woken me up.. He innocently made the sweetest face and said I just didn't wanna wake u up.. awww... he looked so cute!! :P :P

Well, he slept at 6 in the morning.. so we started second coating the wall a little late.. but we did complete it on time!!!

How does it look?? Can we call ourselves professionals now??

What did you do this weekend?? Are you thinking of taking up some DIY projects???

Linking up with still being Molly for the YOLO Monday Link up..
