      I second that! Rangoli’s have turned so good.. are they hand drawn or use some kind of pattern to get it so nice?

    I’m glad you broke your rule because the pictures are really cute! I love that they were using a little flower shovel for the snow! :)

    The rangoli and diyas look especially beautiful!

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments!
    I uses a strainer like thing which strains out the colored sand at the right places…you can say it works like a stensil!!

    Also Hitch, no they got distracted and started making a castle and then half way, one of my daughters said it was like a cake so they cut into littlest pieces and threw at each other.
    My hand was too cold by the time so i could not take too many pics later…

    it’s way too early for snow!! I be the twins loved it…

    Did you make the sand art or is it affixed to a backing? (my, I’m nosey?) It really is quite lovely.

    Wow, beautiful snow and cute lil girls. Pink all over makes me happy.

    The Rangoli’s have come out so good, even with a mesh you got to have a skill. Wonderful.

    The sand paintings are very cool. I’m guessing you use a stencil? Can’t help but wonder if there is some significance or if they are used for a festive decoration. the lamps are really petty.
