Ok i am going all random here!I am breaking my rule of posting no personal photos other than my profile photo on this blog..
Did ya know we had snow few days ago? yes snow!
Check these photos out!

my daughters trying to make a snow man…lol!

And then there was Diwali this weekend!To answer Jim’s question: no its not symbolic .We actually celebrate it.
Here are pics from my home : rangoli ( sandpainting decoration) and diyas( lamps)





Oh i was also thinking of giving out 4 awards to my friends on this post!But i am getting late, i need to cook!Hence that is for some other post.

oh WOW…really WOW…the rangolis are soooooo ncie!..
and yea, it snowed already…can’t believe it’s just mid-october when we got the first snow..where is fall?
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!
baby pink rangoli stands out !!
loved the pics ..
Brrr! It is to early for snow. It looks like the kids are having a great time though.
That’s so cute! I’ll e-mail you tonight, promise!
Totally cute! awww snow
Snow already! I am so not ready for snow.
Thanks for the follow…I’m following you via Google connect. =) I am so ready for snow! Wishing we lived somewhere that snow was snowboard-able.
Beautiful sand decorations by the way…
I love the sandpaintings! They are beautiful, along with the lamps. It has been cold where I am, but no snow yet! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Wow, those are really pretty! How do you do them?
i have these net designs which i use to make them…basically strain the powder at the right place..!its very easy!
Your daughters are adorable!! I love their matching pink snow outfits.
…It has not snowed yet in Ohio. I keep hoping for global warming to happen!!! Promises promises!!

Seems you had a lot of fun !!!! so did they manage to make the snow man ??
Lovely pics! Happy Diwali! Looks like you had a lovely time! Your Diwali decorations are amazing!
Snow already? Wow!
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.
Those designs are absolutely beautiful! And so is the candlelight!
Beautiful and fun – thanks for sharing. We had snow here as well… and then it’s supposed to be 70* F tomorrow. Crazy!And Happy Diwali!!
wow…beautiful rangoli and lovly kids dear:)…
Hello there. I would like you to come visit my page as i have selected to give you an award….Enjoy and Oh ican’t wait till we get snow here at home….
I’m glad you like Isadora!
That pic of your girls is gorgeous! I love how they’re trying even with only a little bit of snow
Thanks for stopping by my blog:) I hope you all start feeling better really soon…Take care:)
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.
It’s ok. We like personal photos! Those are great. Thanks for sharing.
