Friday morning ... was tiding up the girls room... and preparing for the new year in school.. After a two week break ... it isn't easy to get back into the routine..
I simply had to visit my regular stores for some inspiration... on Friday... so I wandered off to Home Center and then to this store called Freedom....

Oh.. and I've been awarded the Stylish Blogger award by the lovely Neha of All Things Beautiful... and One Lovely Blog & You are the Best Blogger Award by Emreen of Liven Things Up... (Sorry... sweets for forgetting this... )

Dont you just love the buddha?? and the elephants?? I didn't really buy anything.... but the stuff in this store is absolutely amazing...
I needed a break from the regular... so Caribou Coffee at DIFC on a Friday... is like bliss!!
Saturday.... was the big game... This is how my home looked... All seats, sofas, cushions... facing in one direction... *smiles* ... We had a few friends over.. and it was a lovely evening... I met a friend from school after 20 years... She joined in to watch the match with her two lovely daughters...


We cheered our team to victory...

Oh.. and I've been awarded the Stylish Blogger award by the lovely Neha of All Things Beautiful... and One Lovely Blog & You are the Best Blogger Award by Emreen of Liven Things Up... (Sorry... sweets for forgetting this... )
The good thing about awards... is passing them on... so I'm going to attempt at passing these awards to some fabulous bloggers.. and hopefully introduce you to a few inspiring blogs... *smiles*

The rules of accepting the Stylish Blogger Award & the You are the Best Blogger Award .... is that I have to state 7 facts about myself... so here goes... see how well you know me!! *grin*
- Every day of my life… I plan my next vacation. Which means… I simply love to travel!! ~ browsing through holiday packages, checking airfares, hotels, making plans, reading about the destination…. And finally going there and living my dream!! A true vacation is when I can aimlessly stroll through the smallest alleyways looking around into shops….. Not necessarily buying anything, but just enjoying the sites & sounds of the people in that town or city. I can walk.. and walk… and walk… on endless roads…. Peeping into little churches… hearing the birds flutter, appreciating the architecture, sighing at décor!!!
- I am a morning person… I can wake up at 2am… 3am… and go to work… or de-clutter, clean and sort… But I cant stay awake beyond 11pm!!
- Dark Chocolate is my weakness… Morning, afternoon, evening, night... give me a slab and I'll have a bite!! (or more)
- I do not eat tuna... it is an endangered species... and I believe that if everyone stops eating or buying tuna... there would not be a market for them... and hopefully... they'd be able to survive...
- I can’t sit through a movie at a cinema... I watch the fist 10mins .. and the last 10mins.. and am asleep in between... specially if the movie is longer than an hour and a half!!
- That said.. I drool over... George Clooney and John Abraham... and can guarantee to stay away during George Clooney's movie...
- I am someday going to own my very own Mahal ... somewhere in between Udaipur & Jaipur... an old one.. that I'd like to restore.... and give my own special touch to!! Even if its a miniature one (that you find on the roadside)... someday.. own it I shall!!
Now... I'm passing the Stylish Blogger Award to 4 creative blogs ..
And You are the Best Blogger Award to :
Yesterday was dramatic Today is OK
.... I'd like to pass on 'One Lovely Blog Award' to ... these three blogs that I love... I read very often.... but sometimes do not have the heart to comment... *smiles*
