Heading Towards The New Year!!

2013 is making its way out and we are getting ready to usher in the New Year! This past year has been very eventful for me. It has been both good and bad. In some ways, I end this year as a wiser and stronger person! The most important lesson that I have learnt this year is to be grateful for what I have. Life is unpredictable and its best to cherish what you have. For me, its my family, my friends and my home! I am sure its the same for most of you! I hope your New Year comes around on a positive note. Remember to smile, cherish what you have and live your dreams.....





These are some pictures I took at a family Christmas dinner! I am sending some twinkling lights your way to brighten your day :)

A crackling fire, yummy food, family and good times....

Weekend Magic and Fathers Day

Hello there! I know  I have family visiting so its been busy at the MDC Casa! Summer has arrived in my neck of the woods. Long days filled with abundant sunshine and glorious sunsets!

Here is an image I took of the sunset last evening by the water! It was truly a magical sight.

Tomorrow is Father's day and these words echo my sentiments completely :) Have a great Father's Day and a wonderful Sunday!!

A Special Place Close To Home

The weekend is here and we are heading towards a glorious couple of days. The temperature is going to rise up to 80 degrees!! This is a cause of celebration in my part of town :) I am raising my glass to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. From the snow capped peaks....to the sea and the lakes.....to the surreal sunsets.....there is magic all around!



This is a shot of my favorite spot. I was here yesterday to watch the sun go down. I come here often to enjoy the simple things in life. Being outdoors with my family.....watching my kids play..... the sparkle in the water, the glow of the sun and .........simply to smile and unwind :)



Have a Happy Happy Weekend my friends!!

Valentines Day and Some News

Happy Valentines Day to all my lovely readers. I hope this day and everyday of your life is filled with love, laughter, and friendship!

I  have a busy and exciting ten days coming up. I might be away from My Dream Canvas for a little while. I shall try and post as often as I can. It is hard to keep me away from here! However, there is going to be so much happening that its going to be tough :) More details on that soon!



This is a picture I took last year of the cherry blossoms close to home. This image reminds me of Spring........ I hope it gets here soon :) My Valentines Day was more about writing 40 plus cards for my kids classmates. I am buried under all the paper work, pencils and rice crispies :)



Have a fun day wherever you are. I shall see you around....

A Few Of My Favorite Things

If I were to make a lit of things that I love to do........this would be on the top of my list. For me, its heading to the lake close to home with my family to watch the sunset. On a brilliant day there is nothing prettier than this spot in the Pacific Northwest. My kids love running around and chasing the ducks. I walk a little, play ball with them and then just sit around and enjoy the view!

We never get tired of this!



I took these pictures last evening. I am always thinking that we should spend more time outdoors and enjoy the simple joys in life!

What do you think?



What tops your list? Have a Happy Friday everyone!
