All in One – Prizes, Awards and a Meme

How are you all? I am enjoying the time with my sister. When I arrived at her place, I was overjoyed to see the prizes that were already waiting for me here (I gave my sister’s address just in case). Yes, you guessed it right! I received the prizes from the two contests that I have recently won. You can imagine my happy face after seeing them, :)

The above beautiful necklace (sponsored by Lakshaya) is the prize I got for the "Fortune Cooking Contest" hosted by the very talented duo Nithu and Shriya. Thank you so much for such a beautiful necklace dear Nithu and dear Shriya! Wow, I have no words to describe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Here is another beautiful prize (and it’s a surprise gift) I got for the fun-filled contest, “Open Sesame I” initiated by another dynamic duo Siri and Dhivya. They have sent this fabulous book as if they’ve read my mind! I am a great fan of Tarla Dalal, the famous Indian cooking author. I am overwhelmed with joy to receive this wonderful book of hers as a surprise gift. Thank you so much dear Siri and dear Dhivya for selecting such a great book and of course for hosting such an enjoyable contest.
