Ganpati Bappa !!!

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to everyone ... May Ganesha fill your house with love and smiles and his grace be always there on you. I took some pics after decorating for this day and then did puja with my hubby. I love the purple flowers that are fresh from our garden and the whole orange purple look that came out with all that I had here. This Ganesha statue was given to me by my mom and is very special to me ... and the purple mala is something I made in the beading class ... We are going to the puja in evening at my friend Madhavi's house .. I am so glad that she is doing it and I get to be a part of it ... do let me know what you did .....I can't wait to hear from everyone how did they celebrate this day ...
