Wish you all a wonderful New Year 2012 full of much love, health, peace, joy, bliss and everything you need!
Hope the New Year has started in a very nice way for all of you! I somehow just cannot believe that 2011 is over and 2012 hasn’t sunk in yet – I’ve been typing 2011 still and correcting it to 2012 every single time.. Time just flies, isn’t it?
2011 has been crazily unforgettable and a tremendously eventful year, leaving the earth shaken and the world frazzled. I don’t know what 2012 has to offer to all of us, but, I’d love to share a quote from my all time favorite movie Shawshank Redemption:
Remember, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
Here’s hoping that 2012 will be a much better year in every way for every one.. and bidding goodbye to 2011 with a peek into the year’s favorites – yours and mine, on Just Home Made. Thank you for your love and support all year through..

Happy New Year Radhika, my first time on your blog, came from Karnataka food blogs listing. You have a very nice blog, I just have done my initial glancing, will definitely book mark and come back. Many of the recipes sound familiar as I am from Mysore too at the same time I see many unique ones too, will try them. I recently started my food blog, stop by when you get a chance.

I am not sure if I told you lately, but the photos are amazing. Please do a photo How-To if you find the time. I love the topaz blue background that you have. Its gorgeous !!
Radhika says
Thank you Shil for your kind compliments.
Some day, I wish to.
BTW, that blue is from Martha Stewart sample paint boxes – they have an array of pastel shades. You could buy one of those (doesn’t cost much) and paint a scrap wood board..
