IT'S BIRTHDAY WEEK!!!
It's that time of year when I turn another year older, but not before I have a little fun doing ALL the things I love to do! I hope to stretch out the festivities into what I call
"BIRTHDAY WEEK"
Take time to smell the roses
Birthdays are for
spending time with my mother...
and my sisters
and my husband 
and daughter
Birthdays are for 
getting all dolled up
to go out
and celebrate
and dance!
Birthdays are for shopping
with girlfriends
and eating cake
and doing more shopping 
together in New York City
window shopping
...and shoe shopping!
Birthdays are for relaxing 
with a great box of chocolates
or some yummy ice cream 
and a good book or decorating magazine
and some comfy slippers after all that dancing!
And when "BIRTHDAY WEEK" is over with all theexcitement and goodies...
it's time to get in some much needed
Exercise!!!

After all, I've got to take care of myself. I did just turn another year older
..... 29.....RIGHT??????
A very special THANK YOU to
BELLA PILAR
for letting me use her images to tell my story about
"Birthday Week"
She is an amazingly talented artist with an attention to detail, as you can tell from her whimsical, feminine paintings.
As soon as I saw her work it was love at first sight.
If you didn't notice, I think she loves leopard as much as I do!
Go to her website to see more from this very talented lady.
I'm sure you'll fall in love with her work just like I did.
I hope you enjoy!!

Love this Birthday celebration these pictures are the best...I was just wondering where you got them all when I read the end of your post. She is very creative...will have to check her out.
Yes my byte thing has be really upset because blog sites eat up bytes with all their pictures..That is why I only show one post on my page now at a time....
Everyone is kind and tells me to sweitch but living where I do there is no other option at least for the time being.
Hope you have a very special Birthday and eat a piece of cake for me too.
