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 outand celebrateand dance!Birthdays are for shopping
with girlfriendsand eating cakeand doing more shopping together in New York Citywindow shopping...and shoe shopping!Birthdays are for relaxing with a great box of chocolatesor some yummy ice cream and a good book or decorating magazineand some comfy slippers after all that dancing!
And when "BIRTHDAY WEEK" is over with all the
excitement and goodies...

it's time to get in some much neededExercise!!!

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!!

Great Blog and the art is so cool. Happy B~Day. Beautiful pic's on your older post. Have a good one.
Happy Birthday, Gail! Wish I was there to celebrate with you. Especially the ice cream part. ;)
Gail how really odd that I came on here this evening and found your comment because on my way to work today I was thinking that you and I had lost contact. So I had planned when I got home to check on you and then there you were on my site. Life is strange isn't it.
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.
So happy we connected today.lol and no your breath is fine its only me...lol
Love

Hello Sweet Friend and a very Happy Birthday Week to you! I adore you girl and I wish you all the wonderful things your heart desires.

I am completely smitten with Bella Pilar, her work is fabulous and makes my heart skip beats!

Thank you Gail for your lovely comment, I really appreciate your offer...I was wondering, do you know anyone that clones? I need one of me to work, clean house and do laundry and then another me to craft, visit with blog buddies and shop. Let me know! LOL

Big Birthday hugs to you Sweet Friend!!

Birthday WEEK? Maybe that's why I like you so much :) If anyone can pull off stretching out a birthday...it's you :) I hope you get to do soemthing fun with Megan! My sis Rach is pretty good at it too. Her birthday is in August, but she starts her wish list in about March. I am not even kidding. Oh & this year she is turning 32 so she has a theme...sweet 16 times too. She kills me :)

But I hope you have a BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY!!! If I weren't so bad at mailing I would send you a card :) But if I got bought one now...you wouldn't get it until May or maybe June...I have a stack of Thank Yous that I still need to adress from ages ago...they are so over due that at this point it is embarrassing to send them! But I will...probably in about a month :) (One is to you :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAIL!!!

Happy Birthday! Mimi at Bonjour Romance directed me to your blog thinking I would like it and she was correct! Beautiful blog looking forward to following you!
The only thing better than Birthday Week is Birthday Month! Mine was earlier this month. Have a fabulous fun week! Love the images!
