I shut my eyes,
clicked my heals three times
and repeated
"There's no place like HOME".
It comforts me like no where else
in this whole world.

My dear friend Janet, Many, many happy returns and I wish you everything that you wish yourself on your birthday and that you have all of your family and friends around you.My favourite birthday has honestly been ALL OF THEM. I could never pick a favourite, as I always have a wonderful time, as long as my husband, children, family and friends are with me......it doesn't matter where we are or where we go as long as they are there.Even as a child, I loved my birthday. It always felt so special and had a magical feel to the day. Enjoy every minute of yours, Janet.HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!
Thank you Jackie
for your comment & for reminding me that
All of Them
are special when shared with those we love!!
So true.
Visiting Jackie is just like being
HOME.
There is truly no place like it.
HOME is more than a just another Beautiful blog...
it is where to go when you feel a need
to go home~
of you that shared your
stories, memories & wishes
from
your sweet sweet hearts~
even when you choose
to stay HOME
on your birthday~
I Love my HOME...
HOME truly is where
my heart is.
HOME is where I feel
most loved
&
most comfortable.
HOME is where tender messages
&
flowers come...
It is where my family is
&
where my friends know where to find me.
Thank you Sweet Melissa

and can stay in pajamas

Oh my goodness Janet,
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how touched I am by this.
It's so funny because I was just over at your wonderful friend Lynn's @ Paris Hotel Boutique Journal,where she has done a lovely post for your birthday and I thought, Janet hasn't done a post lately, but, I'll go over and leave a birthday message on her last post and what do I find........ that I've won your birthday giveaway and it's coupled with such lovely, kind words about little old me and my little old blog !! I'm so sorry that I am so late to have seen this post. I have changed my order of blogs that I follow. I put them in order of posting but, I don't think that it works very well !!! I seem to be missing some posts.
Anyway, I digress.
Janet, you were one of my first followers and one of the first blogs that I found. I was overwhelmed by your blog when I found it. The beautiful images, the writen word. All was amazing and I could never live up to that, but you have been a great inspiration to me. I think that I have an affinity to all of the beautiful things that you love and it is such a delight to come over to French Blue.
I could go on all day waxing lyrical about all of the lovely things you do and say, Janet.
Suffice it to say, you are a beautiful person and an inspiration to so many and I am honoured to call you my blogging friend.
Many, many thanks for the amazingly generous giveaway......... but most of all I wish you the most wonderful of birthdays, filled with happiness, love and special treats. I know that you will savour every moment of your special day and enjoy it to the full with your friends and family.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET. With much love XXXX
Happy Happy Happy Birthday! Your birthday post is DIVINE !! I really do love all these gorgeous pictures!!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful day with the sweetest gateau, the loveliest flowers and a lot of colorful balloons!!!

Oh my things are lovely over here! It is so nice to meet you..totally being swept away.
ReplyDeleteI'm here, I'm here and hope that it was a wonderful birthday Janet, I thought of you all day and it is such a shame I can't just drop in and see you isn't it? I hope that everyone spoiled you and you enjoyed the day at HOME. They (the workers) are almost out of my house and I finally get my wrap room back and so your special delivery is almost ready. Almost.
