what a beautiful beginning for 'your' august and with a birthday to celebrate soon. those balloons would be a nice fit for you, i think. have a great day.
ReplyDeleteit's all about you baby...all about it.
ReplyDeleteand a week of birthday sounds good to me too. and lots of balloons to lift you to the moon (and back)
I hope your August is everything you hope it will be, beginning with your birthday wish.... Brightly colored balloons that lift you off the ground sound absolutely perfect!
ReplyDeleteenJOY!
My sister's birthday is the 8th. I bought her a hoops and yoyo card that says, "We bow before you, your Birthday Highness." And a translucent golden globe - a balloon out of blown glass, if you will. She deserves to be lifted up on her birthday, too. Must be somethin' special about these August girls...
ReplyDeleteI can even picture you photographing those balloons so beautifully! Happy August!
ReplyDeleteSimon shares your birthday!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I like you so much! I'm on the 28th! You deserve fields and fields of balloons to keep you soaring beautiful one.
ReplyDeleteMy mom's is the 4th!! And by the sounds of it...you are in very good company.
ReplyDeleteHope you get lots of brightly colored balloons.
Hugs

Happy Birthday (in advance). A perfect excuse and reason to celebrate the month of August!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday early. I hope you get your wishes. I was with you until you said no cake. Yeah - gotta have my cake.
ReplyDeleteoh gorgeous sunflower field in the previous post. early birthday greetings to you, beth. mine is later on this month. and i agree... birthdays are not quite the same without balloons :)
ReplyDeleteSo this is your birthday month. I used to tell my kids their birthdays were the whole month. So many things were centered around the birthday person. They could pick what to have for dinner and pick a movie we would see. I hope you enjoy your birthday month and enjoy the bright colored balloons.
ReplyDeleteBalloons and birthdays go hand in hand and I hope you get lots of them in pretty bright colors.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great big bouquet of brightly colored birthday balloons Beth.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
jj
August is my month too! I will be celebrating 50 birthdays!!!
ReplyDeleteAren't Birthday months the best? Queen of the Month! I know 2 other people who have August 7th birthdays- you are with a good group! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteOhhh a birthday... :) I love this. All about me!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get lots of big, bright red balloons! Happy Birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteYour picture only has one word.
happy birthday beth! i like quiet birthdays too. and balloons are always a must!
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of balloons, and maybe they could drop you off in that field of sunflowers, right in the middle, with a blanket and a basket for a lovely picnic...
ReplyDeleteHappy early birthday if I don't remember on your actual one! I'd buy you a bunch of balloons if we didn't live so far away! Wnjoy your August Break - I've been loving mine and it's only been one day!

I personally believe that everyone should celebrate a birthday week rather than day:) Have a super wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday on 8/7!!
ReplyDeleteI am wishing you a huge bouquet of balloons Beth all carrying much love and many hugs....:-)
ReplyDeleteGood on you Beth, a month of "me" sounds like a great plan. As part of Susannah's August Break I am linking to a different person on the blog roll each day and today I've chosen you.
ReplyDeleteHappy August Break!
ha! how cool is that. My birthday is on the 6th. Honestly, I think my parents had very little to do over December because my sister is the 9th (which in SA falls on woman's day so she has a public holiday every year on her b-day) and my brother is the 29th, although he is a Virgo.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I prefer small parties, or even just the family. Nothing much. Maybe dinner, a few laughs, love and companionship. Perfect! (although I have to admit that I would be happy to snuggle in with a good book as well).
did you say balloons? shh... i am pretty good at balloons.
ReplyDeletexo
Aww of course you deserve balloons. I'll wish you a very happy birthday right here and now because I don't think I'll be around my computer on the 7th. Wishing you the very best of days.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in-flight myself on the 7th - if I see a woman drifting in the clouds with a smile on her face, I'll know it's you, Beth. Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteI like quiet birthdays too. I also like the way your photographs make me see life better. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI hope August is spoiling you.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that these summer months are moving along a wee bit too fast for my liking.
Speaking of balloons, have you seen Up?
So good!
