do you still remember me ?!
we 've been off on a wonderful may break (photos coming soon). then back home to celebrate one more trip around the sun for me. a big thanks to all the lovely people who emailed me, sent cards, flowers & packages ! you are incredible & all this was appreciated more than you can imagine !
how do you guys manage self-portraits ?!! i don't have a clue & this is my best attempt. it was taken before i went to sleep in the wee hours on my birthday (big shock for those who thought i was a blonde !) in the bathroom mirror.
the bathroom that has since changed wall colors, and floor !
because yes we're deep into renovation work. washing, sanding, painting & more painting are my jobs. i guess all this is worth a few hours at the gym because i go to bed feeling all sore & sleep 10 hours of a sound sleep every night.
i miss blogs, and especially interacting with you all, but for now i don't have any time left in the day for the internet. hopefully soon.... till then, happy monday to you !
How can I forget about you, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you look fine and seem to have happy and busy days with your family :))
Yes, very looking forward to your lovely photos!
There you are :)
ReplyDeleteVery happy belated birthday my dear friend!!! Hope it was spectacular :)
What a beautiful and successful self-portrait. Very, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI wish you - unfortunately too late - all the best for your birthday, I hope you have seen a particular day. And I look forward to your photos, hopefully I will see here soon.
Hi, beautiful lady! I've missed you. I love this self portrait.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful indeed! I've been thinking of you, my dear lady! You've been very missed around here. Happiest of years to you. And can't wait to see pics of the renovations!
ReplyDeleteHello you! It's a beautiful self-portrait. Hope the renovation work is going smoothly.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely to 'see' you x
ReplyDeleteGood to see you dear... :))) Love the SP! You've got a gorgeous hair... no wonder from whom L has inherited hers!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely week! Keep in touch!
Good morning. Good to see you Valerie. It's a very pretty selfportrait. Your hair is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLate, but happy birthday to you.
And good luck with the renovation.
Hugs, Pauline
I hope that you had a wonderful break and a lovely May birthday, Valerie.
ReplyDeleteI knew all along that you would turn out to be a beautiful, darkhaired woman. The georgeous looks match the beauty inside you for sure. :))
Great so "see" you Valérie ;-) et oui, c'est la saison des rénovations, :)
ReplyDeleteBon lundi et belle semaine à toi Valérie!!
ReplyDeleteben oui, je croyais que tu étais blonde ! pourquoi puisque ta fille est brunette? hmmm! je vis d'où vvient sa magnifique chevelure.
ReplyDeletej'ai fait des recherches et ai toruvé un endroit pour le metallic print. te reviens bientôt à ce sujet.
oh et joyeux anniversaire en retard !
et bon courage pour les travaux !
hello, lovely lady! you should have more pictures of yourself on here! you're gorgeous and that beautiful hair...!!! i always wanted curly hair, but i got wavy instead. ah well, i got a boy who has some lovely curls. so that makes me happy. ;) hope you had a perfect birthday!! i am always at a loss of what to do on my birthday. i think just spending time with your loved ones and having a stress free day is probably my favorite thing to do. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. i'm finally getting back to exercising, but it's only for 10 min a day. and i'm sure i should do more, but i figure it's better to get into a routine than work myself too hard! :) take care xo
Bonsoir, Valerie!
ReplyDeleteI thought you were on vacation instead of that you had to work, well, but after all the hard work you will have a great cozy home ^-^
I think it's worth the sore muscles, hehehe ;-P
I wanted to send you something sweet, but I don't have your address :-(
Maybe next time?
It's the second time that I see a little bit of you, this time more than last time, yeah, I know, I'm soooo curious.... I like the magic of black and white photos and of your eye(s) of course, hehe
Have a great start of your week, so long me
Well hi! Nice to see you:) Your hair is amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry,we'll stay here waiting for you:)
Je n'ai jamais essayé l'auto-portrait... je trouve le tien très intéressant! Un flou léger qui garde un brin de mystère :)
ReplyDeleteJ'espère que tes vacances t'ont fait beaucoup de bien... comme l'océan me manque dès que je m'en éloigne!
A bientôt peut être :)
thank you friends !
ReplyDeletenathalie et cetera : la génétique a ses mystères sait-on jamais ! :P
anna allen : i thought these were waves, but thanks of you say they look like curls ! :) what i like best for my BD is something unusual that i can remember. relaxed with no schedule works well for me, too. it seems as if there 's a BIG month of June coming for you, doesn't it ?
jenny : i may transfer my hibernating my houseblog on blogspot someday ! ;) for you all to see what a wreck we live in !
mecamo : danke schön :) i'll msg you
a little happier : flou pas artistique du tout, juste accidentel = 1 kilo dans la main et 1h+ du mat'tu penses !! oui j'aime aussi la proximité de l'eau c'est dans mes gênes !
hello sweet woman.... I knew it before... of course you aren't blonde!
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ton auto portrait! Ah les belles brunes...
ReplyDeleteRosaMaria & sylvie : ;)!! you sweet girls !

I know I commented on this post too...I don't know what happened to it. Your hair is so beautiful and curly. I don't know what you were talking about not having good hair. It also doesn't look much shorter than mine.
