Twyla Tuesday

It's been a topsy turvy week around here. Preparations for Lindsey's 21st birthday party was the main order of business.

We needed haircuts this week and I thought it would be fun to share with you how we get our hair cut. We are fortunate enough to have found a wonderful hairdresser who prefers to cut hair in your house rather than in a shop. I don't know who snapped this picture of me getting my hair cut, but thought I would be brave and share it with you.

We really do make a big deal out of birthdays. We happen to think people should feel special on their birthday. We usually choose a theme for each birthday and that guides us as to decorations and gifts. This year for Lindsey's we chose Barbie as the theme. I am only going to give you a sneak peak at what it looked like because Lindsey is going to share it on her Barbie Wednesday post tomorrow.

The gas gauge on my car went out last week. You would think that I would have known better after running out of gas once, but Thursday night while Jordan and I were shopping for balloons for Lindsey's birthday party it happened again. I was trying to leave the Wal Mart parking lot when the wheel locked up and the car stopped. I sent Jordan across the street to get gas when a lady pulled up beside me and rolled down her window. "Are you alright? Do you need help?" I replied that I ran out of gas. She saw Jordan crossing the street and she said, "We'll go help him." The lady and her husband got the gas can, insisted on paying for the gas and proceeded to fill our tank so that we could be on our way. I was so touched I cried. I never felt so taken care of before. It was so amazing to me that every step we took that night allowed us to be at that place at the exact time that this angel of a lady was behind our car when it ran out of gas. It reminded me of the verse: In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He will direct thy paths. - Proverbs 3:6

I found this Thanksgiving postcard this week in a flea market. I love Thanksgiving postcards and especially the ones with turkeys on them. Feel free to copy the image and use in your art projects. Yes, we have so much to be thankful for.

Wishing you all much happiness! Twyla
