Birthday!

Welcome everyone to my birthday party!


My dear children and best friend chose a 'postcard' theme
for my birthday party! 


They all know how much I love old postcards.  Lindsey made the big postcards
on the wall.  Isn't she creative!



I received many beautiful old postcards as gifts.  I was just overwhelmed.
My friend even won a beautiful old postcard album full of cards on ebay!
I was totally blowed away.


I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks some images from the
beautiful cards I received.  I also got an Enid Collins purse, a piece of Hull pottery and
charms for my Pandora bracelet! 


Today, the 24th, is my birthday.  We celebrated last evening. 
If you've read our blog for very long, you know we think birthdays
are special. 
Have a beautiful Saturday!
Twyla

Happy birthday, sweet friend! I hope the fun continues for you today. Your gang did a great job- as usual! Looks like Lindsey even made the writing on the post cards faded! Cute! Nosey me tried to read it! Ha-ha!

I sure hope my box arrives today!
At least now I know it takes more than 5 days to travel. ♥

I love your decorations and your beautiful packages all wrapped up. What a wonderful table to share with us all.

I love the big post card on the wall. That is just darling. I am sure Ms Lindsey had quite a bit to do with all of these decorations. She did a fabulous job.
