Twyla on Tuesday

Hello dear ones!

It's been so long since I've chatted with you on Tuesday!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and your new year is starting

off with renewed strength.

The reason we are sharing this adorable vintage birthday card today

is because we love celebrating birthdays and feel everyone should be

recognized on their birthday!

We would love it if all of you who have a January birthday would please leave

a comment sharing what day your birthday is and we will post it in our sidebar.

Each month on the first day of the month, we will share a vintage birthday

card and celebrate everyone's birthday.

This beautiful German vase was a Christmas gift from my son.  It is so great

when everyone knows you like old stuff better than new!  He also gave me the

beautiful little Hull vase below that is one of my favorite patterns.

This precious little cup was a gift from a dear friend.  Isn't it lovely?

The two planters below were gifts from another sweet friend.  She knows

my love of baby planters and these are both so cute and unusual. 

How cute are they?!

There are many bloggers who are picking their word for the year.  I

think this is a great idea and I  

have given this some thought.

I decided my word for the year is Faith.

Faith is a current that runs through my being.  Lindsey would

call it being 'overly optimistic'.  I just have a

constant belief that things are going to work out.  Besides, I

know there is a God who wants what's best for me and wants me to

be happy.  If things don't go as I'd hoped,

I have the faith that what I wanted wasn't right for me and

things will be better for me this way.

It goes beyond that, though.  You must

have faith in yourself and believe that you can do all that you

dream.  Hang on to those dreams and don't doubt yourself.

You are an awesome creative person and you have the power

within you to make your dreams come true.

Thank you for visiting with me today.

Don't forget to speak up if your birthday is in January!

Love, Twyla
