We all have them! And mine fell on the weekend! So I am having a special weekend that is extending into Monday!
It’s my birthday!
I’ve talked to several of my blog buddies that have January birthdays! We should form a club!
My sweet cousin sent me this old photo recently. It was taken at her house when we were playing dress up. How do you like our hats? We had on high heels too.
And the nice lady, Tricia at Castles n Crowns made my banner a few years ago. I LOVE it!
I’m writing this ahead of time and hoping all my dreams come true. I’m hoping my weekend will include a hike and some football. Oh, and some special meals that hubby has planned. I had hoped to have some sugar free cheesecake from our favorite bakery but they don’t make it any more. What will I do? I may have to get creative! I don’t miss sugar very often but it does seem a shame not to have dessert on your special day!
How many years ago was this taken? I’ll never tell! hahaha!
Happy Birthday to all my January blog sisters.
(and all my blog buddies born in the ‘50s!)
Join me in the celebration this weekend! How long can I keep this going?
I’m joining Mosaic Monday HERE .

My cousin is a Jan 1 baby and my brother got married on Jan 1 many years ago. i love the dress up photo and that was a favorite pastime for me. i remember mothers heels from 1942 and her purse that was black and white. i loved both. I gave up sugar last Jan 26, this Friday will be one year. i skipped cake on my Sept birthday and did not miss it at all. I did not know you don't eat sugar either. i also gave up white flour, but i do eat a burger bun twice a month.
Happy birthday! And I won't even ask which one!
HAPPY birthday! Enjoy your day.
Happy Birthday to you!!
Such a wonderful collage of your childhood photos! Hope that your birthday was extra special. I love your blog header. It's a beautiful collage that's perfect for a book lover like you.
Happy Birthday Sis! A January birthday!! I love the photos of you dressing up, one of my favorite ways to play as a child also. Such fun we had. I hope your weekend was all you wished for and more. Love you!
Happy Birthday you adorable little blonde. I loved the pictures. Dress up was the best fun when my sisters and I were kids. Playing school and store. LOL I hope you get your birthday wishes and some sugar free goodies. Blessings to you, xoxo,love, Susie
Happy Birthday!!! Your pictures are so precious...you were/are a cutie pie! The picture I have on my sidebar has me holding a baseball too....that must have been 'the thing' back then for photographers. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and since it's your birthday I'd go for the regular cheesecake unless you're diabetic? I always make an exception on holidays. Have fun!
Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh Happy Days!!

Happy birthday! My youngest brother's birthday is January 3. That was the day I was due, but I came early on December 29. So I'm an almost January baby. Hope you got your dessert for your birthday. Love all the pictures. Have a wonderful week-long celebration/1

Love the black and white photo collage, the photo bottom left is my favourite, such attitude.
Girls born in 1950 rock!
Happy Mosaic Monday, birthday girl.
Happy Happy Birthday! I love your photos! Oh, what a cutie in that striped skirt and your baby photo. All of them. I think I'm a little late to the party but I'm all for celebrating as long as anyone is up for it! So keep it going! And happy new year!
Happy Birthday Sweet Friend!
I truly enjoyed your photos.

Happy Birthday, fellow Capricorn! I adore all your wonderful photos from your childhood in the 50s. I was bown in 48, so definitely a child of the 50s. I had to look twice at a few of those photos. I could have been one of those little girlsl In fact, one looks much like me at that age. It's interesting how things look the same in these photos.
Very very cute. Happy Birthday
Much💝love
What sweet sweet photos. My better half is a Jan. 3rd baby. YAY!
Happy special day to you

I'm a child of the 50's too and love these photos of you and your cousin! Wishing you a fabulous birthday filled with lots of sweet blessings including some kind of sugar free treat!
Hoping your birthday was awesome. Yes, many of us have birthdays in January. 'Love those older photos of you. 'Hope you got some sugar free cheesecake.
Happy Birthday!! I love your birthstone but an emerald for May for me is nice too!!
Happy Birthday sweet Diane. My newest granddaughter will have to join your Jan. BIrthday Club. SHe was born this Sun. Jan. 21st in NC...Alice Elizabeth weighed in at 5lbs.10 oz.....she was a wee bit early. Loved seeing the old pictures....
I am working on catching up on posts I missed while we were away. Hope your birthday weekend was wonderful!! Wishing you a year ahead full of so many blessings!
Happy Birthday!! Oh my those pictures are adorable! Do any little girls play dress up anymore?? I too used to play with my cousin. Our grandma had a big box full of dresses from the 30's and 40's and we'd play dress up everytime we went over there. Man I'd sure love to have those dresses NOW! Hope you have a wonderful birthday week!
Loved this post.
Great to see your photographs.
Happy Birthday Wishes.
All the best Jan
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIANE! And what a little cutie you were when you were little. I love this picture of you and your cousin playing dress up. All these photos are treasures, and the old black and whites are my favorites. Your Header is delightful, very creative and unique. I hope your day was filled with all the things you love.

Diane - trying to stretch your birthday weekend to it's limits - it's only 8 pm out here in Montana!!! Happy Birthday, my friend! Those black and white pictures brought back so many memories - yes, I think all the photographers had the same set-ups and props back then! Thanks for pointing out your banner - I just caught on that you are IN the book! So cool!
Happy Birthday from another born-in-the-50s gal. Such sweet old photos! Make your birthday last as long as possible, I say! I did read that you got in 2 hikes, so that's great!
happy birthday!! i love when it falls on a weekend so you can celebrate for 3 days!!
Happy Birthday Diane! Yes I am a 50's gal too, born in '59! You are so cute in your photos! I am all for making the celebration last as long as you can!! Hope all is well! xx

Hope your weekend was special. We have to celebrate each day. My wish for you Diane is health and much happiness. Hugs back to you.
Happy birthday Diane! xo
Happy Birthday - such adorable photos! Love the one of you pulling up your party dress :) I'm not a Jan. birthday, but I do share a 50's birthday! Hope you find something sweet to celebrate with! Hugs xo Karen
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET FRIEND!! I hope all your birthday wishes came true and that you found something delicious and sweet to eat! I just love all the childhood pictures. Gosh, they look so much like my own. It really was a different world, wasn't it? Such a different time. I so wish our grandchildren could grow up in a world like what we had. "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end". Do you remember that old song? Sweet pictures....I see bikes, a tricycle, playing dollies and playing dress-up, maybe a hula hoop? I used to love to hula hoop. One thing for sure---you and I are STILL PLAYING with dolls, right? ha ha LOL
Oh Happy Belated Birthday Diane. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and many more.
I really enjoyed looking at the photos of you when you were little. It's hard not eating anything with sugar but I hope you had something sweet just like you!!!
Enjoy the week.
Julie
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, may all of your dreams come true and may you have good health and lots of joy this year. I celebrated my birthday last month and I enjoyed my day too. Hugs
Happy birthday! LOL these photos remind me a some I have with my sister and I playing dress ups. Wishing you a fabulous birthday week.
Happy Birthday my dear - a little late - but I did think about you last week. I've been dealing with a dear friend who has quite suddenly (in only a few month's time)lost her husband - such a sad time.
But I hope you got all your birthday wishes - you cute little thing - you've not change much - still cute and charming as always. Happy sweet birthday.
