AUNTS IN MY TRIBE

 💜 There are a multitude of labels yet to apply to hundreds of my handmade HEARTLAND TRIBE MERCH.  It’s a labor of love to see this dream be born.  

💜 My art prints are photographs I have taken.  They are suitable for framing and giving as keepsake greeting cards.  They are printed on linen and pearl paper.  Some have a place on the back for notes.

This is a photograph I took of a flag flying at our home in Blue Springs, and red geraniums in a hanging pot.  Granny Lucille always had pots of red geraniums at each house she owned in Liberty, Missouri.

  I designed the art print cards with a NOTE section because for years my Granny Lucille, Nanny (Aunt Ann), Aunt Helen, Aunt Beulah, Aunt Boob, Aunt Reba, Aunt Jacoba, and Aunt Verpal and Sis-in-law, Shirley, wrote messages all over the cards they lovingly sent me and so many others. 

💜 Aunt Boob, a single gal all her life, had a personal ministry of sending birthday and get well cards with handwritten messages to everyone she knew. 

💜 No one ever told us exactly how Aunt Boob got the name.   Everybody wants to know that story - even me!  She was a godly woman  who lived with her parents their entire life.  She was engaged once but never married.  She radiated light.  And she barely had any boobs - so I really wonder about her story!!

The NOTE section is in honor of those creative women who put in their own handwriting - their love and affection on greeting cards.  I gave you a place to do the same rather than write in the margins like the aunts in my tribe did. 

“AUNTS IN MY TRIBE” reminds me

of my favorite commercial,

This is a photograph I took of a creative display at a Christmas craft fair at a church in Blue Springs, Missouri.
