Did you know I am a Kansas girl? I was born in Wichita at the Wesley Hospital. However, I only lived in Wichita for about 6 weeks as my Dad was in the army and already stationed in Hawaii. The Army said my Mom and brother couldn't go until I was born. So six weeks old I was on the way across the country to board a ship to sail to Hawaii. No super highways, no internet to find a hotel along the way, and it was already winter in the Rocky Mountains that we had to cross somewhere. So my mother, my aunt, my grandmother, my brother, and our dog Sally traveled across the southern route through southern Arizona. And they still ran into a blizzard! That delayed travel a couple of days. No disposable diapers either. So those were washed out by hand in the motel bathroom. They were hung to dry on a rigged up clothesline over the tub. No motel laundromats in those days! Of course the diapers were not dry by morning. So some were hung to dry between the front and back seats, and some were hung to dry on the radio antennae! I imagine that was quite the sight!
This beautiful Framed Sunflower is so pretty! And it was so easy to paint. It is layered on brown card stock run through a wood embossing folder. I sponged some brown ink over the embossed areas to bring out the detail.
