Anitra's “APACHE SUNFLOWER”


My grandmother, "Nanny", passed away this week at the age of 90. I was unable to attend the funeral, but many serendipitous things happened. The amaryllis I always gave to Nan every year for Christmas I couldn't send this year since she was in the nursing home - I kept it, but it never bloomed.....until this week. ♥
The day I received the news of her passing, my talented new friend Anitra (from Anitra's Cute Art World) sent me an email with this gorgeous work of art attached. It couldn't have come at a better time - she used the sunflower from the slide show - I think it is stupendous. Thank you Anitra, you are an angel. Here part of the sunny email she sent to me:
"I am part Cherokee. My newest design “Apache Sunflower” is one of my first designs for my new Series Native Americans. I am excited to finally start using my long held and loved images from my dear friend Karen from Luna Girl Images! She has many beautiful images that she has composed into CD’s for sale on E-bay & Etsy. I have also another friend to thank and that is Lori Turner from Luluna Stamps for sharing her sunflower image with me! I feel very happy inside after a feeling as if I would never get the time to do another design my heart is full of joy!" Anitra from http://cuteartworld.blogspot.com/
Her blog is visually amazing - there are links there to her store on Etsy, as well as her eBay listings and more....♥

There are so many angels on earth and well I am surly not one of them, lol although I have to tell you I have a friend and he (Aurthor) is one. I am sure he was with me when I created this piece. My heart was filled with joy that day, now I know why that is. I am so happy that this was a comfort for you and your family.
Lot's of love to you all!
