tribe
noun \ˈtrīb\
-
1.
a social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader.
Finding our tribe means linking with like-minded folks sharing their best ideas, good books, edgy, exciting, anointed music, real women beauty campaigns and like-causes. Here is where I'll be listing mine.

made by megan -- t-shirt Blankets
Meet my friend Megan Tatum Miller. Megan got the idea to make her first t-shirt blanket the summer she turned 20. Megan wanted to find a way to turn her old clothes into something other than a pile in the back of her closet.
When she made her own blanket, Megan discovered there was so much leftover t-shirt material that most people probably throw away. She turned the extra material into a "one for one" passion project and made a blanket for the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU. For every blanket that is ordered through this small business, at least one blanket is donated to the hospital.

The Powhatan Card Lady -- handmade greeting cards
Several years ago I invited my baby sister, Susan Pfeiffer, to attend a Stampin' Up Party and lo and behold she found her niche! Over the years she has become skilled in handmade card creations of all sorts! She keeps her prices reasonable (although I am forever encouraging her to increase the price -- knowing the time she takes with each one)
Compared to Hallmark, she's hands down better. And for around the same price. Incredible deal. Shop for all occasions. Find her on Facebook at Powhatan Card Lady. Message her for Christmas cards.
Check out her sale site here: powhatancardlady
