This little monkey was traded for medicine, and we instantly fell in love with each other. He rode around on my shoulder almost every moment that I was outside. My mom wouldn’t let me bring him into the house, but he did have a nice little home of his own on our back porch.
About Me
Hello. My name is Shirley Gibson. This picture was taken by my dad, Bill Gibson, when I was 5 years old.
Yes, Bill and Gladis are my parents.
The original inspiration for the cards that are the basis for this site came when I was brainstorming what I could do for my parents for Christmas. They had no idea that I was creating cards from our treasured collection of photos. What a surprise! I think it was the best Christmas present ever.
This little website was created because I wanted to share these awesome images with the world. Creating these cards and this website has had a profound effect on me. Love shines through them. Everything about these cards radiates love: My dad’s love for my mom is evident in the missionary nurse images, and her compassionate heart is clearly seen.
When I was five years old, I went away to boarding school. I would like to say that it was a warm and wonderful experience, but it was not. The making of these cards has healed old wounds, and given me a new perspective on the past.
I currently live in Missouri. This website is just one of my passions. I am also an artist. If you are interested, you can take a look at my online galleries here at shirleytwofeathers.com, or you can take a peek at some of my online shops. There’s a list of them in the sidebar. I also work with my daughter at her grooming shop and try to keep up with my grandchildren.
