Hey, y'all!

I'm Aimee, the owner and artist behind Humbly Made Tumblers.

I'm married to my amazing and supportive wife, Amelia. We have two teenage kids; a son and daughter.

I love all things Harry Potter (proud Hufflepuff!), coffee, sarcasm, and cuss words. But, nothing harmful or hurtful.

I'm a HUGE advocate for mental health and ending the stigma surrounding it.

I'm a medical coder by day and a tumbler maker by night. Although, my dream is to be a tumbler maker full-time.

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

My Story

Humbly Made Tumblers began several years ago, as a hobby. In fact, Humbly Made Tumblers didn't even start out as a tumbler making venture. I started this journey as Reads' Monograms-n-more.

In 2018, I got a Cricut so that I could make some home décor items for our house. And, I thought it would be a good way to channel some anxiety and depression I was dealing with after the sudden death of my brother to suicide. It was and still is a big part of what I do here. Mental health and Suicide Prevention Awareness are causes near and dear to my heart.

I started off with simple, easy vinyl crafts. Things that were fun, but easy to make. I made some gifts for people. And I made a few items for people if they asked. Nothing spectacular by any means. Eventually that led to making shirts and other things with HTV and my iron.

In 2019, we lost my niece to suicide as well. It was devastating. I continued to make and create, but didn't feel as fulfilled anymore. Then, I discovered tumblers. And that soon took over. I found my spark again. I was channeling all that sadness into creating and learning. I was still making apparel, too. I upped my game and got a heat press and ventured into sublimation and screen prints. I did that all through 2020.

In 2021, though, my life changed drastically. I got a divorce. I moved into an apartment with my kiddos. And, I came out as a lesbian. Moving into the apartment meant I had to downsize. I chose to give up shirts and focus solely on tumblers. In July of 2021, I lost my job. Tumblers were one of the ways I was able to support us while I looked for something new. I am so glad I made that decision. I've learned so much and continue to daily! I've really been able to work on my craft. I am proud of the growth this little business has seen. And, I look forward to where it's headed.
