And the Angel Said...


MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL. On this Christmas Eve, I have more of my angel collection to share with you. Above is my gorgeous tree-top angel --which I used when we had a HUGE tree. She's too large I think for the tree we have now. SO--she sits on the table guarding over all of the other angels. Below are more, including my favorite collection, the Willow Tree Angel Collection.




This is BABY ANGEL. Don't you just love his expression?




This are my two GLASS ANGELS---sparkling and reflecting the lights all around them.




A friend gave me this sweet angel since she knew that "I" am the ANGEL COLLECTOR.




ANGEL of the GARDEN




ANGEL of PRAYER




ANGEL of SUMMER




ANGEL of REMEMBRANCE




DREAMING ANGEL (my personal fav, since I'm such a 'dreamer')




All five of my Willow Tree Angels; Aren't they just fabulous?

All of the angels and I wish you a very Merry Christmas. Remember that the birth of Jesus is the real REASON for the SEASON. May God Bless EACH ONE of you.

I feel so blessed to know so many of you in more personal ways, besides just being 'blogger friends'. I feel as if I have many new lifelong friends now. Thanks to each of you for being a part of my life. MERRY CHRISTMAS. I'll be back to blogging on Monday (28th).

We Wish You a Merry♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ Christmas♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪We Wish You a Merry ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪Christmas ♥ ♥ ♥We Wish You A Merry ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪Christmas ♪♫•*¨*•.¸¸♥ ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ And a Happy New Year!!! Seasons Greetings to everyone.......

    Love the header, it makes it so much more friendly and personal a greeting. Your little angels are lovely. The baby is cute and makes you want to laugh. The glass ones could go well with my glass ornaments. But Angel of the Summer definitely belongs down here at the moment.

    Oh Betsy, I love all of your angels in both posts. They are all so pretty but the baby one is my favorite, that expression is adorable. I love the new header photo, the two of you look so happy.

    Have a very Merry Christmas,

    PS, Is it going to be a white one over your way?

    Hello Betsy,

    I hope you and George had a Merry Magical Christmas! I love the Willow Tree angels..I have a few of them and always love to send them as gifts.

    Well it's looking like a slim chance for snow on New Year's and the day after..we'll see..I so wanted Thomas to see the winter wonderland in person. :0)

    I'm thinking you are on the road right now??

    What a beautiful collection of Angels. I know you and George had a wonderful Christmas and may you both have the happiest of times in 2010. You asked if our snow had gone. We had a hard rain and a warmer day and I cannot believe how much snow melted. We can actually see our front steps now and the grass is showing again. No more shoveling for a while :)
