Sweet Vintage Angels
Angels are all around us if we quiet our minds, be peaceful, be serene and tranquil ... we don't even have to look and search for them ... they are just there. We do not always see them but we can feel their presence.
I know you will love these sweet angel images every bit as much as I do. They are so beautiful in a collage on the lid of a dainty little box, with the box bottom painted in a soft pastel color. Enhance the lid with small pastel buttons, "jewels" or tiny beads, bits of old lace or a lovely little bow hot glued in place. Place paper shreds or tissue paper in the box before placing your treasure inside. It makes a wonderful gift.
I recently made such a little box for my grand daughter with only an old black and white photo of her parents that I had put into a small collage on a card. It was such a personal little gift for her and she loves and cherishes it. I am sure she will keep it forever and am so glad I could give her a gift she will cherish.. Don't forget to add your name and the date on the bottom of the box or, as I did, on the back of the picture inside. You could even write it on the box bottom inside. Anyway, I hope you will have fun with your angels.
Just remember to be sweet!!!

Mesmerizing Angel Images
I don't believe I know or have ever known anyone who is not mesmerized by angels. The sweet little cherubs bring us a sense of well being and calmness. Countless images of angels have graced walls, lurked in the minds of many and brought happiness to all who had the pleasure to look upon them.
These are three such images. They are yours, free to use as you please. I hope you like them. They are gorgeous when sepia toned, placed on an old fashioned paper along with an inspirational quote. I have often placed a page from an old songbook on the page as well. They are then matted with black, put into a pretty frame and become a beloved gift to place in a prominent place on a loved one's wall or display in a holder on a night stand or favorite table. There are many, many ways the lovely little angels can be incorporated into a gift or craft.
Enjoy your angels and ... be sweet!!
