I have always loved angels.  They are good to talk with.  And here is a verse of one of my most favorite Christmas songs.  Visualize - it is so joyous.

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o're the plains
And the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains
and then that wonderous refrain
Glo oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ria   in excelsis Deo

I was lucky once. . . I got to teach the choir at Casterlin Elementary School.  
Each year . . A Christmas Program 
And I will never ever forget that glorious band of little angels, mouths open wide as their wings,
belting out that Gloria refrain.
Just to remember it,  is exalting.
Angels
                  do you hear?

  1. My sister loved angels, and now that she is in heaven, each time I see angels I think of her. Remembering her happiness at angel ornaments and pictures and crafts makes me smile, sometimes through tears but still smiling.

  2. I love the new design as well as "Believe". Believe is one of my favorite words. The day my father passed my youngest daughter, age 2 at the time, saw angels in the room. She was too young to make up such a story, so I know she saw them. Very comforting to know the were angels there.
    I enjoy working with wool it is like stitching on butter. I would love to win your generous giveaway!

  9. I love angels and know that they attend us. Mine work overtime!!! I have little angels tucked all around the house, not so that you would be overwhelmed with them, they are just a reminder that we are loved. Angels are also a gentle reminder that all around us are people who need an angel in their life, and it is a joy when prompted, to know what my hands can do to lift others. Kind of like passing it on. Come to think of it, like you passing on your talent - thanks for the opportunity to enjoy your angel in my home.

  15. I love angels, they were looking out for us last night as we were hunting for a OSU jacket for a GS that lives in MS. His that was bought last year was misplaced in packing up the winter clothes last year. He was devasted, it's his dream to move to OR and become a Beaver. So, as a surprise we are replacing his jacket. (The Beaver Fan Shop did not have any) We found one at Fred Myer's. I love all your pattern's and but a few each year I see you at Portland Expo

  27. When I go travelling I love to find angel ornaments for my tree and home. I have them from the Far East, Europe, Canada and the U.S. As a nurse we are often called Angels of Mercy, your ornament would make a lovely addition to my collection. And of course I still believe in Santa, don't we all in our hearts?

    Thanks for the chance to win this lovely prize.

  34. WHO KNOWS HOW MANY ANGELS WE HAVE HAD WATCHING OVER EACH OF OUR LIVES....IF WE KNEW, I THINK WE WOULD BE AMAZED. MAKING ANGEL ORNAMENTS MAKES ME REFLECT ON THE PLACE THEY HOLD IN OUR LIVES.

  35. Angels unaware, how many times has just the right help shown up just in the nick if time? How many of us have given our guardian angels a difficult time? Angels also proclaimed the birth of God's son. May angels always watch over us and may we be forever grateful.

  37. I love the movie "It's a wonderful Life" and the saying that when a bell rings an angel gets their wings. We were decorating our tree the other day, and i happened to pull out a bell ornament and then gave it a little jingle. Without skipping a beat, my son shouted out "everytime a bell rings an angel gets her wings". Now how did he know i was thinking that!?!? Love your website, and would be honored to win your angel ornament.
