Kelli is hosting Show & Tell today! Head over to her site to see more!! Thanks for hosting this again today, Kelli!!! Today, I'd like to share some of my angels.
This first one was given to me by a good friend of my mom's. She gave it to me for my HS graduation and I took her to college with me! She still rests on my dresser! She's aged and lost some of the dried flowers, but she's still praying! She reminds me a lot of Susan's angel that she shared here.
I just love these Will*w Tre* angels. The taller one was a gift from my sister. It is the Sprit of Christmas, she gave me this in December 2004, when Elle was born. And the little one, mi casa, I purchased for myself when we were building our house. I marked 2005 on the house!
This last one is a 'thank you' angel. She is the reason I wanted to show my angels today. I just received her this week - in the mail. Well, lol, actually, I had to go pick her up at the U*P*S store. Why, you ask? She was mailed to me by Aisha (Just Mom) as a thank you for an Extreme Makeover: Blog Edition type thing! And she was mailed to the store because that was the return address on the package I mailed her when she won one of my birthday contests! Apparently, they didn't like mine!?!?!?
I must admit that I was a little confused as to why I had to go to the store to pick up a package - I wondered if the drivers were on strike! I didn't realize that my address didn't show up on the package - and fortunately, Galen, the nice man working at the store, took the time to look me up in the system and give me a call! What a treat when I arrived!
UPDATE TO ADD: I wanted to add that the evening I received my angel, I called Aisha to thank her for it. It was a treat to talk to her as well - and she doesn't have much of an accent! :) Thank you again Aisha!!
Along with my show and tell about my angels, I'd love for you to come back on Monday as I'm planning to share a story about my angel...who saved my life.
Blessings for a great weekend,

Oh Leigh Ann can you see my tears?
How WONDERFUL of Aisha and the UPS guy. Blessings all around there I'd say.
Now I can't wait to meet your "real" angel :o)
And to meet one of my angels......YOU!!!! I truly believe somehow, someway, someplace God is going to grant me that desire of my heart.
((hugs))

What??? No mention of the fact that I don't have an accent???? ;-D
Thanks for calling me the other night. I had a blast talking to you, and probably could have kept talking to you forver. Wait a minute ... is that why you said you had to hang up .....?
oops. forgot the first "e" in "forever." Hmm...maybe I do have an accent.
I don't have much of an accent?? You mean I do have some kind of an accent?! Who knew.
I CAN'T believe you guys left me out and didn't do a 3 way call! And I thought we were all friends! I guess we see who counts in this friendship! JK!!!!
Love you both!
Love the angel, it's so cute. I have a couple of them and cherish them so. They were gifts as well.
Bless that little Aisha's heart for being such a precious pal and being so stinkin' thoughtful.

The Willow Tree Angels are a favorite of mine too!
Your angels are so pretty...and how nice that your blogging friend sent you one as a thank you!
Can't wait to hear the story of the angel who saved your life! How sweet of Aisha, too! I have one of those angels given to me by my Stephen Minister before I moved from Indiana to PA. She is holding a sweet little puppy, and I feel a little warm spot in my heart everytime I look at it.
