I received my second one from Val the following Christmas-- an ornament-- the angel of beauty. And for almost every birthday & Christmas since, I have gotten an angel from her as a gift.
I love my collection of angels. I think that they are beautiful and wonderfully crafted. But what I think I love most about them, is that when I look at them, I think of Val and the treasure that our friendship is to me.
I made the mini-album with 5”x6” chipboard, Daisy D’s patterned paper and a We Are Memory Keepers decorative eyelet. I cut a brown hair elastic and attached it to the back with a We Are Memory Keepers snap, so that it loops around to the front to keep the album closed. I used Jessica Sprague’s Echoes of Asia digital kit to add frames to my photos, and I added text as well in my Microsoft Picture it Publishing.

love it!
That mini album is beautiful. You did a great job photographing them as well. Love the setup of the names. Great project.
Beautiful book! We got our first Willow Tree angels this year. My friend gave me the mother one for my birthday and Jonathan's sister gave him the father one after we had Helayna. I absolutely LOVE them - they are so gorgeous! I didn't know you collected them! That's so cool!
I have some of these too, Leigh! My favorite is the one Naomi gave me after Meadow was born - "Grandmother". I love the book and your photo editting - so beautiful! What a treasure for your children to have someday.
