"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets their wings"
A school teacher approached me yesterday at our Market City location looking for help with an angel ornament idea to send to the families of the Sandy Hook tragedy. This is the idea we came up with. I was so touched by the heart felt sentiment of this lovely women, that I promptly made one. This is what crafting is about....an inspired idea..created with love and compassion..shared with others from the heart to bring comfort and joy. This ornament is to remember and give love to the little angels of Sandy Hook Elementary... we will never forget you!
