MY MOTHERS CRAB SHELL ANGELS

I AM LINKING THIS POST TO KATHLEENS' FADED CHARM COTTAGE AT http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/ FOR WHITE WEDNESDAY.

 TODAY I AM SHARING MY MOMS CRABSHELL ANGELS. SHE HAS MADE ABOUT 40 THIS YEAR. SHE MADE QUITE A FEW LAST YEAR AND THEY WERE SUCH A BIG HIT THAT SHE MADE MORE TO SHARE WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I DO A CRAFT FAIR THE FIRST WEEK IN DECEMBER AND SHE GAVE ME SOME TO SELL AND THEY WENT INSTANTLY. SHE PUTS A LOT OF TIME INTO THESE AND WE ALL TREASURE THEM.  I AM FREQUENTLY ASKED WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR IDEAS FOR THINGS. I AM SURE FROM MY MOM WHO IS VERY CRAFTY AND MY GRANDMOTHER WHO DECORATED REAL EGG SHELLS WHICH I WILL SHARE WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE.

  11. How clever of her. They are very nice! I used to do craft shows, but haven't done that in years. One year I sold 60 angel magnets that I had made to a school teacher for her peers. That was fun!!

  14. Aawwww, how cute are these??? What a great idea!
    How come I never come up with cute ideas like this??!!
    I am having trouble with the new blogger thing too. Cannot keep my pics in the middle, and can't get the type to go between the pics anymore. Frustrating.

  22. Wow how creative! Love angels.. My gardener once asked me if I was very religious.. I thought this was a funny question.. he said "you have so many angel statues in your yard"..
