The Sweetest Angel

"The golden moments
in the stream of life
rush past us and we see
nothing but sand; the
angels come to visit us,
and we only know them
when they are gone."

 ~ George Elliot ~



What was written on the
back of the original card
tugged at my heartstrings:

"To Helen from Grandma"

My Grandma Leasure's
name was Helen. She
was an angel to me.

  4. I finally have some time to make some of your lovely tags because it is spring break, but with rain/snow and cold weather I'm inside cleaning and getting ready to 'play'. Thank you for being so generous and sharing your wonderful talent with people like me who know pretty when they see it, but don't have a clue how to go about making anything on the computer! Grandmas in heaven must have so much in common! I look forward to seeing mine again, too.♥♫

  7. What a find on the card. Thank you for sharing about your grandmother Megan. I too am looking forward to seeing my grandma Anna (Libra) Thurmer. I still remember waking up on the farm with her 10 ton patchwork blanket on me, I was toasty and warm. The first thing I smelled was her bacon and eggs frying over her corncob/wood stove. Hope to wake up in heaven on my first day under her homemade blanket and smelling her wonderful breakfast with grandma smiling at me with her oh so gentle smile.
