Farewell to The Angel Company

Hello Friend. Today's post will be a trip down memory lane. I'm using old card creations and photos to help me say what I want to say. It's a long post, but I'm hoping you think it's a fun way to say Farewell to The Angel Company. (Feel free to laugh at the old cards. LOL) It's also an Angel Blog Hop, so be sure to check out all the other blogs too! (forgive the funky spacing--I couldn't get it to work right.grrrr)

First comes a Thank You to Lori B for introducing me to The Angel Company and then becoming my upline.

When I found out that TAC was closing its doors, I went through several stages of grief, including my own personal little "Hissy Fit."

After the hissy fit, I thought about all the fun times I've had with The Angel Company.

I started to remember all of the friends I have made in the last 7.5 years I've been an Angel. It was fun to think about all of the Angel Gatherings I have been to. It was at this one in 2006 that Awna S asked me to be a part of a monthly swap. Those swap ladies amazed me with their creativity. Leslie L was my first downline to ever go to a gathering with me. :-)

This picture if from my very first Seminar in Kansas City in 2006. My Angel "sisters" Amy K and Karla M had not been to Seminar before either, and we had so much fun! This pic is from opening night, and that's Mischelle Smith to my left. She has always been so "available" to Angels, and that's one thing I always appreciated.

Because Angels wanted a place online to gather every day, A Shade of Blue became our online message board. It was there that many of us became better friends, then met each other for the first time at Seminar 2006. (notice our plan to wear shirts in shades of blue?)

Every year at Seminar, I enjoyed getting together with the teams I was on--such creative women! This pic is Mama Mary's team in 2007. She was always so generous with us! She put me to shame by ALWAYS sending me a hand-stamped birthday card every year!

From the very first time we met, Diana S and I hit it off. We started a tradition of getting our picture taken as "the Dianes" at every gathering where we were together. Here we are flying high (yeah, right) at Seminar 2007.

Oh, and I can't forget to add that Becky C always managed to pop up in our Dianes photo because she wanted to be one of us! Love ya, Becky! (this pic is from Seminar 2008)

In this Seminar 2009 photo, we had welcomed a new "Diane" to our group--Diana M. She's such a sweetheart! (We've got pix from Seminar 2008, but I had to limit this somewhere!)

Remember I said I enjoy my "sister Angels" on my teams? This is Lori B's team at Seminar 2009. I haven't included pix of my own Smilin Stampers over the years because those gals are also part of the other teams I'm on (Lori's and Mary's).

So, bouquets of flowers to Mischelle and all of you other wonderfully creative women!

Thanks for a fun ride these last 7.5 years! (This stamp set "Frazzled" was my very first TAC purchase as Lori's customer.)

To Mischelle and all you other Angels, blessings as you decide what to do next.

(oops this card isn't posting and no time to fix it--trust me it was an oldie but goodie)

(keep scrolling--there's more...)

Remember Prov. 3: 5-6 as you take the next steps.

Even though this is good-bye to The Angel Company, I know it's not good-bye to my Angel friends. Now be sure to hop the other blogs.
