So the low economy has claimed yet another small business. For those of you familiar with The Angel Company, for which I am/was a demonstrator, you may have already heard. The Angel Company officially closed their doors today. I had joined the TAC team in December 2005, so for the past almost-6 years I had a wonderful and kind extended family of-sorts. I know I wasn't one of their top sellers, but they welcomed me not only as a hobbyist, but as a fellow papercrafter and artist.
Thanks for so many memories, most of which were made during Angel gatherings & Seminars. I have found several life-long friends because of TAC... and though we are no longer Angels, those friendships will live on :)
I wish Mischelle & her family all good things on their future path, and to quote the image art of TAC's final cover:
"A truly happy person is the one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour."
May everyone's detour lead to great things!

It is a sad day - without them I would've never known you! I look forward to coming back here and seeing all your great work. You are so talented!! (and probably over worked!)
As a hobbyist too, I'm sad. Not because I could buy or sell quality stamps, but sad because of the family-like connection I have made to so many fellow Angels. I feel like it's moving day and I'm a little girl again...The days I dreaded when I had to say goodbye to some of my best friends. It's a sad, sad day.

You will always been an Angel to me Barb even if your halo is a little left of center :)
So sad, best wishes for future endeavors to all involved. :(
What a beautifully written tribute to a wonderful journey we all took! Love that you quoted the cover - You're so sealin' clever!! So glad we'll be crossing paths for many years to come (even if you try to detour, I'll find you - LOL!). :) Cheers to the laughs and the fun and the fabulosity!!
Barb, I am so sorry to hear the sad news for you and your fellow demos. Best wishes to you and keep on craftin'
Barb, although I hung up my wings a couple of years ago, I felt exactly as you did about TAC. The family feel was what drew me to the company in the first place and I am so sorry to hear they had to close down. Hugs to you and all the other angels :(
Enjoy the scenery Barb! I'll be watching your detour...blog on sista.
well said - and I know you'll be seeing me (mwahhhhhh - said in my best halloweenie laugh, lol)
So sad to hear about this.
It is sad.... I hope we can stay friends no matter what the road ahead leads to. YOu will always be an inspiration to me!
