How to win a custom designed standing style ANGEL figure!

Fiber Sculpted standing style angels in 6" and 8" size

Original designs by Donna of

DZFANTASY

on Etsy

I have been designing and creating my original designed, one-of-a-kind fiber sculpted fantasy sculptures for over 20 years (angels, fairies, mermaids, leaf spirits and more).  Several years ago, I would create a personal, original designed ANGEL for anyone who shared their  "ANGEL EXPERIENCE/S" with everyone here on my blog.  Several of the stories are still out here on my blog. Since this got to be a bit time consuming and costly, I will now create ONE angel for the person who's story is submitted and voted on by you the readers of the stories.

I believe ANGELS come in many ways to help us...they can be "earth" angels in the form of a friend, family member, one's pet, or a complete stranger.  They can also be "unseen" angels helping us in times of need, you just have to be open and aware. 

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SHARE A STORY OF ANY EXPERIENCE YOU FEEL WHICH SHOWS THERE ARE ANGELS OF ALL TYPES HERE TO HELP US!

The time to submit your story will run from DECEMBER 28 - JANUARY 28, 2017. I will enter the stories out here on my blog, and on JANAURY 29TH,  I  will add a place where people can vote for the story that touched them the most. THE WINNER WILL BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THEIR CHOICE OF COLORS FOR THEIR 6" OR 8" STANDING ANGEL, AND I WILL SHIP IT TO THEM.

To submit your "angel story/experience", send it to my email address: dzfairies@msn.com

Above are several of the angels styles that I now have available in my DZFANTASY shop on Etsy, but the "winner", of the ANGEL STORY contest can either choose from one of the angels already in my shop, or pick their own colors and size, either 6" or 8".  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.  Hope to hear from many of you regarding your  experiences with angels, .

WINNER OF THE "JANUARY EARTH ANGEL" GIVEAWAY

Lavender Angel

by

DZFANTASY

My "January Earth Angel" giveaway ended January 31, 2009.

I'd like to thank all of the wonderful people who took the time to spread a bit of positive energy by telling who was an "earth angel" in their lives. I would have loved to give everyone an angel, but since that wasn't possible, I randomly chose a name from the 27 entries that I received.

The winner of the giveaway was:

Sandi

from Annapolis, MD

Sandi had the option of selecting either an "angel or "fairy" to be created for her in her choice of style, colors, etc.

Sandi, loved the Lavender Angel shown above, so that is the one I'm sending to her, since I still had her available. What makes this so special is that Sandi wrote and told me about a very good friend of hers who has recently had some surgery, and is having a rather rough time of it. Sandi said she is going to give the Lavender Angel to her friend with hopes that it will bring her a bit of hope and light.

Sandi what a lovely thing to do. I'm sure your friend appreciates having an "earth angel" like you!

Be sure to visit DZFANTASY so see what other ideas I will come up with for "special giveaways".

A true angel experience "HEAVENLY VOICES" submitted by DEBRA

Here's the little angel above to let you know that DZFANTASY has another true angel story for you to read. This story was so kindly submitted by Debra, who hopes that by sharing her experience with others, it will help people to realize that we are definitely beng watched over and guided.

HEAVENLY VOICES

submitted by

DEBRA

This holiday season had started off pretty sad for me. My mom passed away from lung cancer July 6th 2007, and I was prescribed an antidepressant to help with my anger because I wasn't coping with losing my mom. She was only 67 young, and we had just lost my grandmother the Thanksgiving before, and losing my grandmother was a terrible loss for me too.

These two women were very important figures in my life and I just wasn't dealing with my loss, and my medications started doing things to me that I just didn't pick up on right away. Because I wasn't paying attention to what was going on with me and I was so focused on dealing with my loss, I almost lost it all.

The morning started out just like every other morning, but this morning I decided to drive my step-daughter to school to let my husband sleep in. I dropped her off at school and was headed back home, now granted I felt tired and run down and I did know that I wasn't getting the sleep I needed, but I thought I was ok to drive. I was driving along just fine when all of a sudden the lights went out ! I don't know what happened , it was like I wasn't really there at all ,but I do remember a feeling of the most truest peace I have ever known in my life. I felt no fear or pain, just peace.. Then I felt a presence in the car with me and I heard a female's voice talking to me in a very calming but firm instruction "Place your hands on the wheel and take hold, but not too tight", Slowly put your foot on the pedal and press slowly, do this now! I remember the car hitting the dirt and then the car spinning around like I was in slow motion. The car stopped completely and I looked around in a daze. Across the street some men were trying to attempt to climb a fence to come to my rescue, they were young firemen training. I still couldn't believe what was going on. I looked around me and still for a moment felt a presence of comfort around me. I was not afraid, and I think I should have been kind of upset but, I WAS IN COMPLETE CONTROL !! My car had completely stopped , I was facing the wrong direction so I turned the key on and started my car and as I proceeded to turn my car around and get back to my home. I rolled down the window and waved my hand to the firemen and yelled " I'm alright " , I'm OK " Thank you, and drove home.

All the way home I kept trying to figure out what had just happened to me because I had never had an accident and consider myself to be a very good and safe driver. I was feeling very alive when I got home and very hopeful because I knew in my heart and my mind that my life was saved because of an angel !! I knew this creature was here to help me, and I truly believe that my mother or my grandmother was the angel, because I felt like I knew this presence. I was so at peace and I wasn't afraid of dying or death, but it wasn't my time and my angel was there to help me and because of this I have taken a more deeper commitment to LIVING !! I don't take it for granted and I have learned to give more of myself than ever before ! I take pleasure in knowing that my mother and grandmother are watching over me and that they know how much I love and miss them.

I believe I found your website because I was meant to tell you my story. People need to know that we live in a wonderful, mystical, and sometimes yes,a sad world, but that each of us has a choice and we can either live it as a dimly lit candle or we can let it shine brightly and share that light with the rest of those lost to sadness and negativity. As for myself, I have had my doctors check my medications and I am on the right track now and I am doing great. Don't get me wrong, I will always miss them, but we will be together again in heaven when my father in his time brings me home. Until then I will live my life like it was intended to be.

Debra, thank you so much for sharing this experience with everyone. I'm happy our paths have crossed, and may your special angels always be watching over you.

Debra's name will be entered into my DZFANTASY ANGELS STORIES drawing for December, where the randomly selected winner will receive a custom designed "special" angel, created by me, in their choice of colors. If you have an experience you'd like to share click on the angel below to find out more about how you can submit your story.

"UNDYING LOVE" - An Angel Story Submitted by Carolyn

Below you will find another "Angel Story" submitted for my DZFANTASY ANGEL STORIES feature. Whenever you see the colorful angel above you will know that the post is about an angel story/experience.

"UNDYING LOVE"

submitted

by

Carolyn

I just wanted to tell you a couple of things that happened when my parents passed away.

Right after my father died, I came into my home and my 2 year old daughter met me at the door. We lived right next to my parents so my children were very close to them. She said to me,” Mommy, Granddaddy” and pointed to the air vent over the kitchen counter, and I said” no, baby, granddaddy isn’t here”. She said” Mommy, don’t you see him, he’s right there?”, again pointing to the vent. Now, I was just coming in from the hospital and she didn’t know yet, nor would she understand that he was gone, but she saw him there for more than a week, she told everyone who visited that he was there. I believe that he was there to watch over us during this hard time.

When my mom passed, she was at home. My niece, who was then 5 years old, was sleeping in my parents bedroom and there was a big closet between the two bedrooms. My mom passed during the night. The next morning when my niece got up, she came in and told us that she had seen granddaddy last night. When my sister said “you did?” my niece said “ Yeah, Mama, he was in the closet and when I asked him what he was doing in there, he said that it was alright, he was just there to get Grandma”.

So I do believe in Angels, they are always around watching over us, staying close just in case we need them.

Thanks for letting me share.

Thank, YOU, Carolyn for taking the time to share both of these experiences with all of us. Carolyn's name will be added into the December drawing for a custom designed "angel".

I know there must be many more of you out there who have had experiences, and hope you will also take the time to share...! All stories/experiences, will also be posted in the right column of my blog under the heading ANGEL STORIES. Clicking on the title, will get you to that particular story.

DZFANTASY'S ANGEL STORIES - "The Healing Angel"

"THE HEALING ANGEL"

Submitted by

MAGGIE

My husband and I had left the house to do some shopping and left our three year old son in my sister's care. My sister, her husband and two little girls had just moved back to California after living in Florida for a few years and stayed with us until they found their own home...anyway, apparently my son had been chasing after the little girls during some house-play and the older girl ran into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her and my son's little finger got pinched off in the bathroom door....just as my husband and I were returning home.

Walking up to the front door, I heard crying, screaming and lots of commotion and there was my son with a small towel wrapped around his little hand and blood everywhere.

My husband and I scooped up our son, got in our car and sped to the Cupertino Emergency Clinic where they led us right in to an examining room. Our doctor was not in that day so we were seen by a tall, blond, soft spoken doctor we'd had never seen before. He administered phenolbarbitol to our son and we could hear him talking softly to our son as he lay on the examination bed. We heard our little guy ask "Am I going to lose my finger?" "Is my finger all gone?", and our hearts just broke. The doctor told him he was not going to lose his finger, but that he needed something in order to fix it. The doctor came out to the hallway where my husband and I were standing, watching him. He asked that one of us go home and find the missing finger tip and bring it back to him so that he might sew it back on. WHAT? Missing finger?! We were panicked. I called home and, as it turned out, the finger piece had been already placed into a small bag of ice and water so my husband drove home to retrieve it and brought it back to the clinic.

The doctor explained to me that he just so happened to have a "finger kit" with him that he could use to stitch the finger tip back on, but he gave no guarantee that it would "take". My son never made a sound the whole time the doctor was sewing his finger tip back on and wrapping up his little finger and hand. Softly speaking to him and rubbing the perspiration off our son's forehead. We knew he was a wonderful doctor and hoped he had joined the clinic permanently.

We made an appointment to bring our son back in 7 days to have his finger checked. When we returned to the Clinic a week later, the clinic staff had no record of our previous visit, they had never heard of the doctor we described to them and advised us that the clinic would never have undergone such an intricate procedure, that they would have referred us to the hospital for the finger procedure, and, they did not have access to phenolbarbitol.

We were unable to ever locate the "doctor" who saved our son's finger. But he looked like a tall, golden Angel. This is a true story. It happened in 1980, when we lived in Santa Clara, CA.

Thanks, Maggie, for taking the time to share your experience with everyone!

ANGEL STORY SUBMISSION

ANGELS AND ANGEL STORIES

DZFANTASY'S ANGEL STORIES FEATURE
(When you see the colorful little angel above, out on my blog, you will know the post is about an ANGEL STORY)

Do you believe in angels....have you had an "angelic experience" you'd like to share? Several years ago I started an ANGEL STORIES page on my YOUNG AT HEART web site, where people who "believed" and had an "angelic" experience could write to me and I would put their story out on my website. It was truly an amazing journey in which I met the most wonderful people, and heard such inspiring stories. In return for people taking the time to share their experiences with everyone, I would create each of them a "special" angel as a gift. After a while, creating a "special" angel for each person who submitted a story became impossible, as I was receiving so many stories, so I picked a winner each month from all the stories that were submitted for any given month.

I would love to be able to bring this type of inspiration out here on my blog, and have decided to do an ANGEL STORIES feature on DZFANTASY .

Anyone who would like to share an experience, may email me, and I will put their story out here on DZFANTASY.

Each month, I will create a FREE "special angel" for the person whose name I will randomly pick from that month's entries. Also, anyone who has left a comment in this post about their thoughts on angels, will also have their name entered into the drawing.

The person will have the chance to select the colors for their "special angel", (hair, skin tone, fabric, etc.). The first drawing will be on December 31, 2008, since I got this idea going a bit late for a November drawing.

The photos below show the type of little angels I will be creating for the winner's of each month's drawing. She is 6.5" tall, has a silk face, which I hand-draw, needle-sculpt, and hand-paint. The accents are Swarovski crystals.

Let get a lot of stories out here for all to read and enjoy!

If anyone is interested in being a part of this new feature of mine, please contact me at: dzfairies@msn.com, and put ANGEL STORY in the subject line.

Please feel free to leave your "comments", about this idea, out here. Anyone who leaves a comment out here, will also go into the drawing for the month that they submitted their comment. Please be sure to leave a means of contacting you...should you be the lucky winner.

On, Nov. 11th, I received the first Angel Story, and it is now out on DZFANTASY...the title is "NEVER ALONE". Be sure to read it, and I hope it may inspire many more people to share their stories!! There is no "catch" to this endeavor....I'm just trying to spread a bit of inspiration for all who visit here, and will enjoy creating "special" angels for the people who take the time to share their stories and experiences!
