PERSONALIZED DIVISION ORNAMENTS! $10 including shipping!
I’ve been searching for a Navy ornament that I could get personalized with my SRs division number on it. Turns out they are non-existent! I really wanted an ornament since my SR would be away at Christmas! :/ I thought ornaments would be a good idea because our SRs will be in bootcamp over the holiday, or just have gotten out!
I decided to take matters into my own hands and create two ornaments. I hand painted both ornaments. One has a navy anchor with USN, and the other has the navy emblem. Both have the division number, a cute wooden anchor charm, and the year.
They’re only $10.00 including shipping anywhere in the U.S.!
I can write whatever you would like on the ornament, including the SRs name.
I will handle payment through PayPal primarily but will also accept checks :)
**If your SRs division changes for some reason, I will mail the edited ornament to you for free once I receive it back**
If you would like one, please message me by clicking my name above and sending a message!!!
Gramling, not Gramley. OOOPS!
AMEN, ArNavyMom: Working at home today, but just finished watching Joel Osteen and have Troy Gramley on now...loving the message! Accept ourselves exactly as the Lord made us...because we are His masterpieces! And we are marvelous because of that....So....guess I can't complain about my curly hair anymore.... :-) God is so GOOD!
Good morning. I could hear my phone jirping like crazy - got up to see what all the comotion was on the site. 8-)
Lala, praying without ceasing for the missing Boy Scout troop and for your son and the Rescue Squad.
@ Presley's - hang in there! Letters on Wednesday/Thursday. And possibly a call beforehand. Keep writing your recruit as that is the BEST part of their day. Not to mention therapurtic for us!
@ ALL - TODAY is the perfect day...jump up...stretch and get yourself together, come into the house of the Lord and bring your best to the only one deserving of your affection and attention! Even if it is a broken Hallelujah....He knows where you are, sometimes it takes a sacrifice of praise, but really, there isn't anyone else you can truly depend on!!! Find a church this morning and enjoy what the Lord has in store for you!
I still tear up too, Lala....I started to watch this one last night after I posted it and stopped halfway through!
Good morning, all!
Oh Lala- Pryaing now for them and you. I am sure he will be safe and sound. Keep strong. Sending hugs your way.
Please keep our Rescue Squad and some missing Boy Scouts in your prayers. The boys have been missing in the mountains near the Parkway between Brevard and Asheville NC. One of the rescue workers has fallen and believed to have broken his back. My son is on the rescue squad and has been gone on this rescue mission since yesterday evening. He did send me a message to let me know he is okay because he knew I would hear on the news that someone was hurt. I am glad he did let me know because I would be freaking out. Thanks so much for your prayers.
The video's of PIR always make me tear up, even 17 months after PIR lol. I watch my daughter PIR video every couple of months and the tears flow every time. It is definitely an experience I will never forget.
