Hi!! I'm Shelby, I'm 15, I live in Tennessee, and I make angels. Not the flying kind (lol) but little angel graphics for web pages. I've been drawing angels on everything since I was about eight: my notebooks, my sneakers, the cover of my math book (sorry Mr. Math Book), my little brother's cast when he broke his arm. Last Christmas my uncle gave me his old copy of Paint Shop Pro when he got the new one, and now I draw them pixel by pixel instead. It takes FOREVER. The little angel bullet took me a whole Saturday because her halo kept coming out looking like a hamburger bun.

Everything here is FREE for your home page! All I ask is that you link back to me. ♥ (That's the main rule. OK, there are a couple more, they're down below.)

~*~ What's Here ~*~

	Angel Set #1: Clouds & Halos A background, a divider bar, a bullet, three buttons and a link-me button that twinkles. This whole page is made out of it so you can see how it looks all together!
	Set #2: Christmas Angels (coming in November!) Red and gold with holly. I have the background done but the bullet is fighting me.
	Fairy Set (someday) My friend Amanda asks me about this every single day at lunch. Someday, Amanda.

~*~ The Rules (please read!!) ~*~

1. Link back to Cloud Nine. Put my button or a text link somewhere on your page. It doesn't have to be at the top. A links page is fine.
   
   
2. SAVE the graphics to your own computer and upload them to your own space. Please please don't link straight to the pictures on my page (that's called "direct linking" or "hot linking"). It makes your page load from my space instead of yours and it eats up my bandwidth, and it isn't fair. The only exception is my link-me button, see below.
   
   
3. Don't say you made them. I know they're cute. I worked really hard on them. ♥
   
   
4. Don't put them in your own graphics collection or in a zip of "free stuff" for somebody else to download.
   
   
5. No using my angels on pages with swearing or mean stuff or anything you wouldn't show your grandma. They're ANGELS, you guys.
   
   
6. You can change the colors to match your page, just e-mail me first. I almost always say yes.
   
   
7. E-mail me your address when you use them so I can come look!! That's honestly the best part. I've gotten 23 e-mails so far and I have visited every single page.

~*~ How to Take Them ~*~

Go to the Angel Set page. Put your mouse on the picture you want and click the right mouse button. Pick Save Image As... if you have Netscape or Save Picture As... if you have Internet Explorer, and save it somewhere you can find it again. (I make a folder called Angels so they don't get lost.) For the background, right-click on an empty spot of the page and pick Save Background As...

Mac people: you don't have a right button, so just click on the picture and hold the mouse down and the menu pops up.

Then put them on your page with the File Manager, the same way you put up any picture. If you get stuck, e-mail me and I'll try to help. I'm not an expert but I figured it out, so you can too!

~*~ Link to Me! ~*~

This is my button! It twinkles! It's OK to link right to this one (just this one) because it's tiny, and that way if I fix it up someday yours changes too. Copy this and paste it into your page:

Or if you'd rather just have words:

~*~ About Me (the short version) ~*~

I'm in 10th grade. I love angels (duh), the color purple, Jewel, the beach, and watching Touched by an Angel on Sunday nights with my mom and my grandma. Grandma cries at every single one. So do I, but don't tell anybody. I have a cat named Gabriel, after the angel, and he is NOT angelic. He knocks my pencil cup off the desk every night at 2 in the morning just to hear it.

When I grow up I want to be an art teacher, or maybe draw greeting cards. Or both! You can do both, right?
