Getting closer to the big day....it is causing all sorts of havoc with my eldery clients.
'My lady'...[bless her,through gritted teeth]...was adamant that she drove to the shops last year and bought Christmas roast dinners for her freezer....so why cant I find them??
I tried to explain that the roast dinners are the same [they are the only kind you can get] but she still thinks that they made Christmas ones last year.............................so picked up the phone, rang my house, had an argument with my own answering machine, and demanded why they have not made Christmas dinners this year, as my lady is very dissappointed.....came back to her and said they were very sorry, but this year they just sticking to normal roast dinners....she was satisfied....I left her house with a headache.
Diamonds.....they gave me a headache as well...only because there was a challenge at TEDDY BO
and it is, use your birth stone, and mine is diamond April. Dont know why I found it difficult,maybe getting tired so near the end of the year.
Anyway came up with this Teddy Bea card....
Coloured with pencils, and papers are Prima 'Sparkling Spring'..added tiny butterflies to the flowers and crystals...
Bit of a side view...
Close up of Fairy Bea...now...this is my theory.. she is sending magical diamonds from her wand and turning the butterflies into diamonds on the vine...she would be a very handy Fairy Bear to have around if she could do that..lol..
So there you go, another card done, in between these invites...the cones have gone out the window, as the reception is on a beach, and with the sea breezes the cones were too light, she loved the one I made, but could be too light, and I was not going to offer any advice on fixing the problem, just too much to do, and didnt want the fluff around with only 4 weeks notice.
Cannot show the invites yet, as she wants me to wait till after the wedding, very plain anyway, but nice...the wedding theme sounds really lovely though.
Here is the one and only cone...
I added butterflies and pearls to it, but she shot off with it before I could take another photo.
Anyway, that is over...just have 30 more invites to do, and thats over too.
Better get ready for work, time is rolling fast this morning...hope the rest of the day does too...it's going to be a long and busy one.
Big welcome to my new follower, thank you so much for joining me, and thank you all for your fabulous comments.
See you tomorrow...
Luv CHRISSYxx

So glad you made your client happy. She probably won't remember tomorrow... My hubby has dementia and I tell ya, somedays it's a real challenge but I think he's rubbing off on me so it doesn't bother me that much anymore. The cancer is in remission and for that I am so thankful, dementia and all.......
Your card is so creative and cute. Only you would have thought of turning butterflies into diamonds........ I have to say though that I am in love with your reindeer card and how you've created the sky.
Will be back to blogging in January, just needed to work out a schedule to where I have some me time where I can concentrate and get lost...
Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year! "Hugs"

Hi Chrissy.
I love your fairy bee making her magic wish with all those lovely glittering diamonds. :)
I also love your reendeer card I saw over at MIM. I am visiting you via that post. Happy holidays!
The card is lovely..and the cone is rather posh... That would look rather nice on the table at christmas....
Could you not have strapped a brick to the bottom of the cone...very attractive!
Yer card's beautiful, love those gold corner thing-m-bobs...very pretty. I do laugh (I know I shouldn't) at your tales of 'your lady', you've gotta love 'em xxx
