Wedding....

Wednesday is here again, I'm sure there aren't seven day since last Wednesday!!! It's amazing how fast the weeks are flashing past.....only 47 weeks till we go back to Zakynthos lol.

This beautiful lady bought her tiara from us as well as her bridesmaid tiaras and all of her stationery. It was lovely working with her.

 Thanks for looking :)

Seating plans & post boxes

made as samples for yesterday's wedding open day.

Thanks for looking.

Seating plans

The week started brilliantly on Monday morning as I booked two local wedding fayres for October. I will do one and my mum and dad are going to do the other one for me.....it keeps them out of mischief and gives them something to do lol I'm tearing ahead with orders which have been collected so I'm dead chuffed with myself.

I've got two weddings at the same venue this weekend so have finished all the stationery. I really love my work and have met some of the nicest people ever. I've not had one bridezilla, they have all been gems. I did, however, have the most obnoxious, arrogant groom I have ever come across about 18 months ago! He was really horrid and his girlfriend was lovely and very embarrassed......the good news on that one is that I've never seen them since as they are not local. I couldn't figure out why on earth she was marrying him lol

Anyway, I digress, back to the seating plans etc

I really must think about getting a tripod for my camera. I have a back problem and lean slightly to the left so consequently I tend to take slightly wonky photos! Generally I can retake them once I've had a look but this one was actually collected before I had a look at the pics.

Right, this time I really am going to make tea, byeee :)

And the rest!

The following were made for a wedding on Saturday and were collected last night
.60 place cards
a guest book
a seating plan

seating plan for a wedding on 19th September

10 baby thank you cards which supplemented the order for 60 I made in July!

I also managed to sit out in the garden for an hour at lunch time when my friend came during her luch hour AND I went to the Range too. I couldn't keep that up every day LOL Apart from the bit about sitting outside, I could cope with that every day and if it's as lovely tomorrow as it has been today then I'll be out there again tomorrow.

Tomorrow I need to make a
Christening card,
a wedding card,
start a baby album,
add some yellow feathers to a cerise fascinator (!),
make cards for DH's birthday on Saturday and DD2's birthday on Monday
and make a start on a seating plan for the 26th
DT card for Saturday

I also have two wedding fayres (20th and 27th) that I need to prepare for.

That's it from me tonight, take care and thanks for looking.

Weddings

.......are taking up the majority of my time at the moment (like approximately 16 hours a day) It's a good job I enjoy my work :)

Here are a few of the items that have kept me up over the last couple of months!! LOL


I've used a variety of items but it seems to predominantly QK dies and Nesties :)

BFN xx

DCM Friday plus

I can't believe where the last week has gone. I have missed so many challenges but need to make half a dozen cards ordered so should be able to fit some in this week. I have worked 19 hour days for the last two weeks. I just can't believe how much wedding work I've had in this week. It has been great and I've loved every minute of it but boy am I tired!! LOL

I realised at eight o'clock this morning that I hadn't even had a look at the DCM challenge this week (let alone done one :)) so as I had a teacher card to make I whizzed over and had a look. It was Tracie's turn this week and here is her brief "I want you to make a QUICK CARD! a card that takes you no more than hmm say 30 minutes max to do - start to finish. No set ingredients and pick your own theme, but be quick and be crafty! (and dont forget to tell us how long it took too).

I really must try to do 'unwonky' scans!! papers, card and vellum are from my scrap box - K & Co, Pink Petticoat and Papermania and everything else is from my stash and not sure where else. The die cuts are Cuttlebug. The sentiment was done on the pc and the card took me 15 minutes.

I can't believe that I am on week three of my stint as guest designer on Di Hickman's blog Here is Di's templateand this is the card I made

This card was made for DH's uncle for his birthday this week. Papers are K & Co and Under the Boardwalk by Daisy Bucket, stamp is from Clevercut and everything else is from my stash.

So what else have I been up to? Well, here are a couple of things I've done :)

Am off now to check out Sue's blog as I've been tagged :)

Need a favour

Gosh, I am so bad at thinking up titles for posts!! Anyway here are some pics of what I have been up to this week.

I am doing two guest books at the moment then tomorrow morning I'm having my nails done and tomorrow afternoon I shall make two seating plans and a few more place cards. We are dressing two very different venues, at the same hotel, on Sunday. One is a Victorian House which we are doing in burgundy and gold and the other is very modern in dark blue and gold.

I will be taking my camera with me so will post some pics soon.

Take care. x
