Each year as we all begin to celebrate the Christmas season I always make wreaths or cemetery stone toppers for our loved ones who are no longer with us. I have always enjoyed making each piece special and this year was no different. I also had many orders for wreaths and stone toppers this year. When I take an order for a cemetery piece I like to ask each client to tell me a little about "their" loved one and what was special to them. I then create a piece that is unique, that also has meaning to the family and I like to add a photo of their loved one to the topper. It may take me a few hours to make a topper but I enjoy each moment of it knowing that this may be the only item that someone can give to a loved one that is no longer here. My customer's are so kind and usually are quite emotional when they come to pick up their topper or wreath. A little bit of me goes into my work and I think they can feel that as well.This topper was made for a mom and a dad, it was made to honor them for the holiday's. The blue used in this piece were the colors the couple had used for their wedding. I really think it came out beautifully...
I love the sparkle of the silver ornaments mixed with the silver poinsettia's blossoms. I also accented this piece with silver berries.
The back of the stone topper is as pretty as the front!
This is a wonderful idea to do. The one you're showing is so beautiful! How touching that you want to make the flowers to reflect folks dear ones! Thanks so much for popping in to see me. be a sweetie, Shelia ;)
The most important thing to me is my family. I love my children and my two granddaughters. My mom is my best friend. My husband Tony is always there for me...Two hearts filled with love, laughter & sometimes heartache.
