aghhhhhhh!!!!!!!! 

You'd think by now I'd know what I want for Adam's headstone - but everytime I think I've made a decision I either have 2nd thoughts or a different idea.

I thought I'd finally decided - and the stonemason has just sent me another suggestion!  I love him for it, he's being so helpful - but now I cant decide which one I like best.

I want him to have a headstone, his cross is now looking a bit shabby and I've managed to save enough money for it.  It's just making that final commitment.  Dp hasnt helped so far either!

I like the idea that this one will be looking in our direction when we walk down to visit Adam.

This is the suggestion he's sent me today and I love this design but the feet dont look quite right in the drawing.


I'm pretty much decided on the words (I think!)....

And on the bottom stone which he says he can slope down - instead of the flower pot, I want an image of a shooting star and it to say...

Twinkle twinkle little star
You are always in our hearts


Honest opinions & feedback will be very welcome. kis

hiya,
i like the second one with the star, but same as you i am unsure about the feet.  i like the second one as it ties in with your bit about the shooting star andwhat you have written - twinkle ,twinkle little star.
coudl you ask the stonemason to change his feet?

Donna,

I love the second one, could you ask him to do another drawing without the feet just to see what it looks like?

The wording is perfect.

Love Lee x x x x

I agree the second stone is perfect with different feet, what with the wording I think the star is just perfect.

Take care

Would he have a more approriate picture for you like a photograph of the actual stone, it maybe that he has tried to send you and examdrawign skills aint exactly upto scrath lol. I think the second one would fit in perfectly with the twinkle twinkle, but both are lovely and am sure Adam will be very proud whatever you choose x x x

Thank you for the feedback!   

The star one is actually a new one he's designed, but it would be in the same stone as the heart one.  I've contacted him and he agreed and said that he struggled with the feet and can easily do it without them.  Just need to ask him how he can fill in that bottom bit as I dont want it to be black like the star.

I suppose I'm taking a bit of a gamble, but I like the idea that it's something new.  It wont be original as he'll be offering the design to others later, but it'll be a while before I see another stone the same.
