First Monday in March!

I have not been a very good blogger.
I got my DT card to Debbie for Crafty Pad but never got it posted on my blog
due to feeling pretty unwell last week.

I was on holiday from work and managed to pull a muscle in my back on Tuesday.
I had treatment from a friend on Tuesday & Wednesday which helped me out.
But then I found I had toothache!
I went to the dentist on Thursday and he couldn't see which tooth was causing the problem!
He too X-rays, squirted my tooth with cold air, freezing cold water, poked it , tapped it......put some thermo gloop on it.....Nothing!

He wondered if I was biting down on my teeth due to the back pain which was causing me problems when I walked.
I was back again on Friday but as I had no pain & He still couldn't find the offending tooth
he did my 6 Monthly check up scale & polish, which was due next week including full X-rays to see what he could find.
This showed two possibilities, one needing root treatment and the maybe another a small filling.
He would see me in 2 weeks time if nothing else happened.

Well I felt so ill this weekend, like I had the flu without sneezing or coughing.
Cold & Shivery. And just not well in myself.
Back this morning to the dentist who tapped my tooth and BINGO!
We found the offending tooth!!! And it has an infection in it!

So I have had root canal treatment, some pain killers although I am not sore as still numbed up...don't you hate it when that stuff wears off!!
And I am slevering all over the lap top when I speak which DH find funny!

Am gonna go catch up with blogging buddies and then maybe a wee lie down....

normal service should be resumed shortly!

Crafty Pad #11

Yes for challenge 11 it's .... Do the Twist

Please use a Crafty Pad Stamp...Faith, Just Ted or Butterfly...:) :)

The new stamps are in stock and available......Just Ted - all Occasions and the Butterflies with verse. :) :)

You know I love these butterflies!
And I am so chuffed that my wee pink butterfly is the link button
on Crafty Pad for the butterfly stamps!



I have added twisted wire to my card.
The LOVE sentiment is a shop bought one.
There is again a twisted wire antenna on the butterfly.
And I used some twisted wire on on the verse, which is stamped onto shrink plastic and coloured using my chalk inks.
The back ground stamp was a beautiful new rose and leaf stamp that I received
in a blog candy win from my lovely bloggy mate Chrissy.

Debbie also has some blog candy available till 7th March.

As you know I LOVE butterflies
so my new stamps from Debbie at Crafty Pad
are right up my street.

I am loving using the large butterfly on cards just now.
It is a diggie download that am using for my
DT work on Crafty Pad.

The papers are again Bo Bunny range.
Must get some more tomorrow.
The small butterfly is the large stamp on shrink plastic,
coloured using sukura pen & chalk inks.

I used a small shimmery bead on it's head.

You can remove it, as it is actually a brooch!!

I am entering it for Arty Girlz Challenge
who are also looking for Butterflies!
and in A spoonful of suagr challenge who are looking for
shape shifter cards.

Blog Candy !
