Ouch!

Hello Blogland and I hope that your week has started well - or at least better than mine lol!  Thanks for all your lovely comments about my last card, and the photo of that rascally Tilly the Dog and for your good wishes about the toothache!  I saw my dentist on Monday and after much prodding, poking and xrays it turns out to be something of a recurrence of a problem I had about 18 months or so ago.  And if you're of a squeamish disposition I'd just scroll down a bit now and skip the next bit!  I won't go into the gory details, but he thinks I have a cyst in the upper jaw above 4 of my front teeth, so had two root drilled & treated, got two different lots of antibiotics for a week and then off to the doctor's for extra-strong painkillers! He's referring me to the maxillo-facial surgeon at the hospital as if it is a cyst (he doesn't think it's a tumour because of the shape apparently!) then it may need surgery. I'm just not going to think about it yet!  I did protest in my most pathetic voice that I've just got a new job and didn't want time off!  Sigh.  Why can nothing ever be simple - just a quick 'drill and fill' and back to normal!  Hey ho.  Such is life!

So I'm playing for extra sympathy at home - not that it's working noticeably!  And it was off to work today albeit doped up with painkillers. I can't really take time off when I'm already working my notice can I? But it's gradually easing off a bit now, and hopefully when the antibiotics really get working then I'll feel a bit more human again.  Regular readers of my little blog will know me by now - ever the optimist and 'glass half full' sort of person!  Good job both hubby and I are quite happy, relaxed souls otherwise I think we'd go mad sometimes lol!

So, I'll let you know how things go - and I'm hoping that once it all feels a bit better I'll be able to get on with some crafting!  I must have been feeling rough if I've not been near my craft table!  But I've got a little card to share with you that I made before I went away with my prize win of a HunkyDory kit, very handy for a quick card!

I've simply added some spotty ribbon from Joanna Sheen, a Marianne ivy leaf die cut (with a touch of glamour dust) and some pink cherry blossoms from WOC. 

Right, I'm off to have a cup of tea - and take yet more tablets lol! 
I'll be back soon,
Take Care,
Kim x

    Fabulous card Kim! Gorgeous colours, image and layout...really works well together.

    Ouchie for your poor mouth. Problems always hurt more in that area than anywhere else so you have my sympathy. Hope it's sorted out very soon and that the pain is a dim and distant very nasty memory!

    Ouch indeed! I sure hope this turns out to be something very simple and easy to fix for you Kim. Take care of yourself. I know it's going to be stressful with the new job starting and all. The card is scrumptiously delish! That touch of glitzy shimmer really grabs your eye. Hugs and feel LOTS better!
