Hi girls. Thanks for calling in here. I hope you enjoy your visit and find something you like.Well this has been some day. As some of you know I haven't had the best of weeks healthwise. The pressure sore on my heel became infected and I was put on antibiotics. I go to the surgery twice a week to get it dressed and hubby dresses it in between. Well yesterday (Sunday) it did not look good at all . It was very sore and weeping horrid green stuff (sorry too much detail). The whole heel was a dark purple colour and my leg up to my knee was swollen and very red. Hubby was very worried and phoned NHS24. I ended up in hospital for a couple of hours to not much avail to be honest. They told me it was cellulitis and changed my antibiotic and told me to go back to my doctor tomorrow. We came home and hubby redressed it after cleaning it out but I am sore and knackered. Enough moaning on to happier things.
I haven't been able to craft at all so I'm posting another Stampaholics class creation and entering it into the Simon Says challenge where we were to make a card for a child. The image is an Inkadinkadoo stamp coloured using Polychromos pencils. I used Bazzil Bling with My Mind's Eye papers. the embellishments were provided by Siobhan at the class. Where would I have been without her classes these last few days.
I have been given another award from Therese in Norway which I will post tomorrow.
Please have a great day and stay safe.
Hugs,
