Hi there! Hope you all had a great weekend! Ever get the feeling you're slowly falling apart with age? I sure feel that was lately. I have gained nearly 10 pounds since turning 40 and it seems as though my metabolism is slower that molasses going up a hill in January. So frustrating. I stupidly stubbed my baby toe and fractured it this weekend. Last week, I was eating a SOFT chicken Thai Larb salad and next thing I know, I was crunching on a chunk from one of my molars. Long story short, I am in the process of having a crown made for that tooth. Well, last night while enjoying a piece of Dove chocolate, the temporary crown popped right off! YIKES! I had to go to the grocery store at 11:00 pm to purchase a tube of Polident to stick it back on! The saga continues... While eating Indian Tika Masala tonight, the crown popped off and this time I crunched it right in half! Luckily, I have Monday off from work and hopefully the dentist can see me in the morning to mold another temporary until the permanent arrives on Wednesday! NEVER a dull moment around here!
I have a card to share that I made for a Vintage challenge on Splitcoaststampers using a few of my favorite products.
I hope you enjoy your day / evening!
Be Sweet :)
P.S. ~ I'll be back Tuesday at Midnight Eastern with a fun project that I have been working on. Hope to see you then!
