Well I was supposed to be back at work today after a week and a day off. However I have been having some problems with my left arm. I burned it on the iron just above the elbow nearly 4 weeks ago and about a week ago I started getting terrible itching, numbness and pains in that arm, especially at night. Yesterday it was much better but last night I slept really badly. I didn't know where to put my arm and couldn't get comfortable at all. At 3am I was taking ibuprofen and making hot chocolate so went off the the Doctors today. I have a nerve virus as a result of the burn so have a week's tablets to take. Not feeling too sharp today and didn't even feel like getting out my cardmaking stash. Now you know how bad I felt! Just made this simple Christmas card for 5 challenges and hope to be back at work tomorrow. Also hoping for a better night's sleep tonight although my arm is itching like mad but I am determined not to scratch it. The stamp is a Penny Black for their challenge soft and sweet. The dots on the paper and the swiss dots on the Cuttlebug embossing are for Creative Card Crew polka dots challenge. Winter Wonderland's challenge is Santa Claus is coming to town and this little mouse is writing to Father Christmouse. The last one is One Stop Craft Challenge Good Sense of Humour. You probably can't read the letter but he is asking for some sugar mice, a Tom and Jerry video and a mousetrap game amongst other things.
Just found out my 3rd win is with Stamps for Fun so maybe I'm not going to win the lottery after all, shame. However the prize from Stamps with Fun of a voucher for some digi stamps was a lovely surprise.
