CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #81 - hosted by Pamela

I am still with the digital cards although I am noticing some improvement in my wrist after the jab.  A little less pain and almost no terrible pins and needles.  So hopefully it will continue this way.

I had a lot of fun making this card using one of my favourite characters - Boofle - from Docrafts.

So here he is.

It was fun choosing some favourite poses, changing sizes etc, and then thinking of some appropriate text/sayings.  The border was from my graphics programme.  Everything else was  'Boofle' from Docrafts Digital Designer.

The card was made for the Card For Kindness group on UKSN and is winging its way to its recipient in Australia. I am hoping that by the time this post appears it will have reached Sue.

I will be busy next week choosing my Top 3 for the last challenge and with the improvement hoping to find it all a mite easier.

I have a little story to relate  about my son - true - it happened last week.

I am taking a drug called Gabapentin.  Supposed to help with Carpal Tunnel Pain.  I am on quite a heavy dose and one of the side effects is to make you dizzy and unsteady.  I have been suffering - in spades - as they say, and had a long chat with medics about it and it is being reduced.

That bit is just background.  Yesterday afternoon I went outside the front door to the post box (separate from the house) to see if there was any post and when I bent down I started to lose my balance - big time.  In fact, in my mind's eye, I could see myself hitting the box and ground.  Anyway, I manage to get back up straight and all was well.

Later on, Chris  came home just for a moment and he asked how I was.  I told him about the incident and what I needed was one of those alarm bells you wear round your neck if you do fall.  But I said I couldn't have one of those because I am not on my own.  What I needed was one that just connected to him but such a thing would be impossible.

Ah says he. What you need is a Cow Bell.

I am just about still talking to him.

Hugs to all and please still be careful.

CD Sunday Plus - Challenge #80 - hosted by me (Carol)

 Yes, it is my turn again to host the challenge and choose the Top 3.  I have some treatment starting on Tuesday for the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and I am hoping it will be taking effect when I have to do some concentrated mouse work when choosing the winners.

In the meantime here is my contribution for #80.  Very simple again - I am afraid - but not long now I hope.


This was a digital download - printed twice - so that I could very carefully cut out the central oval.  This I decoupaged using sticky pads.  I had added 'Margaret' and the borders before I printed it all out.

This card is for a member of a Birthday List to which I belong.

It gets very tiring using the mouse and keyboard so I will just say that I look forward to visiting your blogs and choosing my Top 3.

Hugs
