I got antibiotic and told to wait. Well yesterday i couldnt wait another day. I was actually in so much pain it had me crying..to the kids amusement! Went to the dentist and got it pulled out. I as really worried at first because i could still feel the toothache while i as still numb but thankfully it settled and i its much better today.

I am here to share my card that i posted on the Digi Bell Blog today. I decided that i was going to make a girly card in pastels as i have been making Christmas cards this week and most have been traditional colours so i needed to get the pinks back out!!
