FESTIVE CUDDLES

 Well what a day it is pouring with rain and the temps have dropped I suppose that it is nothing new for us Brits to top it all I have for the first time ever a UTi and on antibiotics, I wonder if it is a sign that I am getting old 😒

Today I have my 2nd KERST/CHRISTMAS DT card to share, this month it is Anything Goes and everyone is welcome to join us HERE on Facebook 

Our sponsors are 

All Dressed Up and Polkadoodles

My image features a Polkadoodles festive one that I have coloured with both Spectrum Noir and Graphic markers, I chose a green and blue colour combo the papers are both Nitwits and from my stash, the die cut frame is a large Tonic one, I have used silver holographic card which is why I have taken two pictures so you could hopefully see the glimmer, I stamped the sentiment and added 2 Poinsettia's.  



I would like to enter my card into the challenges as follows:

It is wonderful to see that at least 3 challenge blogs are celebrating their 15th birthday's this month, that is such a major feat especially these days as so many challenge blogs have closed over the years I do hope that you will come join us at Kerst/Christmas 
hugs

So sorry you aren't feeling well, hope you get better soon! This dancing weather isn't good for we all, neither for animals and plants!! Be strong and take care!
Your card is delightful in blue and silver holographic, wow! So festive and sweet! Fabulous colouring and love so much that big tonic frame, very elegant!
Agree with the challenges that still resist!
Hugs!

Those cuddling kiddos are so cute and they look wonderful on that sparkly holographic card. Those flowers are a great accent and I like the diagonal polka dot strip too. Take care with that UTI - I drink organic cranberry juice that keeps those in check.

So sorry abut the UTI Lorraine, they can be nasty, they thought that was what I had but not (could have told them that) so a day on IV in hospital and not much further forward yet.

Gorgeous Christmas card and what a sweet image.

Oh no UTIs are horrible. Just keep on drinking (water of course). Lovely Christmassy card and I love the gold and blue. Thanks for your lovely comments on my recent posts. I think it is a very positive thing that you can let all the new stuff pass you by. I try my hardest not to get sucked in, but often fail. There is just too much these days. You should stick to what you do/like best and leave it at that xx

Lolo= (1) your Christmas card is gorgeous and delightful! The shimmer is a terrific touch and having the 2 views helps to 'reflect' that! :)

(2) I'm hoping and praying that your doctor identified the bacteria and has the correct class group of antibiotic to get it cleared up. My mom has been hospitalized for the past 2-3 days with a UTI that didn't clear up with 1 round of antibiotic finished the week before. Her related symptoms and being elderly led to increasing confusion, weakness, etc. By Monday night it took both my hubby and I to get her to stand and turn to switch from chair to wheelchair. So I took her to the ER and after some preliminary testing she was admitted for observation, IV antibiotic and saline, and more tests to rule out whether she had a stroke or not. I don't want to scare you. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

(3) Thanks for participating in FQCCCB #8!

Firstly, my heart goes out to you with an UTI, I have had many in my life it is the worst, all I can say is keep drinking until you think you'll drown. As I got older I was getting them every other week, then was told that I didn't have a UTI, but was dehydrated. Now I drink plenty a day.
On to your delightful card, I love the image and the shiny gold and beautiful flowers. Take care x
