What fabby weather we are having, we had a barbecue on Saturday at a friends, and it was great. I've finally got the results from my MRI scan, it turns out i have 'inflamation on the lining of my knee', and i'm being referred to a 'Rheumatology' consultant - only problem is, if i went NHS, the wait is another 3/4 months, so i have made the decision to go private, as my fingers and feet are so swollen, and the appointment is tomorrow, will let you know what happens.
I bought this stamp last year from America and it came without a colour front, as it's so old, but i had to have it, as i had seen a few people use it and fell in love with it. I've teamed it up with the fabby 'First Edition - Spring Drop' papers that i spied in The Range the other week, while i was looking for things to decorate H's Easter crown !!, it's also their first outing out for the 'Fleur de lis' Nesties, that i managed to get in a sale.

What beautiful spring colors and love this image!! The charm is my fave part after your gorgeous coloring. Hope you find out what is going on. I see a Rheumatologist as well and hope they get to the bottom of this. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibro and my left hand is swollen at the moment although I have been doing really well for the last several months. Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.
