So I have sensitive teeth and use a toothpaste that helps. Well recently they came out with a new kind in a fancy can and it is a foaming gel. Well I'm game for something new so I bought it and have been using it.
Well let me tell ya…you know how when you use shaving gel and you put a small amount on your hand and rub it a bit and it gets bigger and bigger? How about when you go to the dentist and they have to make a pattern of your teeth so they put a bunch of cement in a mouth guard and squish it in there…then after they leave the stuff starts creeping out the back and getting into the back of your throat? Well that is what this is like.
No matter how small a bit I squish on my brush and let me tell you it is kinda hard to squish just a little bit on there, I start to brush and it gets bigger and bigger, I have to basically brush my teeth with my face into the sink with my mouth open so the stuff can fall out, other wise it is going down my throat. Now I read the can and it says " penetrates hard-to-reach areas"…well I don't think I really need to brush my esophagus do I? I don't know…anyway, I will keep using it up, cause I am also frugal and will not be throwing it out, but I am gonna go back to their regular toothpaste after this is gone.
I wanted to share one of the cards from my Christmas Stamp a Stack, I got the idea from one of my friends Monica Lerma. Somehow it looks blurry, but it is not, I am not sure if it is cause I put the Bride DSP in the background to take the picture or what? Anyway…class attendees will be making 15 cards. They will have 5 different cards to do and then make 3 of each one.
Stamp Set: Wandering Words
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Real Red, Bride DSP
Ink: Jetblack Stazon
Misc: Grosgrain white, lace eyelet border punch, 1 1/4" circle punch
I have been jotting down notes at my desk and you all have to help remind me too. November 3rd… "V" starts, and November 11, the CMA awards are on. Also sometime in November the movie "The Hangover" will be out to buy, and I am getting that the first day, and I am going to watch it with Jeff so I can see him laugh till he cries, (he has not seen it) I love watching and listening to Jeff laugh and this movie is hilarious…in so many wrong ways, but still it is funny!
Oh and who says I don't exercise? I did 4 jumping jacks, 3 squats and 2 lunges this morning just so I could get my jeans on…ha! or maybe I should be saying boo!hoo!
Well that's it for me, have an awesome Wednesday and thanks for stopping in!
that is a pretty card. It does look a little blurry though like you said – not too blurry that we can't see how pretty it is though.
you'll have to record Jeff laughing at the Hangover movie. – it's tooooo funny!
Luv ya

Omgosh! This was too funny. I guess I could say I exercise also….because without those jumping jacks and squats I wouldn't get my pants on either…and I use elastic waist pants LOL!
Di, you crack me up! I have sensitive teeth tooth and I use Crest Sensitivity. It doesn't leave you foaming at the mouth…hee hee!
Cute card! I love the silhouette!
What a beautiful card and a perfect demo card, thanks for the inspiration!
I also suffer from sensitive teeth and let me tell you, I can't have them put that cement-y stuff in my mouth for tooth impressions, makes me gag just thinking about it! 🙂 Thanks for the info on this product, I probably would have given it a try too but will now (thanfully) be spared the experience!! 🙂
don't forget New Moon is out on Nov 20th!
Hi Sandra,
We already have our tickets bought…ha! How bad are we?
I already know I am gonna want to watch it many times.
Hugs,
Di

Thank you. I've had a crappy day, and was just reading your blog before I shut the work computer off for the night, and I laughed out-loud. I can just picture the tooth paste just ozzing everywhere.
That too would make me gag (i am just thinking about it).
Have a good day
Jen
Beautiful card! TFS on the toothpaste. I had thought of trying it but won't now.
Di … I absolutely LOVE the Christmas card! I've never seen anything you've stamped that I didn't just absolutely LOVE!
Penetrating??? Hmmmm………..lol!!! Cute Card Chickie!
LOVE this card.. .really love the silhouette in the moon. I've been listening to the ads about that particular toothpaste product and had it on my list to try.. now I'm not so sure I want to go there! Good luck with finishing it up!
I use that toothpaste! My husband can't, actually I tell him NOT to because he gags….and honestly, when he gags the whole damned neighborhood can hear it. lol
I do like the way it makes my teeth feel afterwards though.
Have a great day sweet girl! ;o)
Hi Marjori,
I love the regular toothpaste, I guess my gag reflexes are sensitive.
Hugs to ya,
Di
Girl, you are just waaaay too funny! I so love your card.

Hey Di~ I cased'd this card and it's on my blog. We are going to make it at my next workshop. I made a few changes (less layers and color/ribbon). Here it is if you want to peek:
