Face the Music ..... and Dance

Happy Thursday!

I can't stay long ..... another busy day in the old craft room!
No wait ...... I tell a lie there, I'm actually going AWOL this morning (don't tell anyone will you!)
I've had enough this week!  It's been full on since Monday again!

Our visitors left on Tues, I had a bit of an accident with a wheelie bin (that's another story which I wont go into .... all I'm saying is I'm not taking the rubbish out .... EVER again!) and I've had two (yes TWO!!!) visits to the dentist (oh joy!!) Would you believe my darling other half actually said I should have enjoyed yesterday's trip there ..... as it was a new experience for me, and apparently, I don't get many of those at my age ...... cheeky!!! I was actually having my first ever filling .... so looking forward to it was not what I'd call it ...... petrified more like it!!

Anyway, that's all over with now and I can look forward to the weekend again.   On to more important stuff ......

It's Theme Week over at Less is More  and the challenge theme this time is ......

FACE THE MUSIC AND DANCE
We can use any reference to music or dancing on our cards. 

Hmmm ....... a few music stamps, not many dancers in my stash.  Finally I found this little lady .....
on a Penny Black 'T' for Transparent set (12 Days of Christmas ........ she's 9 Ladies Dancing) How cute is she!


She's been coloured using Spectrum Noir pencils and I've added a touch of sparkle to her little tutu


The sentiment is one of my favourites that I've had forever, stamped in Black Versafine and then a few glitter dots added here and there


And I finished off by adding the image again to the inside along with a greeting from Penny Black


Hope you like it.

I don't seem to have had a minute to spare these last few days ....... here's a quick catch up of last weekend.    
We had a great afternoon out at the Isle of Man Food Festival .... ate too much (nothing new there then!) and came away with the usual bag full of goodies ......


First stop was to pick up my favourite Christmas Pudding ....... Oops! looks like one of those delicious fruit cakes ended up in the bag too!


Then on Sunday it was our Grandson's 4th birthday ..... here he is with one of his presents on the prom in Douglas



Then it was time for ice cream ...... I think he likes his helmet!


We had a walk in the beautiful Groudle Glen with his little friend ... Lily


Followed by a ride on the train down to Sea Lion Rocks ..... or should I say 'up' ..... as it's the line that goes up to the sea.


We had to call in at the station shop of course ..... for just one more little birthday treat


He's not half growing up fast ..... next stop 5!

Ooops!  Must dash ........  I've got a few things to do in town this morning, maybe a spot of shopping in there, who knows!  Then I'm meeting up with a friend for coffee and a good old chat!
Enjoy your day ..... I'm going to enjoy mine!

Cheerio until next time
