Singing so Beautifully–Winter Limited Edition Promarkers

Or maybe the Cats Chorus.

Another card made with the Winter Limited Edition ProMarkers by Letraset 

I used Singing so Beautifully by Mo’s Digital pencil for my image and used the Polar Blue and the Icicles for the grey/blue cat and the Eggnog and sandstone for the gingerish cat

Meeting Leona Lewis

Who would have believed it?

It seems that you shouldn't cross Simon Cowell, Leona has had to take up a part time job to make ends meet.

However we are so pleased we met her, lovely lady.

From Manchester to Dominican Republic

Well I'm sitting here trying to get tired enough to go to sleep, we booked into the hotel on the airport, Etrop Grange and it is lovely, very plush, Chris is already fast asleep as we have to be up and at the airport by 06:15 am, hopefully no-one will talk to me until I'm awake.

It's a long flight eight hours so I,m planning once seat belts can be took off to try to move around a little to stop me from seizing up. I'll report back in once we land and are settled.

..................................

 

In Flight

We're on our way, we may look bright eyed and bushy tailed but its all show.

Fluffy white clouds and dirty windows, it was fun watching the ice crystals form on the windows in pretty patterns then melt away and start all over again into another pretty pattern
Dominican Republic
Oh my word, stepping off the plane into a wall of heat, I'm normally a cold bum, I sat with my coat on for most of the flight but the minute we stepped off the plane I/we, needed to get into swimwear.

On arriving at our hotel we were handed a fruity slush drink, heavens we needed that ice, first impressions is/was paradise, our room is amazing, it's enormous, the towel on the bed folded into a swan with tropical flowers adorning it, everything you need in the bathroom included in our stay, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, body lotion, flannels, shower caps, hair dryer etc etc etc.

As you can see I am relaxing.

As you can see above today's towel was left in the form of a cobra, isn't it fun.

 

Living space has a mini bar fridge packed to the gills with bottled and canned drinks and a coffee filter for those all important wake up drinks, the bed is so big that we lost each other in it and we both lay like star fish all night ha,ha.

We had a brilliant nights sleep although we were both wide awake at 03:45 due to the time change.

We got up and got the coffee straight on and sat and chattered in our robes and slippers again provided by the hotel, by 06:00 there was a tropical shower outside which was quite refreshing and hopefully will clear the way to some tropical sun.

And the view outside our balcony at 06:30

Ok time for a meet and greet and to sort out some wifi so I can get this post made.

Be good

Jak & Chris from Paradise xxx
