Bon Voyage

Yes it's been a little quiet here recently. Last week I had man-flu which I desperately tried to hurry along to leave my system so that I could attend a 50th birthday celebration at the quaint, newly restored, vintage-styled Plaza Cinema in Stockport. The whole place had been rented out to the birthday boy and guests for the evening.

After being welcomed along a red carpet to the entrance, we were entertained by an organ recital and a couple of vintage short films. Then it was up the stairs to a lavish spread and an open bar till the early hours. Cake was served, speeches were made and all had a great time. I had a chance to meet up with friends whom I haven't seen in years. As much fun as it was though, I was still the first one to leave the bash. All the medication inside of me couldn't keep me awake. Good job it was just a few minutes walk home. 


However, if you live locally and fancy a retro-themed evening I can highly recommend it.


Colds and work has meant that my crafting and drawing have slipped by the way though. Now that I'm over the pesky bug, I have to organise and prepare for our annual vacation. Yes, France beckons once again. But I didn't want to go and just leave my little space on the web for all that time. So I've cobbled together a quick tag to show.

A scribbled character which I drew, was scanned into photoshop and printed out. I coloured him in, cut him out and stuck him onto a background which I spritzed with green dyes and stamped over. An assortment of embellishments was added and fibres tied in a bow at the top. Nice & easy.

So I'm afraid there'll be no activity on here for a few weeks. But I'll be fully rested and no doubt raring to go with new, creative ideas on my return.

Looking forward to catching up with all your creative blogs soon.
