However, to try to get us all cheered up the girls over at Out of a Hat Creations have decided that "Summertime" is the theme for their challenge this week.
This little boy has been coloured in using my Caran D'Ache watercolour crayons and is a Faye Whittaker rubber stamp. I just fell in love with her Victorian collection when they first came out. I think I have blogged all the four that I purchased now with this last one.
This was done for a friend of mine for his birthday - and as he loves France I hope it made him think of his favourite country. It certainly reminded me of a holiday I once had there.
