WOW you deserve every award going, you are the worlds inspiration to us all. I have tried things I would have never thought about before knowing you, mind you still have a few problems with gelli plate, but getting there.
Never give up your blog, its starts my day off just right. If I could get the biggest STAR in the world I would send it to you. Very well done from us all.
Oh Barbara I am absolutely chuffed to bits, this is perfect and perfect timing too I reckon! You can truly chill out now on your little break. CONGRATULATIONS – and especially so on that Blog Award, that's a biggie too. xxxxx Sam
brilliant news Barbara – well deserved!! I was thinking of giving up on my cardmaking hobby but thanks to your blog and your inspiration I have changed direction a little and become a Clarity girl and am enjoying my hobby again – so thank you for your inspiration and your natural ability to teach us your techniques.
Just thought – surely someone must nominate you for an MBE or whatever? Needs to be someone closer to you who can really talk about the commercial impact as well as the social but I bet we would all be willing to act as referees!! You have – singlehandedly – made such a difference to peoples lives by showing what can be done with great tools and support/inspiration from a great teacher. I have one other stamp designer whom I 'follow' and between you you make me think 'I can have a go at that!' – not always successfully but with great fun and enjoyment!
Well done to you and all the team I read your blog everyday and the coasters that you made before Christmas, that I shamelessly copied,went down a storm. Thanks Clare
Well done congrats to all the team I won't say may all your dreams come true I think they just have brilliant xxxxxxxxx
You deserve each and every award Barbara, Dave and all the Clarity Team. Well Done!!!
Thank you and so much for sharing all you do with us every day on your blog.
Also a bigger THANK YOU to you and our lovely Sazz for CEM & ALL the Friendships that have grown because of our love for Clarity products and wanting to learn new techniques.
Love Wendy X
Well Done thoroughly deserved, I love watching you on C & C and have learnt so much from watching you.

Congratulations with the winning awards Barbara and team…the blog award really is so well deserved…you bring your brand so close to the bloggers and buyers in such a great way…always with a smile and great inspiration!!! Enjoy the party!!!
greetings, Alie 🙂
Oh, congratulations Barbara I could 't be more pleased for you. Nothing that you didn't deserve, after all your (and the teams) hard work. I'm still waiting for my orders from your last show on C&C before you flew off. Some from them, and some from you – I'm hoping they will come today.
Well done and congratulations to your whole team. I read your blog every day, it's very down to earth and inspirational. Long may your success continue. Enjoy!

Congratulations to all of you what a wonderful way to finish off your latest venture too

Well done and well deserved and I am not surprised either that you won or that your blog got recognised as it has. I am addicted as many of us are, my day not complete until I have read it and I get so concerned if you post late worrying in case something has happened. My husband just rolls his eyes and goes "Oh its Barb again is it" but secretly I think he enjoys watching your shows as much as I do. Congratulations, celebrations and all that jazz
Congratulations to you and all the Clarity Team. You've worked hard for this and it's well deserved, but it's nice to be recognised for it and to feel appreciated. Hope this good start to the year carries on you enjoy your well earned break down Mexico way.

Hi Barbara, this is brilliant news, many congratulations to you and to Dave and your team too. Very much deserved awards. (I'm glad I made the huge effort it took me to vote for you :)) Barbara you give so much of your time, and of you to us, that is so special and a very precious gift I receive from you each and every day. It's no exaggeration to say this blog of yours has been and is still a huge part of getting me through an extremely difficult time in my life, on top of all your craft product must haves, demos and inspiration. Even my special person Nicola talks about what you and your blog is doing for me and giving me :). I couldn't be happier for you (feeling very not well today but this news has managed to cheer me up and put a smile on my face :)) I bet you are still grinning from ear to ear and still doing your happy dance. This following on from your successful USA launch, and both oh so deserved after many years of your hard work.
You are one very special lady
enjoy your break
love Brenda xx

Well good evening Barbara, Dave and the whole Clarity Team – wow and well done to each and everyone of you.
As I sit and write this after a rotten day at work I note that 200 have responded before me…200!!!! wow that has to be somewhat of a record too!!
So picture this (in the great words of the Golden Girls)…September 2012 – Sunday morning – TV on there was Barbara Gray…I was mesmerised…out came the bank card and off I went….fast forward to July 2013…Little Baddow…day two of the workshops and I met you….in awe I tried so hard to do reflections …still to master them!!! I helped clear up and chatted with you and a couple of other ladies..you spoke then of the blog you wanted to do.. Fast forward a bit more…August 2013 I drove all the way to Peterborough to Sally-Ann Haynes first workshop in the East Midlands, supported by Saz's partner Mark, Hazel Edwards and her husband Steve,all the way from SE London, you came to on a surprise visit….September 2012 I joined a Maria Simms class in Preston…and so my journey of friendship, fun, laughter, support and learning….forward a bit more…July 2014 Crowborough…oh what a fab couple of days…met so more of the Design Team…Sam, Jane, Jo to name but a few….some of them have become such close friends even though miles between us is vast….my journey with Sally-Ann (Saz) with her launch of Nottingham workshops also began last year – where I still tidy up…make oodles of tea and coffee for people like Fi Scott, Maggie Craner, Debbie Rock to name but a few….again people who have become good friends…Amanda Branston, Julie Rose and again Jane Telford also visited ….Those three and Saz supported me through one of my darkest days in 2014 – all of this out of watching you….Barbara – if there was a prize for inspiring friendships – for generating enthusiasm to push the boundaries of the comfort zone I would nominate you and vote for you over and over. You have given me a lease on life I thought I had lost, you have opened my door to making wonderful wonderful friends across the miles – some I now see very regularly!!! – They know who they are ;).
And…as this year begins….it seems my life journey is about to take some different turns…both exciting and frightening…yet behind that my great friends who I have made in this journey are there with me, supporting me every step of the way – I have that because of you.
This blog that you do daily, is one of a must for me every day, I have rarely missed a day, rarely missed posting a comment – you are worthy winner Barbara
Thank you so much
my love as ever to you especially – and all the team

Congratulations! So the voting confirmed what we all knew – simply the best!
Loved the live USA launch show. Didn't know you could demo so fast. They should have given you 2 hours. Wonderful new stamps and stencils. I have high hopes for my birthday next weekend.
So pleased for you and the team. You all do a great job so it's well deserved. Your blog has definitely had me trying a lot more techniques for the last year, long may it continue. Thank you Barbara! p.s. when will the two day workshop dates be released for the summer? – I'm really looking forward to going again!

Awards well deserved!! Well done to everyone at Clarity Towers. It's a privledge to be allowed into your world each and every day via the blog. Thank you! X
Congratulations, and well done, also, on your show in California! I agree you need a longer slot for demo's though…………..or your own TV channel!!
Congratulations to the whole Clarity team! Couldn't be more deserved. xx

Well deserved. You explain everything so clearly at shows and on TV, truly inspiring!
What now?
Well done Barbara you deserve it you work so hard and are so talented. Bet your palms were sweating when you found out! X
Well done all, no surprise really you put so much hard work in, so glad it has been rewarded, Your natural blogging style is lovely Barbara just the treat with a cuppa. I hope you are all celebrating big time.
That's fantastic news, I'm so glad I voted for you and clarity. You and the team deserve it. The shows at CHA were brilliant x
Congratulations! It's well deserved. Clearly, the repeat awards for Best Stamp Range and Best Designer must mean a lot, as this is the core of Clarity – but I agree with you, the award for the Blog is particularly special, because this is where you give so much of yourself and the award just goes to show how much you mean to all your many followers.
Long may it continue – and next year, maybe it'll be a Queen's Award for International Trade!
Congratulations Barbara and your team. Thank you for your wonderful products, examples, great demos and inspirational blog. These help us crafters to achieve great results and value from your products. Looking forward to seeing you at Crowborough. Onwards and upwards. Kind regards Marian xxx
