Hello there! Thanks for popping in. What a beautiful day we have been having here in our little retreat – a slice of heaven. I made a pact with myself before leaving England, that Sunday, today, was going to be a craft-free day. After the last couple of weeks, I decided to STOP. The others on the other hand, were all set to get creative as soon as the sun came up! Mel, illustrator par excellence, Sazz, getting right in…
Greetings from France! All landed safe and sound. Some flew in, Some went the long way round! A wonderful mix of Design Team and good friends, all set to have a superb week in one of the most beautiful places in the world. But off to bed I must! Doesn’t look that far to Bretagne on the map….Dover – Calais, but it’s a day away – especially via Dunkerque! Ask Dave! Lots of love Barb xxxx
Hello there! I have just been chuckling away to myself, reading all the comments from yesterday, the chattering away in the wee hours and the guesses at where we went and what we did. So many of you were soooo close. So many of you figured out that the Rugby Club must be involved. Part one CORRECT. But the keys? Nope. In all honesty, you had two hopes of guessing what we took back: Bob Hope and No hope! So…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just got back from an evening walk, after a long but good day up in Peterborough. The Groovi plates were epic again. Pinch me. I really did try to hang on to the embossing tool as long as I could, before Martyn virtually prized it out of my hands because everything had sold out again. Thank you so much for watching and supporting; I curled up when Beryl, she who called Martyn Nigel…
Hello there. Come on in and take a seat. Mindful Wednesday couldn’t have come at a better time for me personally this week. It is a perfect opportunity to focus on the words I am writing, and expel the demons in my head. Better out than in, as they say! You know that expression, “Curiosity killed the Cat” ? Well, let me explain… There has been some negativity on Facebook, regarding our slow delivery and service. I agree; we do…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in. Thought I would offer you another Groovi session. This time, I have used the lovely Butterfly and Wreath Plate – well some of it! I’m a total novice at Parchment Craft, but our Groovi Plates and their Mate certainly make it enjoyable and easy! If you like this Groovi kind of art, and you want to know more, then CLICK HERE much love,
Hi there! Thanks for dropping in so late. I know. I just can’t seem to get ahead here. But hey. Haven’t missed a day yet! Long day at the office, trying to get a handle on the mini explosion we are experiencing in the middle of our little company. The Groovi Revolution has turned us upside down! Sorry if we are slow in getting your orders out at the moment. It’s not for lack of motion, I can tell you!!! But…
Hi there! Happy lazy Sunday here in Crowborough. How about you? I was really looking forward to having an inky session. Am totally in love with the Groovi Art, and it seems that our friends and customers are very happy with the new plate system too, but I have been breathing it, eating it, living it for months, and an inky, messy session was called for today! Especially after watching what Paul was up to yesterday with the little bottles…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in, although it is very late, but just a quicky before I hit the hay. What a day, what a day!! Many thanks to all who came along to Crowborough. It was a pleasure for me to be there – not like work at all. Thank you to a brilliant team of demonstrators: Sam Crowe, Paul Church, Maria Slimms, Dee Paramour and Sally-Ann Hanes. Thank you to our friends Heather and Len, and all the…
Hello! Late again. But in my defence, it has been one hell of a day! This was the Open Day Hall at Crowborough at 8 in the morning. Two hours later, it was a different story! The Clarity demonstrators were in full swing, Sally on Stencils and Stencils, Paul on Fusible Fibres and the new Color Burst powders, Dee on Reinkers and Alcohol inks, Maria on the new fabby Groove Plates. The Kitchen Team was rocking; the lunches were super…
