NEWSFLASH: NEW SIGNED CALENDARS GO ON SALE TODAY!
Hi there.
Thanks for popping in today.
Early or what ?!?!
Everything has had to wait today, because I wanted to share
our latest little creation with you!
Yesterday afternoon,
the printer delivered the first batch of 2016 Calendars,
(haha! Strange number to deliver, thought Mrs Literal)
(haha! Strange number to deliver, thought Mrs Literal)
And oh Boy! Am I delighted with the quality!
Hats off to Leanne and her team!
Hats off to Leanne and her team!
It’s a calendar of some of my favourite past projects.
Some blogged, some YouTubed.
So a nostalgic collection in A3 format.
There are photo step by step instructions
on the back of each month,
for creative folk who want to have a go.
But I think that even non-crafty people might be intrigued to see how we crafty folks arrive at our finished creations!
In the chaotic months leading up to today,
we haven’t managed to launch our colouring book,
although it is so close, and so beautiful !!
But a calendar was achievable,
and here it is.
I am modestly chuffed to bits.
Dave and I picked the artwork.
Jim photographed the artwork.
I wrote the Step by Steps and took those photos.
Rob did the layout and constructed the whole thing.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
What’s more, we made it happen in a week.
From start to finish.
I must be a nightmare to work with actually.
Walks in on Monday morning with a pile of artwork, and says,
“I want to design a Calendar. By Friday.”
I think I’ll sign the first 200 that are ordered.
Who knows?! It might be worth a few bob one day!!
So if you fancy a copy,
or you want them as Christmas Presents,
get them now.
When they’re gone, they’re gone.
love and hugs,
a very excited old

Good morning fantastic brilliant idea must get one have a good day xxx

Finally!will order this morning! Still have 2012 one and refer to it.
Fantastic , I have ordered mine. Will I be lucky enough to get a signed one? Can't wait to have copies of your art work hanging on my craft room wall. Thank you Barbara x
Ooh! Exciting!! Will raid the bank and get one ordered when i get home. What a lovely surprise to see you posting so early with such fabulous news. I am looking forward to the colouring book too.
What a lovely idea.
Good morning Barbara,
I'm so pleased I have your blog as my Home Page because for once I think I've got in in the early stages and have already ordered your 2016 calendar! I normally scribble all over mine, but not this one which will remain in a pristine condition for viewing only in my art room. What a great idea to include the step-by-steps for each one to inspire us all. My son is buying it for me as my Christmas pressie and I will feel very special indeed to have my own signed edition (if your poor neck will allow you to sign 200 of them!).
Thank you so much and have a great day.
Alison xx

Ordered 2 before I read your blog. One for me and one for a crafty friend who I know will appreciate it as much as me and everyone else who loves you and what you inspire us with each and every day of the year! We love you and the amazing team you have behind you. Blessings to everyone. Vanessa XX
These look fab – as soon as I got the email here at work I sneakily went on-line and ordered two as I'm off to America next month and want to give one to my Cousin who we are staying with, and of course, one for myself! I normally get a Lang calendar when I'm in the US, now I don't have to worry about it.
Great idea Barbara.
Have a great day and looking forward to the shows on Sunday! Carole xxx
A lovely idea Barbara and some wonderful artwork choices each totally suiting the month and/or the season. It would make a great Christmas gift. Looking forward to Sunday. x
Fantastic. A must have! ;~}
That was sneaky getting in so early today, and I nearly missed it until my friend Debbie told me. So I hope my order is in early enough to get them signed -pleeease! It looks really good and I cannot wait to get hold of mine. xxx Maggie
What a fantastic idea. Don't know if I will make the first 200 but ordering one to put away for Christmas.

Happy half term Miss…. have another one on me enjoy…xx
Makes it hard to colour in the lines, wine and dancing! XX
Hi Barbara
Oooooh this looks rather lovely, might be falling off that wagon again! Haha, you, a pain to work with Barbara! No I'm sure they all love you really! Great teamwork though so well done everyone at Clarity for the quick turn around. I think it's great you give credit to the entire team too, shows what a great employer you are – despite your mad cap schemes – that always work! Have a lovely evening.
Love Diane xxxx
Ha ha ha …might…might..bet you fell before me you can't kid a CCA member those bruises are never going to fade ….xx
Hi Barbara ..Bye Barbara ..off to the website hope I'm not to late a signed one would be just great….xx
Hi Brenda please say Hi just to let me know your ok missing you remember we're here for you and need to know your ok…xx
Hi Barbara, I've been out all day so just logged in to see the fabulous calendar with all the stunning artwork which will brighten up the wall each month. I've ordered one as an early pressie from me to me, just hope as I'm not an early bird that I'm lucky enough to get a signed one
early bird catches the worms! Well ordered my calendar and a bespoke stamp. I shall be devastated if I do not manage to get a signed one – I will even come down and hand you a pen!! I have been hard at work for the MOJ and did not get in till late – overlisting of courts and some more! I can calm down now and enjoy Clarity. I hope you will answer your door when I come knocking for a signature on my beautiful calendar (I still have one from years back) Thank you for such wonderful artwork and the expertise of you and your team. Please remember a very, tired old lady still grafting and still loving everything you do and say. You keep my head held high when all around are drowning in a sea of chaos called the CS!!!!!!
have a good weekend to you and Dave. I am awaiting your new TV show.
Lots of love Anne (Reading)
p.s. very emotional tonight after traumas at work and how sad when worse things are happening round the world. I really must get a grip – on something or other – probably my husband of 46 years – he deserves a medal – hope you have a smile over my silly blog and all the other lovely followers – good weekend to one and all.
Sending a big hug Anne have a lovley weekend crafting xxx
Can I borrow your pen I'm coming to ….close that court door Anne have a wee gass o something and chill…xx
Count me in, Barbara will have to be like the tennis players at the end of a match signing as she walks down the line! XX
Great idea, and well done to you and the team getting it sorted in a week! Susan x
Hi Barbara

Hi Barb
I saw this yesterday on the Claritystamp website and 'ummed and ahhed' a bit, but wasn't sure, but your pix today have sold it – just ordered one (which my lovely husband will be giving me for my birthday on 11 November – by the way isn't Dave's birthday in November? So Happy Birthday to him for whenever it is!!)
Looking forward to your shows this weekend.
Love
Maggie

Hello Barb, absolutely fantastic, shouldn't be spending anything at the moment, but am going to order it and hubby can pack it away as part of my Christmas present. Thank you to the whole team involved in producing it. Take care all. Bx
