Hello there. Thanks for popping in. I’m late tonight, but that is due largely to a very long day, wading through orders and Groovi Plates with my teamies! We have a plan! Now I have to trust in the good people at Clarity to make and pick and pack and stack and move the orders out ! Suffice it to say that we have never, ever, in the history of the company, known a weekend like it. I just hope…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Have you had a good Sunday? Dave and I went for lunch with our good friend Mel. You know, the cartographer friend who illustrates so many of our stamps stencils and now Groovi plates. Look Mum! Clogs!!! Then she and I and her two dogs, Rosie and Moth, went for a really long walk through the fields and woods. Didn’t stop talking and sharing ideas and bouncing off each other. I love spending time…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Happy to report that the website has calmed down, and business has resumed its normal flow. Well, no. Let me qualify that. It has calmed down to the point where it stops getting so hot it boils over! Calm infers quiet, but that is not the case! Thank you so much for you patience and gracious attitude. The website debacle really was beyond our control; I suppose on a positive note, it gave us…
That is what I think the internet feels like today – meltingggggggggg Just a quick post to fill you in if you haven’t picked it up from Facebook. It would appear that the whole of the world wide web has been having issues today as a result of Black Friday. The team back at base have been running around like headless chickens, trying to make sure that phones and emails are being answered as quickly as possible and dealt with….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Ready for Gray Friday tomorrow? In case you hadn’t heard, at Midnight tonight, we are having a 24-hour sale on ALL THINGS CLARITY. Yep, a third off all Clarity-branded products, including stamps, stencils, brushes, card, canvas, Groovi and storage. The doors open at midnight tonight, and we are all set to welcome you! Jim promised to stay up and make sure the Website doesn’t crash, and Ann & the telephone team will be raring…
Hi there, Welcome to Mindful Wednesday’s Blog! This is the day of the week when we look at LIFE and how we handle it, and where craft comes into play. The more I consciously use art and crafting to switch off my washing machine head, the more effective it is becoming. How about you? Starting to feel the benefits yet? I have always actually resorted to some form of creative release, but without realising what it was doing for me….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Have just had the cleanest Messy Hour ever! So I want to share my little arty intermezzo with you. Now don’t worry; she hasn’t lost the plot. She was getting to grips with the new Mat we have started selling, The Best Ever Mat. It really is excellent! I wanted to see how it reacted to water, and just have a play. I lost my temper at work today. Not without reason, but I…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. How has your day been? Mine has been full on! Talk about back in the driver’s seat! Had a brilliant planning day today; the next TV shows, with a new twist, the “Classroom” in the New Year, A new Groovi Club, a new Groovi DVD, 4 lines of new stamps – very beautiful, in fact, a whole load of new ideas and designs, our Artist’s colouring book, which is oh so close to perfect…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Back in England again. The ferry from Dieppe to Newhaven yesterday evening was pretty rough, I can tell you!! You know you’re in for a caning when the ferry is pulled out of the harbour by a tug, to stop it smashing into the harbour wall. Dave’s theory was to eat something as soon as we boarded. “Always best to go sea-fishing on a full stomach”. Two hours later, he was re-inspecting his beef bourguignon….
Hi there! Last day in France, Bayeux Tapestry this afternoon. Fantastic craftsmanship, although I had to wonder, even with my basic O level needlework why it was called a tapestry when it looked embroidered to me. Didn’t like to ask – after all, if the French want to call it a tapestry, who am I to argue?! So I googled it when we got to the hotel room, to see what the experts say, and here’s what it says: The…
