Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I am spending a few days with my Mum, as I do every year before Christmas. Usually, we drive over to Germany and fill the boot with German delicacies, like Sauerkraut and Lebkuchen. But this year, after the events that took place in Paris, both she and I elected to stay at home, and not venture beyond the English frontier. Well, today we were reminiscing about our antics in Baden Baden, when we…
Hi there, Nice of you to drop in! Thought I’d get my geese out today. I love them! Stampset with Mask Thursday’s Blog is always blue, so here’s a blue blog, just for you! Stamp them on Theuva Card – Black Archival’s best today; Cutting them out would be too hard! But Claritymasks have saved the day! Load your brayer with Juniper ink Roll it into the sky. Green at the top ?? I hear you think – But wait…
Hello there, Thanks for popping in on Mindful Wednesday. Today’s where we look at matters of the heart & soul. It’s been a hectic few weeks here, I can tell you! Hectic but good. The Clarity team has rallied, and even though we aren’t filling orders as quickly as some would like, we are going like the clappers – Dave and myself included. This morning at the crack of sparrows, Dave and I were having a cuppa before darting off to…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. For those of you who like to be reminded of what’s what, thought I’d blog another of the demos from the HOCHANDA TV Show last Sunday. It was a little rushed at the end of the show, so I would rather take it from the top slowly…. Here is a super new Thank You framer Stampset. All mounted, fired up, and ready to play. There is actually a Thank You mask included in the…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today has been a long one. Picking, picking, picking, picking, picking. Picking what? PICKING ORDERS!!!! The Clarity Elves, having worked Sunday too, were there at 7 am, as was I, and left at 7pm, as did I. You can’t really expect your team to do it if you’re not up to it, can you. And actually, I really enjoyed just tucking in behind the counter and picking orders, like the good old days, when…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Just a quickie today, showing you a step by step of one of today’s TV demos. Sometimes I worry that you may think that I am neglecting stamping, because of all the Grooviness going on! To be honest, sometimes I worry the same thing! It isn’t going to happen though. Stamps are my passion. Always have been. Always will be. It’s just when you are launching a brand new concept and product, it gobbles…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Everything is set for the HOCHANDA TV Show 2-4pm Sunday. Looking forward to it! Friday’s blog a private peek. It’s all a bit manic here to be honest, so I am going to switch off from work if you don’t mind, and tell you about something completely different. Our Piano. Have I ever told you that we have an old piano? It’s a beaut. I bought it at an auction in San Francisco, when…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s Blog is something blue? Not this week. I decided to finish that mother and child parchment this evening, and for some reason thought that warm reds and yellows would be better. Also, I have been prepping the demos for Sunday’s TV show, and blue has been the preferred couleur all day! Nice though…. So here’s a very simple colouring exercise, using the Distress Markers. Mother & Child Plate Square Nest Plate Line Sentiment…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Can you believe that Christmas is around the corner ?? Have you bought all your pressies? Have you written all your cards? Ask me. Go on, I dare you! Let’s talk about today, it being Mindful Wednesday. Today’s the blog day we look at matters of the heart and soul, and not so much at HOW we make lovely things, but WHY we craft, WHY we like to make things, and the benefits therein, which…
Hi there. Hope your Tuesday is going well? Mine is flying by! We are going to the flicks this evening, to see ‘Lady in a Van’ with Maggie Smith. (Funny English language! I’m not going with Maggie Smith at all! I’m actually going with Dave and my brother Steve!) It has had fantastic reviews, but then would you expect anything else with the wonderful Dame Margaret Nathalie Smith behind the wheel? But before I go, I want to blog about…
