Greetings from a Colorful California. We are having a very productive time over here at the biggest craft trade show in the world and I am working on the same stand as the lovely Ken Oliver – a name you will have heard of from my various blog posts. Ken Oliver is the creator of the little bottles of magic powder called Color Burst and also The Best Ever Craft Mat. So I thought that today’s post should be about…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! It’s 6am and I thought I’d catch up with you before the show. Yesterday went swimmingly – really well. After all those fears and worries about it! Lots of interest, plenty of orders. the Groovi went down an absolute storm, so tomorrow I will go back!! I met lots of very genuinely interested and hands on women. A few suits looking to make a quick buck out of us, but the creatives were there in…
Hi there! Greetings from California. The sun was out today. But we are here to work, so we really can’t go far. Don’t think for a minute that this is a glamorous break. The sky may be blue, but traipsing up and down a busy 5-lane road (that’s a mere 10 lanes from one side of the boulevard to the other) through a concrete hotel jungle with varying degrees of pomp to and from the Convention Centre certainly isn’t my idea…
Hi there! Can you believe it!! 4 minutes before the clock strikes 12 and I turn into a pumpkin!!! This 8 hour time difference won’t beat me though! I’ll be back in a minute!!! Sorry about that! wanted to post before midnight your time. We went for a late lunch, and then I realised that I had left it way too late for my daily blog! Found a great restaurant though. Bubba Gumps Shrimp Factory. Not only was the food…
Hi there! Greetings from a hotel in LA! The flight was long but good. When it comes to Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson certainly has it. The food, the service, the entertainment. All brilliant. Unfortunately, even he can’t control the weather (yet) and the turbulence about an hour before we landed was pretty bad. You know how it is, when one person pukes, it has a domino effect, and suddenly there were all sorts of gagging retching and burping noises going…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in today. Dave and I will be up in the air as you read this, headed out to the CHA, Anaheim, Los Angeles We went last year too, when we were involved in the Create & Craft US TV launch. Dave and Barb at the CHA Even got out to see our mate, Donald. Err, no! Not Trump! The friendly one! While we were there, we made friends with another outfit, Ken Oliver and Product Performers….
Hi there! Good of you to pop in. I have been soooo tired today! Way too old for all that winging it and thinking on my feet ! But the first of our monthly One Day Specials certainly went down a storm yesterday on HOCHANDA, our new Arty TV Home. Thank you for supporting, watching, cheering and buying. Here’s the one I did in the final hour, when we had nothing left to sell, except some Claritycard, some Speedball Brayers, …
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Just in between TV Shows, so thought I would have a quick chat to you, and upload this morning’s demo. It really is a very simple one, using our new and very delightful Wee Houses and Wee Shops. (You can buy them as individual stamp sets or combined with our stamp storage system Special Offer £27.98) Let’s take a selection of the Wee Houses and Wee Shops which are already mounted on our Mini Mounts, a piece…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. it’s been a full on Clarity Experience over at Hochanda today! All tucked in and ready for more tomorrow. 9am 12noon 4pm and 7pm. This is the plan every month, so I this Monday One Day Special idea goes well! Here is one of the demos I did today. I was really struggling to get going in the first hour! Just couldn’t get in the groove, if you’ll pardon the pun. Letterbox from the Starter…
