Hi there, Thanks again for popping in today. We escaped early tonight; got out of the Frankfurt Messe before Show Breakdown. We had a very successful few days, met all the people on our list, shook hands with all the people we wanted to shake hands with. Sourced all the products we went a-looking for – and then some! Boy oh boy, have we got some great stuff in the pipeline. The highlight for me personally, the absolute highlight of…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. 3 down, and 1 to go. One more day at the Frankfurt Messe, and we can come home. Although I had best find a supermarket and make sure I get the items on my mum’s shopping list before said departure – or I might as well not bother coming home!! I still chuckle remembering Mum and myself in Baden Baden wheeling the shopping trolleys through the cobbled streets and straight into the hotel, into…
Heidihi! Wie geht’s? Two down, two to go here in the Fatherland. Frankfurt Messe was very busy and productive today. Here’s we see Churchie trying to break through the language barrier. You can tell from the look on the bloke’s face opposite that Paul definitely has him gripped…. Meanwhile, Dave and I posed a bit, spoke to a great number of distributors from all over the world, and generally did some wheelin n dealin. All very positive and actually very…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Great day in Frankfurt. Our Dutch distributors are such nice guys; it was a real delight to work with them today. They have an amazing piece of kit on the stand too, which is nothing to do with what we do, but you need it – you definitely do! I do, and I don’t really do dies!! We will place the order tomorrow. Found other great, exciting products to complement Claritystamps, Groovi, Pergamano. We came with a shopping…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been a long day. Strenuous driving down to Frankfurt. Actually Dave drove the whole way, but I can tell you, being a navigator on the Autobahn in an Engish car is no picnic! When you’re doing 130,140, 150 km per hour, and some maniac in a BMW or Merc whistles past you at the speed of light, it’s not much fun. Especially when Dave has this incessant urge to wander to the left. S T R…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! I am writing really fast, because we are driving to Frankfurt at 4 in the morning, and well. Ask me if I’ve packed yet! But before we head off to the very exciting Paperworld Trade Show, I thought I would showcase two rather fabulous brand new Groovi plates before I go. Not been seen anywhere else. Not been sold anywhere else. YOU FIRST!! First, the Key to my Heart plate. Also available as a…
Hi there, How goes it? I must say, it is VERY cold here today in Kent. You know the old saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy? Well, I concur that this is true in Jill’s case, too. Me being Jill, that is. I guess the new-speak jingle is Work-Life balance, and all that jazz. As you know, we’ve been going like the clappers here at Clarity for many, many months. Nay! Years !!! And as…
Hi there Thanks for popping in this sunny Tuesday! It’s all go here. Yesterday when I made the Family Tree card, using the Northern Lights Paper Pad and the Word Chain ABC, I claimed that the Alphabet set was in the Member’s half-price sale, which is still running until the end of January. Figured out late in the evening that it wasn’t, so got it added this morning! Instead of £50 it’s £25! Then my ‘O’ level Maths lightbulb lightened…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Late blog this evening. Been busy, walking around the office! Fitbit fully charged and tucked in my bra, and off I go! The guys at work definitely thought I was losing it when I started pacing round the long boardroom table whilst we were having our Monday morning pre-production meeting! And when I finally sat down but kept moving my upper torso to simulate walking, they didn’t know where to look! Hahahaha! Joking aside,…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Many of you will already have heard the sad sad news that our darling Jayne passed away yesterday evening. What a terrible loss. I guess there is some comfort in knowing that she is no longer in pain, but how my heart aches for her daughter and husband. It’s so blimming final, isn’t it. There’s no negotiating with Death. It takes you, and you are gone. Hopefully to a better place. I have to…
