Let’s go back to the beginning….

Hi there!
Thanks for popping in.
Apologies for the late show today;
went to a very special lady’s very special birthday party today,
and only just got in.
Thanks Sheila! And congratulations! xxx
Lately, we’ve been talking about firing up the Clarity YouTube Channel again. Did you know we have a substantial reference library of projects, ideas and inspiration?
Thing is, when Groovi came along, we got SOSOSOSOSOSO busy, that Jim and I had to knock You Tube Tuesday on the head for a while. Two years, in fact!
But now that things are more under control (NOT!)
we are thinking about resurrecting it.
I thought I’d have a quick look at what we actually got up to back then, and I came across the very first YouTube video we recorded. 
What a giggle pot I am.

The videos do improve – I promise!
I’m actually thinking of applying for a job as a news reader.
I reckon I could do it.
The 6 o’clock news might take till midnight to spit out, 
but at least it wouldn’t all be doom and gloom.

Anyway, the random winner of the 
WHICH COLOUR FRAME BLOG CANDY is::::

Jillybean!

Well done Jilly!
A BLACK framed picture and a £20 gift voucher will be winging their way to you next week.

BLACK

We set up for the week’s retreats tomorrow.
Many many friends and guests will be wending their way towards Crowborough over the coming days.
If you are joining us, please have a safe trip.

Love & Hugs,
Barb

  1. Well done Jilly! I'm sure it will take pride of place in your home.
    I haven't watched your You Tubes for ages, I must revisit. New ones would be good, too if you could manage to find the time xx

    1. I just commented then went back to the video….well it's a good job they're not all like that we'd never have learnt anything but would have been kept amused over the weeks!!

  2. Could do with cheering up the news. You would be ace. When I was young I always said I was going to be a newsreader reckon that was why my mum sent me to elocution lessons. Not sure they did much good really. You Tube Tuesdays were brilliant still re visit from time to time. See you on Wednesday. Been baking today, wonder why. X x

  3. Congratulations Jilly on winning the artwork, enjoy spending your voucher. Hope everyone has a fab time on the Retreats, hope we will get to see some of your creations.

  4. Well done, Jilly. I so love this particular video, and keep it on my Kindle for when I need cheering up, together with the shrink plastic ones. It would be great to have more videos every so often, although I know they are a lot of hard work to produce. xxx Maggie

  5. Goodo Jilly, have fun spending! Would love the Youtube videos to restart, especially as I'm one of those who can't get to retreats and open days. Wishing everyone a great time at Crowborough xx

  10. Would be so pleased to see You Tube back again – I need to be able to play and replay time and again, I've found all the original ones so helpful. I also found them amusing – getting a cup of tea while you carried on doing something!

  12. Please DO start your YouTube videos again!! I love them and was wondering why there were no new ones. I was out of the loop and didn't realize Groovi had taken over your life!

  13. I missed this last night as I went to bed early as I had to be up early this morning! I think I saw every hour through the night and woke before my alarm clock!
    Well done to Jillybean! Fab art work to receive!
    I'm just having a cuppa before I make my way down to Crowborough! Exciting or what!

  16. Hi Barb.
    This really cheered me up this morning – I was giggling away with you! I think Dave thought I was going mad! Have to admit that I then watched your clips with Dean and shrink plastic- well tears were running down my face! I loved YouTube Tuesday and it would be great to have it back as long as you don't ruin your health doing it! Can't believe it's been two years either. Congratulations to Jillybean you lucky thing! Love and hugs to all, Alison xxx

  17. Barbara this video should be available on the NHS for people who need a bit of a 'pick-me-up'. Your laugh is so infectious, it cheered up my morning! x

  23. Well done Jilly – I'm sure you'll love your original Barbiart. What a wonderful idea to start up Utube Tuesday again. I just watched back one of the originals last night and had forgotten how fab they were. Have printed off our boarding passes, and we'll see you on Friday – so excited xxx

  24. Tried to watch the video but my broadband is rubbish at the moment, roll on Wednesday when I am having bt infinity installed. I will catch up then. When the engineer came out last week he had never seen a hub as ancient as mine! Well I always thought if it ain't broke don't fix it, but now it's broke.
    Always enjoyed you tube Tuesdays, went back to the shrink plastic one for a good giggle lots of times. xx

  25. So funny , I think I've watched them all over the years . Will go back and this time around will try to learn more .
    It will be awesome if you could do these again .

  26. Ohh my. I needed a good laugh. Your laugh is so infectious I had tears running down my cheeks was going to say my legs but managed it to the loo. Haha.
