Dave, Donny Michael AND Marc in my bedroom at the same time..

Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well I want to take you back to my teenage years. I was having a really good chat with lovely Lisa at work today,  and this just came up, because we were talking about wallpaper of all things! Remember when we were teenagers, we used to get a magazine every month which had a life size pullout pin-up of some super star or other. I even remember the…

FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS! And a Caption WInner…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Busy but enjoyable day here. Rosie has been down here for a couple of days, and we have been drinking lots of tea and making loads of plans! We are certainly making progress in many different areas. One of the things that happens every time there is a TV show is we send out an email to all those customers of ours who have signed up to receive our emails. Now what you may…

Light a Candle! Calm down!

Light a Candle! Calm down!

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday’s blog is where we talk about matters of the head and heart, don’t we? Well, we had best leave my head out of it today, because it’s wild in there! Not a place you want to enter alone, that’s for sure! Not without a hardhat! Don’t ask. This too shall pass. There’s no point in keep talking about what is getting under your skin, to be honest. You just keep rehashing it and…

A little Perga-bling goes a long way!

A little Perga-bling goes a long way!

Hi there, Having a day off today, to unpack and regroup after a very hectic and busy run up to the TV shows. They are strenuous, you know. Not complaining though; gratitude abounds. I just know now to slow down, take my foot off the pedal periodically, and chillax. So here’s a quickie step by step demo which I did in hour 1 of the One Day Special, using the Snow Globe – one of the new outline stamps. Stamp the…

Hi there. Thank you so much for popping in,  and thank you for joining Tina, Paul and myself on HOCHANDA this weekend!We had a great time!

Going Global with the ODS

Hi there. Thank you so much for popping in, and for watching us on HOCHANDA TV if you did. You know, you can always watch LIVE on their website on HOCHANDA.COM You don’t even need a television! Just the internet and a PC or a phone or an Ipad. All clever stuff, innit… So here’s the Globe art I did at 6. How about a quick photo step by step recap? Paul is showing off the candles and the Groovi Nested…

The End of an Era.

The End of an Era.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Our dear old pear tree fell down in the storm the other night. Keeled over, and finally gave up trying to stay standing. Fortunately it fell away from the house, in the opposite direction. Gutted. It may only be an ancient old pear tree,  and to be honest, the pears weren’t even very nice, but it was also home to most of the menagerie in our garden! All the birds are homeless now! Can…

Shelagh Metselaar and a Moment in Blue

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We’ve been prepping for the Sunday/Monday TV Shows all day. I do love ticking those boxes! The new Christmas Outline Stamps are delightful to work with; I was especially pleased with the Snow Globe demo I did for the One Day Speical 6pm launch on Sunday. It’s all about making the snowglobe look round…. Anyway, I have some very VERY good news. For years I have been asking the hugely unique and talented Shelagh Metselaar…

A NEW IDEA FOR A COMPETITION !

A NEW IDEA FOR A COMPETITION !

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. We are having a major clean out and mop up here,  both at Clarity Towers and at home. There’s nothing quite like a declutter, to clear the mind, is there? Filing, sorting and rejigging certainly feels quite liberating. We have got so much going on at work and in the pipeline! Forward planning, expanding, trying to keep it all under control, keep it real, stay on top of cashflow and keep everybody at Clarity…
