Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I bet you thought you had seen the last of me! Well I thought I would carry on with the blog today, so that Barbara has a chance to catch up with a few things. So, today the lovely Maria brings you another YouTube video tutorial on how to make quick and easy card. I must say that I really, really, really like what Maria has done – I think I need to get…
Hey there. Thanks for popping in. Well yesterday’s Caption Competition sure generated some interest! I had a good chuckle to myself reading the comments! On Wednesday I will get Debs and Lisa to choose a winner so you still have time to enter. Well the naughty step is looking a little empty this morning, so before Barbara and Dave return, I thought I would be naughty one last time! (well for today anyway!) You have been loving the Jayne Nestorenko…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. Well, I am not sure what the weather is like with you today, but down here in Tunbridge Wells, it is torrential rain! What a difference 24hrs can make! So my plans for having a day out and about were put on hold until the nice weather returns. Instead, I attempted a bit of the dreaded “housework” (apologies for the bad language!!!) Well when I say attempted, what I mean is, that I looked…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. It would seem that lots of us have had some rain over the past 24 hours which has helped to bring the temperature down a bit and given the gardens a much needed watering. Despite the rain and the strong breeze down here in Kent, the temperature is still 26 degrees. Apart from our usual TV shows coming up next month, the next big event on the Clarity Calendar is the Leyburn Open Day…
Hi there. Thanks for stopping by. I don’t know about you, but the week has flown by! This time last week we were in full flow of the last 2 days of the Annual Clarity Retreats. One of my favourite projects was the Floral Friends 3-Way Overlay Stamps, as demonstrated by Barbara in this week’s YouTube Tuesday (see below) In today’s Follow Up Friday video, Barbara shows another technique using the 3-Way Overlay Stamps Okay, so it is…

Hi thereThanks for stopping by. With today being Tuesday, it can only mean one thing! It’s time for another YouTube video. This week’s video is a brilliant step-by-step from Barbara showcasing the beautiful Floral Friends 3-Way Overlay Stamps,designed by the super talented Mel Turner. I remember being in the studio when Barbara launched these on Hochanda, the stock flew out the door! They also proved to be super popular with the crafters on the retreat last week. It was amazing…
Hi everyone. Paul here, taking over the blog for a week whilst Barbara and Dave head over to Germany for the BIG event on Wednesday. So while the cats are away (aka Barbara and Dave), the mice will play! (me and the Clarity Crew) Well the mice aren’t actually playing because the Half Price Club Member’s Sale is in full swing at Clarity Towers. The uptake to the sale has been amazing and the mice are running around picking and…
Hi there! Thanks for dropping by on a Sunday. Whilst Paul and Dave are crashing around downstairs, unloading the workshop stuff, let me escape up here and chat to you. What a lovely morning again! The sun is shining – and it’s good to be alive. Am I tired after the Retreat week? Not really. It’s a mindset, isn’t it? If I tell myself I’m cream-crackered today, how will I find the energy to keep going next week in Deutschland?…
