I’m going back to school…

Hi there.

Thanks for popping in. Still pedalling away with Paul, getting geared up for the HOCHANDA Sunday 2-4pm TV show. There’s quite a buzz around the building. On Sunday I shall be launching something many of you have been waiting for….

A Craftalongabarbie session the following month! Remember, back in the day, I used to do a live Classroom show on telly? And many of you used to craftalong at home? It was a huge success. So much so, that HOCHANDA have planned a 2-hour Craftalong Class on the SECOND OR THIRD SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH, between 2pm and 4pm. It won’t always be Clarity, but I have the honour of launching the premiere show, and getting the ball rolling.

It’s one thing to watch, it’s an entirely different thing to craft along. I have kept it straightforward and very achievable, and don’t worry – I’ll go very slowly, and let you keep up comfortably. There’s next to no selling on the day, you see. All that is done beforehand, so you’ve got the gear to join in on the day! And HOCHANDA have assured me that they will build a library of the monthly sessions, so that you can refer back to them, too.

SO. Tune in on Sunday, to see what you need to buy, and what you need to bring to the party between then and February 17th. Most of you will have the bits and bobs; you just need the new design bundle we’ve rustled up for the Big Day. It will be brilliant. I’m already excited to get that old hat on again.

There’ll also be plenty of cool tricks and tips on Sunday, using other new designs. Something for everyone. Whether you’re a stamper, a Groover, a stenciller or a paper cutter, I think you’ll enjoy what’s coming up. First show of the year, and I’m raring to go! Nothing like a break for fanning my enthusiasm! And what I do on Sunday will set you in good stead for the Craftalong Class! So pay attention!!!

Love & Hugs,

Barb

  4. That’s brilliant news, especially as Hochanda are going to build a library of the craftalong with Barb shows so that we can refer back to them. Do miss the classroom shows you used to do. I think I have them on dvds or at least some of them and of course all the Dvd’s you’ve made. It’s great to go back to them now and again.xxx

    Sounds as if things are going to be really busy & exciting at Clarity Towers, just remember to have your ”me” time with Dave & your pottery class. Your team will keep the wheels turning for you.

  9. Well what better way to start 2019! I learnt so much from these lessons and have really missed them. Can’t wait!!

  10. Loved those classroom shows didn’t always craft along straight away would watch you do it then, watch again and craft along second time watching great fun then other ideas would come from what you did. So looking forward to playing along again. Try to get some you time before Sunday I’m confused on what day it is still keep thinking today is Friday even though all back to normal here. Looking forward to booking on retreat again Joy xx

  16. Whoop whoop chicken soup🤗🤸🤗🤸🤗🤸
    I’ve no idea what’s happening as I must have joined the clarity gang much later than everyone else, but it all sounds very exciting so I’ll blindly join in with the celebration by running round the room, madly waving my arms in the air. 👋🎉👋🎉
    Hubby now thinks I’m having one of my “women of a certain age” moments!😌
    Does this mean I need to move my She Cave nearer the TV or get a TV fitted in my She Cave? Hmmmm🤔

      1. Okeydoke, thanks Lynne……I’m on it…..I can now do my second fave thing and rearrange my craft stash to make room for it. YiPpEeDiPeEdOoDaRr.

    Happy New year.

  18. I will be with Samuel on Sunday but I am going to see if we can watch you from his house. If you get a chance, please say hi to him. It will be fun to see his face. We watch you at home but he has never seen you on the telly while he’s a college xx

  19. I so enjoyed the classroom shows, & was very disappointed when they stopped so I am looking forward to seeing what you bring us
