Aloha 2020 !

Aloha 2020 !

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. In fact, thank you for popping in most days, as you do. I appreciate you, and even though you may not comment, I know you are there – and that’s a good thing. Remember when I was under attack back in June for ostensibly plagiarising artwork? That was a very low point for me, and without wanting to relive the whole headstorm, what I remember was the overwhelming show of support from friends and…

More?!? More?!?

More?!? More?!?

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Been doing even MORE prep for telly. Even though I knew yesterday that I had enough demos for the new Doodleology stampsets to easily cover the 2 hours, I thought I’d incorporate the new Texture Stamps too, because lovely Pam Kershaw mentioned that yesterday. Six hours later, and at least 5 arty demos later, I really need to move on! But these stamps are so cool! Thing is, even if I don’t get to…

A room with a view..

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I got lost in my little world of telly prep today. So far I’ve done far more than we’ll ever have time for in 2 hours! And there’s so much more to explain and suggest! Mmm… this will require some more thought; maybe I can blog a few little tricks & ideas. Cherry’s new stamps are insanely versatile! Even something as simple as stamping on Designer paper, embossing and cutting out looks fab! And…

And now for something completely different….

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today has been a good day. I looked at the calendar, realised that this time next week it’s TV WEEKEND again, and decided to get ahead of the game. With all the new building plans on the horizon, I’ll certainly feel better in myself if I’ve got a few demos prepped! Mind you, this is no hardship at all at all with these new designs! We are certainly launching 2020 with a wonderful collection…

My alarm bells are ringing…

My alarm bells are ringing…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Had a little moment today. Went to the new building with Paul to make a plan, opened a secret corridor – and set the main alarm off ! The good news is that the system really works well; the bad news is we didn’t know the password to switch it off! And IT IS LOUD!!! So while Paul tried every possible number combination and waved the little fob around in front of the sensor…

Boxing Day

Boxing Day

Hi there, Happy Boxing Day! I hope your holidays have been pleasant? Had Dave’s family over today. It was lovely. Little children – no, actually – unicorns in the house. How lovely was that?! Prepared a big old bowl of German Potato Salad, served up with – yep, you guessed it – T U R K E Y ! Dee-lish-us!! And that brings the Christmas festivities to a close in our home for another year. Grace is off back to…

Christmas Day

Christmas Day

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Happy Christmas! Before the family congregates round the big table for breakfast, and in between peeling spuds and prepping pigs in blankets for Christmas lunch later, I thought I would just take myself off for 5 minutes, to wish you all the very, very best. Christmas is a funny old time of year. Some are surrounded by family and friends, some are not. Some are partying and celebrating, some are not. Some are poodling…

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Writing extra fast here, because the family is due to land at 3pm. Was doing really well, at Waitrose at 7.30 this morning, got all the last minute bits, loaded the fridge – there’s enough to feed an army just on the top shelf! Peeled the spuds. laid the table nicely for this evening, and even had time to verbally choke a DHL rep for screwing up the parcel which was intended for our…

Christmas Clarity Party

Christmas Clarity Party

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Home late. Been partying! Wonderful Christmas lunch at the Spa, with games and singing and all sorts. It was a perfect way to end this year: surrounded by the Clarity team and the Grays. A few important people were missing, which was a pity. Debby unwell, Andy unwell, Jeannine and Laurent at home because Alain was coming home for Christmas today. And our Mark not able to make it home for Christmas this year…

The world is your Oyster…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. We took the bus to Brighton and back today. Blue skies, lovely last minute shopping in the Lanes. It was busy but brilliant. As was yesterday evening, when we spent a rre evening in the company of Sir Ian McKellen. What a stupendous performance! He was incredible! We laughed, we cheered, we sang, we cried, we yelled – he had us right there, in the palm of his hand. What a…
