#ClarityOpenDayFestival (Giveaway #3)
Hi there
Well, the room is filling up now, and there is a lot of chirping, laughter and a friendly buzz. So many familiar faces. Let me introduce you to Elizabeth…
You may have met this young lady, Elizabeth Finch. And if you haven’t you will certainly have heard me quote her many MANY times in the SHAC SHAC. I introduced her on the blog here a couple of years ago…
She made a big impression on me when I met her, and I think of her often. I shall never forget how excited she was to have discovered the Groovi System. This is what she said:
“It’s the first time I can craft something, make something without any help. The Groovi Plate Mate holds the plate in place and the parchment is attached with Groovi tabs – I LOVE GROOVI TABS! – I can set the work in front of me on my table here, and get in the groove – and I’m away!!”
In all my years it never even entered my head to not be able to do something without help, without assistance, without somebody holding something for me. Elizabeth opened my eyes to that world, and gave me a fresh kind of gratitude, a gratitude for things I didn’t even realise I should be grateful for, like the ability to hold a pen and paper.
She is very clever and very eloquent too. Here’s what she added…
“The more you do, the better you get. And the better you get, the more you want to do!” Boom.
So, on that succinct and oh so true note, let’s have our last Giveaway of Day 1!
How about a Deluxe Groovi Starter Kit? The very same Starter Kit that Elizabeth uses?

Clever is what groovi is. I had tried parchment years ago when I bought what I thought was a kit, but it wasn’t really, and was disappointed that it seemedthere was no one near to give classes.
Thankful that Clarity has groovi as it was the only craft I could do with my other hand when I broke my shoulder a few years ago.
Think I’ll make a word up!!!
