Christmas ?! Really????
Hi there. Or should I say Ho Ho Ho?!
Thanks for popping in. Yep, you guessed it. Tis the Season to be jolly on the Craft Store TV Channel this weekend! I know, I know. Christmas in July? Really? But that’s what we crafters do! Many of us start making our Christmas Cards in the summer!
We had our Christmas meeting at work back in April! Somebody at the meeting suggested that The 12 Days of Christmas might be a lovely theme. I then remembered that MANY years ago – back when I drew the Nursery Rhyme Alphabet, I also drew The 12 Days of Christmas!
So we dug deep, and aren’t I glad that in true crafting spirit – I NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!!!
Look at these old drawings! And even more astounding, look at the date!
So it is with great pleasure indeed, that I shall be launching a glorious set of Christmas Number stamps on the CraftStore on Sunday 2-4pm AND the same artwork in a Groovi plate for all our parching friends.
12 Days of Christmas – Stamp Set, complete with words.
12 Days of Christmas – Groovi
Then we decided that the Nursery Rhyme ABC is actually also brilliant for Christmas- and has a life AFTER the 24th December!
The Groovi Nursery Rhyme ABC has been around for a couple of years, BUT.
This Sunday will be the first time we have ever showcased the ABC STAMPS on TV – and at a superb price. We have also added boxes to the mix… very cool indeed.

There’s also a little ii-Book colouring book, which contains the key to the nursery rhymes -just in case you don’t recognise the images….

And last but not least, the ABC Nursery Rhyme Découpage Kit, complete with cutting instructions, which is pretty epic. I will take the framed piece up to the Studios to show you properly on Sunday.

This masterpiece was cut for us by a very clever lady, Jean Warris. She made 5 of these back in the day – one for each of her Grandchildren. Now isn’t that something!
Now you may wonder what a Nursery Rhyme ABC has to do with Christmas. Well, let me show you a couple of old photos of a sign I made to dress a Craft Show Stand in San José…
Certainly looks Christmassy to me!!
See you Sunday!
Love always

Looking forward to the launch on Sunday. Every year I tell myself to start early but…..
Take care, keep safe everyone.
I love those plates I want, want, want, NOW Lol
Loving the ideas on the cards will be watching on Sunday.
Wow those drawings are fabulous love them xx cannot wait for the stamps and plates will be a definite buy xx also the nursery rhyme letter just beautiful xx
Will be watching xx
I love the look of these Groovi plates. I’m one of those people who make Christmas cards all year long, so something new is great. Thank you xx
At last I might remember all 12 of the days (because I’m a visual girl)!
I’ll see how well off I am.
Hope you are all well.
Love

Wow, such an array of lovely goodies. You are soooooo talented x
Love the 12 days of Christmas especially the 5 gold rings ! I’ve already got the Groovi alphabet so there’s a saving already ! Looking forward to the shows. X
The Pergaliners arrived today. Thank you.
I bought the Nursery Rhyme alphabet when it was first launched and it has been well used for many projects..
The amount of work that went into making that huge display is mind-boggleing!!! Wow.
The 12 days, both stamps and Groovi, will definitely jump in my basket on Sunday. I dug out a large canvas from my art gear today and laid out some stamp board shapes and when the stamps arrive I will be up and running. I want to make a display to be auctioned for the childrens hospice. If I can finish the Nursery Rhyme one too that will be a result. I do like a challenge!!!!!
Looking forward to Sunday.
Stay safe. 🍒
Hi Barb,
Love the twelve days pictures – you are one talented lady! Really looking forward to the shows on Sunday although whether I’ll be able to buy this weekend is another matter having spent an absolute fortune on craft in the last couple of weeks!!! I could always live on jam and bread I suppose! Love and hugs, Alison xx
I do love your artwork Barb – delightful. See you on Sunday…..
