Hi there

Thanks for popping in. Bags packed, demos prepped, car filled to the gunnels – and we’re off! Paul and I are heading up to Peterborough to the TV studios as you read this, to set up the set for a worldwide launch. I’m both excited and apprehensive about this one. Perhaps because it’s my artwork, (and one always wonders whether one’s artwork will be well received, doesn’t one), perhaps because I always get nervous before TV – even after all these years. But be that all as it may, this evening at 6pm, we will be launching a brand new floral collection of stamps and Groovi plates. Big shout out to the Clarity team, for all the help in making, cleaning, packing, sample making. So much goes into these new launch shows – no wonder I’m a bit nervous! It’s my job to explain how it all works!

Debbie Shore and I will be working together – I do love working with Debbie. She is such a good presenter – and a friend actually. We have known each other for many years; I like her calm, inquisitive style a lot. According to the schedule, we’re together for all four hours, which is great. 6pm and 9pm this evening. 10am and 2pm tomorrow.

Why is Paul always with me? Well, because he helps me massively. To start with, he does the driving. Then he helps cart all the gear from the car. Then he helps me set up. He also keeps me calm. Then, when the show starts, he bounces between the studio and the gallery, making sure there is stock to carry the show. This allows me to focus on what I am doing, and not worry about the numbers and figures. Before lockdown, I used to do it alone, and on occasion I still do. But it’s so much easier with Paul there, smoother. Since my illness last year, we all decided that I would continue to do the TV shows, but with help. He’s my friend, and he gets me.

Enough woffle! Let’s show you what the stamps and Groovi plates look like! They are two-way overlays – my FAVOURITES !

Barbara’s Floral Crescents & Panels 2 Way Overlay Stamp Collection with Mega Mounts

Also available in Groovi

Inspiration from the Design Team. What a gallery! You always know when you’ve hit a sweet spot with designs, when the art samples come pouring in from the Creative Team….

Anyway. Time to hit the road, Jack. Who’s Jack? ? No more room in the car mate. You couldn’t squeeze another ink pad in there!

Oh! And before I forget, we’re giving away a free gift with every purchase. One per customer on Create & Craft. Tune in and bag a treat at 6pm!

Love always
