Firing up the blog again

Firing up the blog again

Hi there

Last day of September. Had the whole of September off work. Am just sitting in front of a log fire with Dave, watching Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse Gone Fishing. And I have to say, Life is good. Those two blokes really show you how to relish the simple things in life. Such brilliant English humour.
Had a busy day at Clarity. Enjoyed hanging out with Paul and Jazz and Jim and Jilly. Got loads of planning done. I do love my team x

Tomorrow I‘m going to spend the day with Mum. It‘ll be good to catch up with her. I‘ve got so much to tell her about! The wedding in California, for starters! Earlier I spent a happy evening, writing October‘s newsletter, picking out photos to share.
Are you in one of our Clarity Clubs? They‘re very good value for money. Maybe check them out on our website? To be straight with you, our Club members are our most cherished customers. It is through their subscriptions that we keep Clarity going. Our monthly clubs, stamp stencil and Groovi, are the glue that holds our little company together.

Join today, for Clarity!!

And tomorrow, the first day of October, I shall fire up this ere blog again. I‘ve enjoyed a month off, but I‘m actually looking forward to getting into art and thoughts and banter with you.

subscribe to the blog, and we‘ll send you the link every day, or every time I write a blog xx

Love always,

Barb

  7. Welcome back, sounds as if the wedding was a great day/s and it will be good to hear more about it when we’re back in the Shac. We love the fishing programme, so relaxing and love the dog ! They are a great pair together and such a refreshing watch too.

    Bit stressful here at the moment with Mikey cat but we’ll get there. I didn’t think I’d be bringing him home today but he’s had another of his 9 lives and, at 18, he can’t have many left. CT scan on his jaw tomorrow and then hopefully an op to put it right. His whole routine is out of sync at the moment so I hope we can get him back. At 18 he shoudn’t be getting into these scrapes any more but he doesn’t listen.
    Welcome back, we’ve missed you and Dave xxx
    P.s. I spent my voucher today, that Paul gave as an extra giveaway while you were away !

  15. Welcome back and looking forward to hearing all about the wedding. The pics you showed us are wonderful and your outfit was lovely and Alex looked gorgeous. Hope you had a lovely day with your Mum. X

  16. Welcome home. So glad to have you back safe & well. Looking forward to reading your blog again and the Shac of course xxx

  17. Glad you enjoyed your time off and looking forward to hearing all about the wedding and also what exciting things you have planned…..

    I will enjoy seeing my club goodies when I get back home. We are in Woolacombe, staying in a lovely apartment with a glorious view of the beach. It’s a beautiful place with lots of lovely walks and of course a wonderful long beach to paddle in! Also tea rooms and an ice cream shop 🍦xx

  18. Welcome back Barb and Dave, I am sure there is plenty to share with your Mum, so have a lovely day with her today. Looking forward to hearing all about the wedding and what you got up to in the US. Take care everyone, it is turning a bit cold. Bx

  19. Welcome back Barbara,

    I’m so glad you and Dave got a well earned break and the photos you posted on Facebook were absolutely beautiful. So looking forward to hearing all about it in the shac. I started watching the shac from the beginning again and have managed to get through 105 shows, all absolutely brilliant. It was strange re-visiting all the thoughts, feelings and doubts we had back then when everything we were being told and advised were so confusing. I’ve also kept abreast of all the brilliant shows that have been on Create and Craft. Thank you all so much for keeping me company this past month. See you Monday, can’t wait.

  20. Welcome back. I’m glad you had a good long break away and you are happy to be back and going to see your Mum. Looking forward to your lovely blogs once more.

  21. Welcome back. Sounds like you and Dave had a great time in the US. Unfortunately I don’t do Facebook and haven’t seen the wedding photos so I hope you will be putting them on this ‘ere blog.
    Have a great day today with your Mum, I am sure she will be delighted to have you back and to catch up on all your news.
    I love receiving the club package earlier in the month now
    and reading the newsletter. Will be renewing for next year in December.
    Can’t wait to see what you have planned for us in the next few months. I am sure you have great things in the offing for us to enjoy.

  22. Welcome back, and so pleased you had such a great time at Mark and Alex’s wedding. I have been sorting my old club stamps, stencils and dies, trying to make some space and order in my craft room! I need to get back to crafting, but my double vision problem is causing some issues. The consultant has told me that my brain will start to ignore it over time – hope so as it’s driving me mad! x

  23. Welcome back. So glad you enjoyed your time off and that the wedding went well. I look forward to seeing more photos. Have a great day with Mum and I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us. xxx

  24. Welcome back. Glad you had a good time and all went well. The photos you sent over were lovely. Hope your Mum is well.
