Doors are closing …
Hi there
Sorry to be so cryptic! But I did want to attract your attention! The doors are closing on a couple of things ! Firstly, we were in the States when the doors opened for the 2024 Craft Award Nominations, so we haven’t asked you until now to consider putting a tick next to Clarity! Sorry. But here we are now, giving you the link – because the doors close on Tuesday!! Yikes!
https://craftworld.com/cms/craftawards
Here are the categories which might apply to us…
Favourite Die Cutting Brand
-Favourite Stamping Company
-Favourite Craft Brand
-Best Online Store
-Craft Personality of the Year
-Best Workshop/Online Classes
-Independent Retailer of the Year South East
If you have a moment, perhaps you would be so kind as to support us? But only if you think we merit an award! This is not for the final votes; this is just to be nominated!
To be honest, we haven’t banged the Award drum for a few years now. But with the tectonic shifts and changes going on right now, we could do with ANY kind of positive accolade we can muster! Like I said, we may have left it too late. But there ya go. We’ve got ONE DAY to turn it around!
The other thing to bear in mind is our “up-to-50%-off-Sale”, which is in full flow on our website right now. claritystamp.com. Many, many thanks for shopping with us! The doors close at midnight on Monday. We will be trying to get those orders out to you as quickly as possible! Please be patient, and trust us. We will be picking and packing your orders as fast as we can.
So that’s it. Craft Award Nominations and Half-Price Flash Sale.
Back in the SHAC tomorrow morning MONDAY at 10am, to get arty with LOVE. Please do join in – it’s good for the soul. Thursday evening at 7pm too.
Remember, Paul is taking a well deserved break, so no Groovi Tuesday this week. I was going to step in myself, but – as my Dad always used to say – I’ve got to go and see a man about a dog on Tuesday in London!
I am also getting set for this coming Friday on Clarity TV, at Clarity Towers. You will find us on Facebook LIVE and Youtube at 10am and 2pm. It’s the last in the Easy Layout Dies Series: The Christmas one. And something else rather special – I think you will love it. I’m flying solo too ! Never a dull moment…
But now it’s time to get my lippy on, and meet up with Mum and the family for a special Birthday Lunch at the Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells. Great hotel. They support us, and we support them. That’s how business works in my little world.
Have a good Sunday,
Love always

Just going to vote. Sale order in – do I need anything else ? Just been to see my mum, she was brighter today than she has been. Earlier I popped to Aldi and treated myself to an electric clothes drier – just too good to myself !
Have a lovely lunch. I had a birthday one last Sunday and it was lovely.
See you tomorrow xx
Of course I’ll vote as soon as I’ve finished typing this. Sale order in (it would be rude not to) & looking forward to tomorrow morning. Won’t be able to draw as cataract eye is still a bit dodgy, it is amazing though, I can get out of bed without having to put my glasses on for the first time in about 50 years. Felt very stupid though on the first night though in bed putting my hands to my face to take my glasses off which of course weren’t there 😂. Enjoy your special lunch with your family xxx
My to do list today, vote in the craft awards, put in a sale order, cook lunch… and relax! The last couple of days have been very busy with organising a concert at church last night, with my heart in my mouth as ticket sales were not going well, and then they came through the doors, followed by the monthly catering for breakfast church this morning. Forgot to add to the list, catch up on Thursday’s SHAC and I may not get up tomorrow until just before 10.00!
Enjoy your lunch. Xx
Last year there was discussion of nominating Paul Church for an award. Would that be presenter or would another award need to be suggested?
I popped Paul Church in Presenter category. And Clarity Crafts TV as fave Crafts Show🤭
I also added Deborah Wheeler but I can’t remember what category as they may a great team🥳
I voted in all the above categories and also added the embedders as my favourite tool ! I hope everyone gets in quick enough with their votes, you deserve as many awards as there are available !
Voted and placed order😁 and I just need to get the new layout die, I have all the others 💕
Still haven’t unpacked my new goodies from the retreat🤣 one day at a time with lots of Groovi gratitude 💕💕💕
I have put in my vote for you. It’s a pity there are no categories for best design team and best “behind the scenes” team as Clarity would win both hands down.
My sale order is in, and I’m looking forward to the Christmas layout stamps on Friday.
Enjoy your lunch out, l am spending the afternoon trying out the 3D Christmas tree plate which arrived yesterday.
See you in the Shac.

Just going to do my vote, hope you enjoy celebrating your Mum’s birthday with a lovely lunch. Sale order in, x
I’ve voted and ordered in the sale – hopefully you’ll get enough votes to be nominated, then you can rustle up votes for the final! Enjoy your lunch. We’re hunkering down today, as the weather is due to get a bit wild later x
Happy Birthday to your Mum Barbara
I just love all Clarity
products
Love and take care to all
I have put my order in now to vote for Clarity. At times like this we must support the best craft sites. Xx
I have voted.
Your comment about going to see a man about a dog took me back to my first club ride with the Chester Road club at the age of 14 and asking where one of the riders had gone when he made a pit stop, a lot of water has gone under the bridge since then.
Placed my order this morning and will do my vote after this.
Good to hear Paul is taking a break, he deserves it for all he does for you and Clarity. Wish we could vote for him too..
Happy Birthday to your Mum, hope you had a good time with her today.
Stay safe.
Voted, compiling order and looking forward to the SHAC tomorrow.
I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating your mums birthday.
Off to vote now. Hope you enjoyed the birthday meal.
Voting done, fingers crossed we have all enough to get you nominated for several categories, you certainly deserve it for all the input you have put in to the Crafting community. Shopping to be completed, keep checking I haven’t missed anything important !!
Voting done😘😘
Entered the nominations – tick
Will place an order tomorrow, just negotiating the amount…..
Not put my order in yet, will be doing sending it off tomorrow, once I’ve decided which of the stamps on my wish list I want to order! Off now to vote. xx
I HAVE TRIED TO VOTE, BUT CAN`T SEEM TOO FIND WHERE IT ACTUALLY IS AS I HAVE CLICKED ON THE LINK AND NOTHING HAPPENS AS IN THERE IS NO LITTLE HAND FOR ME TO VOTE.
Voted this morning, Barb, and a couple of Sale orders popped in over the weekend! Haven’t been able to respond to your Blog until now as we’ve had a large family gathering as well! My wife’s sister is over from Australia so the family gathered at ours for a lovely tasty roast dinner! Looking forward to seeing the final layout die – it will be nice to complete the set! See you in the SHAC in the morning!
😊
You have my vote all the way and I’ve registered my choices – Fingers, (and everything), crossed for Clarity 😘
I’ve also placed an order,……I’ve never been one to resist temptation! 🥰
Thank you for all you do, and for always being there 💕😘💕🥰💕
Have already placed a large order from the Sale (and may just have to place another before it ends). And now am going over to vote/nominate my favorite craft company. Don’t know if it’s allowed since I’m in the US, but I believe in acting first and then asking permission LOL!
Just voted for Clarity, have a lovely Lunch and hope Paul has alovely holiday.
Best Wishes
Janet Cummings
Voted for you in every category I could. You are and always have been my favourites from products to customer support. Keep it up.
I have just voted, and Order is in from the Sale.
Good luck with the nominations.
Enjoy tomorrow away from work. X
Hi Barabara, I would have ticked all the boxes for sure, but unfortunately no voting allowed for persons living outside the UK. No matter the outcome, we still think Clarity is top-notch.!
