Update on Create & Craft and a Real Treat!
Hi there,
I promised to give you any updates and keep you in the loop, so here goes. One of the lovely buyers from Create called me this afternoon, to let me know that there’s been a change of plan, and they won’t be broadcasting LIVE until Friday now.
No comments or opinions please. I said I’d keep you posted, and I have. Let’s just agree that you can’t help the thoughts that come into your head, but you don’t have to voice them all, okay? 😘
Mind you, I did leap into action as soon as I got the call. We have made a load of lovely Groovi plates, and they can’t just sit on the shelf, gathering dust! After yesterday’s resounding success with our Clarity TV effort, we’re getting brave now! And you know how things come together, like magic sometimes? Well, Tina Cox had reached out to me on Sunday, because she’d been to an Eileen Godwin get together on Saturday, and had heard about the TV situation. Well, she knows better than most what that means for us, and she offered to help wherever she could, as a friend. So do you know what? I called her this afternoon, and after some chit chat about weddings and kids, the conversation went like this:
”So Tina, what are you doing this Thursday?”
”Nothing in particular. Why?”
”Would you come to Clarity Towers and do two hours of LIVE Groovi Pergamano TV, showcasing your Parchlet Designs? Paul will be the Presenter, Jim is on Cameras, Sue, Jazz and Pete are manning our UK call centre, Grace and I are online in the Chat.”
Response?
”I’ll be there. What time should I get there? And shall I prep two new cards? One for each hour?”
Woohoo!!! She’s back in the building on Thursday! 10am and 2pm. Very, very good news indeed.
So for all you Groovi parchers out there, I think we’re in for a real TV treat. Tina’s artwork and design is very fresh and unique. If you haven’t seen her in action, you will love her – and you will love her Parchlets! They haven’t been aired for a couple of years, and it will excellent to see the person behind the designs working with them.
Christmas
Square and Round
Mixed Shapes
Just in case you want to go for all of them, or you do classes and want lots of variation, or you want to get into making cards to sell, we’ve also gone ahead and built a super saver bundle of all of them (plus free parchment), which is already available online.
It will also be good to see Tina again. It’s been a while xxx
SO. Just like on Sunday, we are going to do our own LIVE TV show on Facebook and Youtube.
When? This coming Thursday, 10am and 2pm. Special Guest appearance: TINA COX!!! And she does like her sweets and popcorn!
Now that’s something to look forward to. Friends and Clarity folks are circling the wagons, and rallying. Very, very grateful here.
Love always,
Barb x x x

Be a cheap date ! X
Wonderful news. Whatever happens Clarity Can Do It.
well done Tina, and well done the whole team. I’m not a proper parcher and I’m also away from Wednesday for a week but I will think of you and catch up when I’m back. love to you all. xx
Well it’s sad to hear about C&C not doing lives until Friday, but on the plus side, having Tina show us some lovely Groovi is certainly a plus! Looking forward to it!
You and all the staff at Clarity are working so hard, not just to keep your own business afloat but also to keep us all in the loop! I applaud you all and Thankyou! X
Looking forward to seeing you all think all of you and other groups are doing a great job xx
Looking forward to the shows. I will have to watch in catch up as I’m in work.
I have some of the plates but may have to sneak a few more into my stash.
It will be lovely to see Tina again as well xx
Looking forward to watching the shows. I can watch some of the 2 o’clock show and will watch the earlier one on catch up.
Have all the plates, so I’m looking forward to some new ideas for them. Thank you all
I think it’s better having it from Clarity Towers then us living abroad can watch, just being selfish xxxx
Great to see Tina back. I have all the parchlets and it will be good to see them aired again.
Since reading earlier that we will be in the Clarity tv studio again I have cleared my day so I can sit back, enjoy and not worry about anything. Thanks for all you do.
Every cloud has a silver lining. I am sure this show will be as good as the first.
Oh wow that’s awesome news about the lovely Tina coming back. I for one have missed her. Have finally managed to watch Sundays show and it was superb, well done and congratulations to you all. Thank you all for all your hard work it really is appreciated xxx
What wonderful news. I love watching Tina, she is so methodical and creative. Great to have her back and great that the show still goes on. Well done everyone involved at Clarity Tower.
Love & laughter

Welcome back, Tina! I’ll be teaching at 10 but home before 2pm so I’ll see you then . Thank heavens you have the cameras all ready to go. You need a Clarity theme tune – could Dave play something on his guitar?!
Loved the Shac this morning. Remember to breathe this week.
Take care xx
Thrilled to know that Tina is back in the building. My favourite designer.
Great news for Clarity TV; no stopping you now, it’s the way forward.
Clarity is the best, but somehow manages to just keep getting better! I don’t know how you all keep doing it. Barbara and all her team are great and their enthusiasm, dedication and passion for crafting never wanes. Your show from Clarity Towers was great yesterday, and now we have the lovely Tina to look forward to on Thursday. Thank you for your dedication and giving your all to everything you do. Look after yourselves. Pam xx
Brilliant news that Tina is back on our screens with her magic demos and inspiring designs! And we get another super episode of Clarity TV, with Paul on presenter duties and the rest of awesome Team Clarity making it all run so smoothly! I shall get in extra chocolate and cake in preparation for two magic hours of parching with Tina!
thanks for update. Good to see Tina back x
Lovely to have Tina back. Love her parchlets, can’t watch life on Thursday as got medical appointment but will be catching up afterwards. Xx
Thank you for passing on the info asap, not something you wanted to hear from C&C but thanks to Tina not a problem for too long. It will be great to see Tina & Paul showcasing the parchlets & some new ideas.
Great teamwork again !!
Hi Barbara
Thanks for the update. I have to admit I don’t watch C&C reserve all my spare time for Clarity. So look forward too watching Tina on Thursday. It’s at times like this that you know who your friends are.
Love
Ruth & Jackie xx
Thank you for the update Barbara, it’s much appreciated. Hope Thursday shows go well and are as much of a hit as Sundays were. Take care, lo e to the team x
Wonderful news to have Tina back with us on Thursday. Looking forward to the Clarity Show and Tina’s demos you really have sprung into action. It’s amazing how you can look back and realise that the past was a rehearsal for the present!
What a lovely surprise, Tina is back. Have missed her. Can’t help thinking that without all those years of the Shac & Groovi Tuesday this would not be possible. Well done & many thanks, all at Clarity. x
What a lovely surprise! I’ll watch at 10.00 and catch up on the 2.00 on Friday. A craftalong Thursday evening and collage on Saturday too. You spoil us Mr. Ambassador ! Xx
Yay, yay, yay. I love Tina’s parchlets and have them all 🤣
It will be lovely to see Tina back what she belongs, amongst her Parchment/Groovi friends.
I’m sorry to hear about Create and Craft, no speculation here. I’m just glad that you have bitten the bullet and ate providing us fans with in house shows. It’s a win win situation as far as I’m concerned – we get to see longer demonstrations without interruptions.
Thank you Team Clarity. You’re the best 😘
Great news, lovely to see Tina back again, Thursday is a work day for me, so will have to catch up on Youtube, which will be a lovely treat. I have most of Tina’s parchlet plates, which are great to use, especially if I need to do a quick card. Thanks for the update. xx
Will be lovely to see Tina again but won’t be able to catch the 10am live as unfortunately I have to go with my sister to the breast cancer clinic as she has just recently been diagnosed. Will be able to watch at 2pm and catch up on the previous show later. Just what the doctor ordered to keep my head from spinning. Have a few of Tinas plates so am eager to get some hints and tips and inspiration xx
Sending love and good energy to you and your sister xxxxx
Wonderful news. Love Tina’s style and art work, xxx look forward to seeing you on Thursday xxx
Whoop! Whoop!
Tina’s back!!!! 😁
You have been greatly missed. It will be such a treat to see your happy face on TV again.
Lots of giggles and ‘Opps-a-daisies’!!!
Can’t wait. Xxxxxx
Wow I can’t wait to see Tina again. I have the beautiful parchlets but not used them for ages it will be great to get inspired again. Thanks Barbara for the update it’s really appreciated. good luck to all at Create and Craft for Friday
It will be great to see Tina again, such a lovely lady. Lots of chocolate goodies at the ready. So looking forward to her demos on your “new” tv channel xx😀😀
Great news indeed! It will be so good to have Tina back. We have missed her a lot! I particularly adore the Christmas parchlets, but they are all so pretty and versatile 💖
How wonderful! I always enjoyed Tina’s shows and have very much missed her. That will be fantastic!
Hurrah for Clarity!!🎉🎈
Where is the chocolate, glitter and sequins……..!
Well as good as your word Barbara the latest on C@C, I have just had a look on Utube and the viewing figures are 3.9K in just over 24hrs, isn`t that something eh!. so I think the Format from Sunday where ever it is done is what people want. Stay Safe. Stay Happy. Stay Healthy. XXX
Amazing news, I love Tina and look forward to seeing her work. Thanks for being you Barbara, and with that awesome team of yours keeping our mojo going, you’re conquering new TV frontiers.
Thank you so much xxx
Thanks for the update Barbara, and welcome back Tina! I’m not a parcher, but her work and designs are just beautiful so everyone is in for a special treat.
Much preferring the in house shows. What a treat to see Tina at Clarity Towers. I will be out at a funeral on Thursday but look forward to catching up later.
it will be wonderful to see Tina again and I am sure with Paul as the presenter she will feel comfortable and at home.
Long may the Clarity tv continue, the vibe from you all is really good which generates to those watching,so a happy 2 hours ahead on Thursday. Well done all.
I have missed seeing Tina on TV , so this is great news!!!
Hi Barb, thanks for the update, and thanks for organizing another live crafty session with the Amazing Tina Cox. I bet it is going to be full of inspiration as it always is with her work and designs. Bx
Can’t wait for Thursday and the amazing Tina Cox. She is excellent at tutorials and demo’s.
She is so very easy to follow and her chit chat whilst working makes me smile 😃. Really looking forward to a Groovi day. I have missed her tutorials big time.
