GOOD NEWS!!! WE WON!!!
Hi there.
Grace called me just now.
“Have you read your emails Mum?”
“No, not this afternoon. I’ve been doing artwork. What’s up?”
“Do it now.”
And guess what it said…
WINNER! You’re officially a winner in the Craft Industry Awards
Drumroll…..
1 . Craft Personality of the Year
2. Best Workshops
3. Runner up – Best Stamping Brand.
Woohoo!! So excited! Called Dave straightaway, then told the team. Can’t wait for Mum to wake up from her afternoon nap, so I can tell her. She will be so chuffed.
Honestly – and you will understand this 100% – this acknowledgement that we’re not only still in the game, but also at the top of our game, could not have come at a better time. With all the upheaval in the craft industry at the moment, all the posturing, pulling and pushing since C&C folded, at Clarity we have just stayed in our lane and kept going. Our lovely loyal customers have dug deep to help us, and we know that these three awards are a direct result of their box-ticking votes. So many, many thanks for making it happen.
I’m smiling like a Cheshire cat here! I know it’s not the Oscars, I know it’s not the Grammys. But in our arty craft world, which is being dragged through very challenging times right now, this recognition means so so much.
Right. Back down to earth.
Who’s joining me for this evening’s Craft Along? It’ll be a Groovi one, for sure! Bring your scissors! We’re making that coaster. It is bound to take a few hours, but I’m so happy to hang out with you and make a little coaster-gift. If you want the list of what we’ll be using, so you can get ready, go HERE

I’m going to be using the Groovi Go! Starter Kit stamps, basically. So if you have that little Starter kit, bring it to the party too xxx Either way, we’ll have a good parchment session together. And it’s FREE.
Love always
Barb x x x

Quiz starts up again tonight so I’ll have to catch up. It would be nice to get some use from Groovi Go! as it was my first Groovi purchase but I quickly realized that it didn’t give me what I needed and so hasn’t been used.

Congratulations to all the Clarity Team you are all brilliant, you have been through a dreadful time and this award is confirmation of just how great and well thought of you all are. Love the way you have evolved , I have followed Clarity since those early heady days of ‘In the Classroom’ and still have those stamps and samples even a Clarity Badge.
Looking forward to tonight’s Craftalong got all my kit ready just hope I can keep up with you. A lovely warm up for the new RicheLieu plates that you’ve teased us with, just know they are going to be special.
Keep doing what you are doing it’s what we love.❤️

Everyone at Clarity does so much extra for the customers continuously.

Many Congratulations on your success and for keeping Me S_A_N_E_ Well Done Everybody!!! XX
Congratulations! Well deserved. Have read most of the comments and the sentiment is WELL DONE.
Congratulations. You (and your brand) really are a worthy winner.
What makes winning these awards so special is that they are not decided by a committee but, truly mean something, as they are the result of the number of votes cast from the people who love who you are, love what you do and love how you make them feel.
Now, bottle how you feel at this moment, and take a sip whenever those pesky doubts creep in.
Well done.
Congratulations and Well Done to you all!
