38 Days to go – A Christmas Tree Sampler!
Ho Ho Ho!
Have you noticed the Christmas Trees are in the Supermarkets now?? Yikes! This is getting serious! I went to Morrisons this morning, cos the cupboard was bare as they say. And there they were. It’s the middle of November for Pete’s sake! (As if Pete cared!)
So on that note, here’s a Groovi Tree Sampler that I drew a while ago. Perfect for Mini Makes Monday! So many different designs on one plate! Nine, in fact!
It’s been a day of rest for me. After the Open Days and the workshop yesterday, I was pretty bushed. But, a lie in and an afternoon nap – and I’m full of beans again!
The Clarity Christmas Celebrations have once again been such a pleasure. The Open Days were just lovely. So many friends of Clarity under one roof. The Demo-Team worked their magic, entertaining and inspiring. The Clarity team looked after everyone, serving drinks and food with a smile. I was able to spend quality time, talking to many of the Clarity family, which is always special for me.
Like dear Ken Kilminster said, “The products and ideas you continue to bring to us are brilliant, and they keep us creative and motivated. But the single most important thing about Clarity is the community that you have built. That is its magic. The Clarity Family”
And if you are a part of that community, then you will know what he means. The energy in the room, the affection and camaraderie, the friendship – it was palpable. I am so grateful to be a part of it.
So a big THANK YOU to all my dear team – I rarely say MY, but I feel the need to hug them all. We all make it happen together, but I’m telling you, they pulled it off. THEY did. I may have sent out the invitations, but they did all the work.
If you attended, thank you, thank you, thank you. I know many of you went to great lengths and travelled a long way to get there. We so appreciate your friendship, custom and Clarity loyalty. Long may it continue. Here’s to next time, eh?
Love and Clarity

I am glad the whole weekend went well, it was great to see everyone on the FB lives. Looking forward now to see all the new products that were launched over the weekend. I see Louise will be the first to show us the new Groovi plates tomorrow. I think my shopping list is about to start growing !!
I’m so pleased that it went well, I know that a lot goes into making everything run smoothly. I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to attend, (my Clarity budget was already spent on products and courses,) but I was there in spirit! If lived nearer I’d absolutely be with you for every single event. Hopefully I’ll be able to make the next one.
I hope that you’re able to relax a little bit now and enjoy your time with Grace. 😊

So glad Barbara that you have had a rest day! I imagine that they do command a lot of energy! All the open days looked so much fun and I imagine the workshop were full of hints and tips! The Christmas tree groovi plate looks fab. Looking forward to seeing all the new stamps and groovi that are in the pipeline!
It was a fantastic weekend! Always so good to connect with Clarity friends and make a few new ones too! And don’t forget that teams only work when they’re led well… ❤️
I second that sentiment Deborah.
It was very nice talking to you too and to show you my Parchment Craft efforts from the 123 course.
I have spent today stamping the Christmas Wreaths that were part of my sale order that you showcased recently on Clarity Social TV. I now have them all coloured up and for once I feel I am getting ahead with my Christmas Cards for family.
Glad you were able to rest today. It was a brilliant weekend by you and the amazing team. Thank you. Xx

I am not sure what happened to my comment. Oh well, let’s try again.
Thank you very much Barbara and the wonderful Clarity team for the effort it takes to organise the Open Days & Workshops. You certainly deserve a rest day.
I enjoyed myself on Friday and even managed to complete the Picot Cutting with the Lovely Glynis on my 2nd module project of the 123 Picot Cutting Course and the lovely Louise was very pleased with my efforts. I am looking forward to the last module of the course on Wednesday. I very much appreciate the Clarity Community as I have experienced the loss of my parents and sometimes feel quite alone, but as you say Barb, aren’t we lucky that we can get with our hands to make something and get out of our heads and the beauty is that we have something nice to show for it. Talking of something nice; that present for your mum that was made by a kind Clarity Customer was something else “Heimat” Home. I look forward to you showing that in the SHAC maybe.
I had great day attending with friends and family. Always come away with so much inspiration and plans for upcoming projects. Good to see some Clarity friends again. Looking forward to the next one!! x
Glad to hear you have been having a rest to recharge the batteries. It really was a splendid weekend so thank you to you and ALL the team, as you say, they also work incredibly hard behind the scenes. Here’s to the next one xxx
Well done to Barbara and the team
The open days were fantastic. I enjoyed it and wonderful to see everyone again.
Barbara and the team at clarity done an marvellous job. They are warm & friendly and made everyone feel welcome. Every year I booked my annual leave to go to the open days and I was tempted to buy some angels kits and pay for the last space at the groovi workshop. My Husband,Steve brought me some groovi plates too. I so happy I was at the last workshop with Linda, she will be missed but Happy semi retirement, Linda.
A big hug to all. Have wonderful Christmas and we will see you all in the new year xx
Hi Barb, I think a rest was well deserved after a busy weekend. Love the Facebook lives (just watched them again). So much fun. The Groovi trees are beautiful as are the design team samples. Bx
a brilliant few days, so pleased you had a relaxing time with Grace by your side on Monday to chill. Ali and I enjoyed every moment, full of laughter with all of the clarity team, and the fellow clarity addicts. what a team. Don’t think my bank balance is very happy, but be rude not to buy.😄 the Xmas tree cards are lovely.
I am so grateful to be a part of the Clarity community and I totally agree with Ken’s observations. The open day on Saturday was definitely one of the highlights of the year for me and completely worth the challenging journeys there and back.
All my craft stash is packed away now ready for the move next week – I think I am getting withdrawal symptoms already from the lack of crafting………!
