Hi there.

97 days to Christmas! And today I thought we’d revisit a couple of old SHAC favourites…

When we get together in the SHAC on YouTube LIVE every Monday morning at 10am, we doodle and draw all sorts of things together. Remember these beauties?

I am particularly partial to these two Twiggy Baubles. Maybe it’s their simplicity. Maybe it’s because whenever I look at them, I feel the SHAC energy.

Sue has a card made with them on her wall, and I am drawn towards it every time I pop in her office. Did you know Sue has your artwork all over her walls at work? I showed you this last year. And guess what ! They are still there – in fact, there are loads more now too!

So I am thinking these might be perfect for my Christmas cards this year. They come with the shape masks, which is really handy. Lookie lookie…

Here’s what we did in the SHAC, penning the festive writing to make the hanger. I think I feel another idea for a stamp and Groovi design coming on…

Jazz also turned them into Groovi plates. Anybody got any artwork using them? I’d love to see them on our Facebook pages…

I love that about the SHAC. We get together, doodle something simple, hang out together. Then at Clarity, we turn that sketching into stamps and Groovi plates, that we can all use to be creative all over again.

Maybe you’ve still got your bauble drawing tucked away. Or maybe it even made it onto a card or decoration last Christmas. Either way, it’s a nice reminder of what happens when we stop for an hour, doodle together, and let simple shapes turn into something special.

Maybe you are seeing these baubles for the first time. Well today’s your lucky day! Did I tell you we’ve made them into stamps and Groovi plates? Hahaha. CLICK HERE to buy.

The SHAC is important. It was born out of a catastrophic global pandemic, but it kept a lot of us together and sane during those months of isolation and fear. It gave us a place to go every day, and we even had some fun during our virtual world tour on the SHAC BUS.

Next to getting sober many, many years ago, and raising Grace and Mark, it is probably the most meaningful, significant thing I have ever done.

Love and Clarity,
