Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s very windy here darn sarf! Blowing a gale! The old trees in the garden are bending and dancing; handling it well, as they always do. We could learn a lot from the trees. Had a day alone prepping for this week’s TV. Thursday 2 hours. Saturday 3 hours. Paul and I are sharing; I’m on Stamps and Stencils duty – he’s covering Groovi and Dies. I do sometimes wonder what I’m doing, making…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. What a fantastic morning we have had! Remember I told you something huge is going on at Clarity? Well, it’s official! It’s going ahead! I’m so excited!! Let’s make a date on Friday, for me to tell you about it though; there’s still some paperwork to sort out. But when the ink is dry, on Friday, I will sing it from the rooftops – loud and clear ! In the meantime, the dates have…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Day of calm today, before Paul and I head on up to HOCHANDA early tomorrow morning, for the next round of TV shows! The afternoon hours are showcasing our Clarity Clubs. If you have just recently joined, then this will be an ideal opportunity to buy Past Issues of Stamps, Stencils and Groovi. Then at 6pm, we launch a small ODS, but a very special one. Many of you will remember our dear friend…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Up at the studios here, in one of the nice offices, writing to you before we set up for tomorrow‘s 8am launch of the new Texture Stamps. Just came off air. Tina‘s beautiful floral stamp flew out, didn‘t it? Knew it would. Such a glorious design. And so easy to use. Thank you so much for watching and supporting. What an amazing Clarity community this is. And the Groovi plates are flying too! So….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Busy busy here. Maria and Paul are both on telly tomorrow. Maria is showcasing a brand new and beautiful trio of Fresh Cut dies and stencils at 12 noon and 4pm. I could spend my days cutting out these beautiful designs by Mel. I do love a beautiful papercut. All you need is a pack of cardblanks and a pack of Design Papers – and you’re away! Then Paul is launching a not to…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. All the best laid plans, and all that! My neck just clicked yesterday afternoon – and that was that. Went to put my jacket on, and it froze. Hurt like hell. One more night in a hotel bed would have polished me off totally. So I finally had to accept that it was game over, time to stop, time to hand over the keys. Dear Paul took the reins on the Pergamano Shows, did…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Sunny Saturday. Great rugby result too! England 40 Australia 16. What a powerful game! Our Mark is actually in Tokyo, watching the Ireland – New Zealand match as I write! Lucky lad. Not so lucky for Ireland it seems. But it ain’t over yet! And what a privilege to even be there! Here’s a story. So the rest of his rugby team were heading out to Japan the week before last, but Mark decided…
Hi there, Ho Ho Ho!! I know, I know. Christmas is weeks away. But if you are a cardmaker, or a giftmaker, then you are already thinking about it. I am! We looked at the Gray Friday date at work this morning, which is much later this year, at the end of November, in fact. Whilst that may fine to be stocking up on Stocking stash, so to speak, it is a bit late in the day for making cards…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Want to show you a screenshot of my day…. Started out by cracking on with prep for the Sunday 2-4 show. Cherry Green’s Dragonfly and Seahorse. The more I use these stamps, the more I love them. Then shot off to pottery, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Went on the wheel, and was supper happy with how much I remembered. Then came back home, had a quick cuppa with Dave, and came back up here…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. We were in the new warehouse this afternoon, looking at the number of Freshcut dies on the shelves. And I thought to myself, we can do a weekend half-price sale on a set! That’s what I thought!! The thing is, you see, the dies are the one thing we don’t make ourselves. We design them, and the packaging and all that, but then we have a friend in China – and he really is…
