Hi everyone, Paul here standing in for Barb for a few days whilst she spends some time with her Mum & Dad. I hope you have all been behaving! (Like I don’t know the answer to that question!) So much has been going on at Clarity Towers since we last chatted, with the main event being the biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig move! The new place is amazing! We have plenty of jobs to do before the final move takes place – painting, putting…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Tying up preps and demos for this weekend. First up, 11am and 2pm Saturday, it’s those Chinese lanterns I drew, together with a smashing new Clarity Mixed Impressions set of Texture Stamps. Our clever Saffron created these – blimming excellent – so brilliant to use! Paul and I will be working together, and he will be demonstrating the Groovi version of these designs. Clever Karen Jackson has masterminded the demos for us, and Paul…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Long day today. Been a day of meetings and forward planning. It’s Show time soon. And I mean GLASGOW SECC here we come! Haven’t been to the Scottish show for years, and am really looking forward to it. The NEC falls a week later than usual, so we can do both for once. SECC Glasgow. March 5th-8th NEC Birmingham. March 19th – 22nd So Brother Steve, Tom, Paul and I were going through spreadsheets…
Hi there, First of the month? February already? What is going on ?!? Here we are, hurtling through 2020 at breakneck speed! Still, we do gain a whole day this year – it’s a leap Year after all. 24 extra hours. To be fair, I’d need about 24 extra hours a day for a year to catch up. But there we have it – One day at a time, I will get there, wherever that is… Back to AbFabFabFeb! Up…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Well today I get to spend the day with our Sam AND our Lucy. SAM – You’ll be familiar with that name. Been on the Clarity Design team for many years. LUCY is one of our super talented inhouse graphic artists, who took Sam’s sketches and ideas, and turned them into stamp and stencil designs for us. I brought her up to the TV studios for a jolly, so she can see what goes…
Hi there. Thank you so much for all your competition entries! I don’t think we have EVER had such a huge response! Most of you got all the answers right too – which means that you definitely watched the video very carefully! But there can only be one winner. And this time the £20 Gift Voucher goes to …. drumroll…. Dawn Sirdefield ! Ta Daaaa! Here are the correct answers, just in case you care! Lifted straight from Dawn’s email! 1….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Mentioned dear Tina in yesterday’s blog yesterday. Then phoned her, just to check in on her. She’s been having a pretty tough time since before Christmas, and she’s still not back to her bubbly self. Actually, if you’re wondering where she is hiding, she has retreated to the back of the cave, and is feeling pretty low. To be honest, I get it. No wonder she’s fed up !! I’d be fed up if…
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…
