Hi there. Thanks for popping in. It’s Mothering Sunday here in the UK, so if you are celebrating, or being celebrated, have a great day! I have been up and at it, writing and doing artwork. Tomorrow, to end our Japan March celebrations on a high, we are launching a rather special set of immaculate Crane stamps. They each come with their image masks, too. Original artwork by our friend, Mel Turner. They are so beautiful! Let me find some…
Hi there Just a quick update. It’s been a while since I blogged! The days just seem to run away with me! Many many thanks for all the kind messages, cards, and gifts that Dave and I received last week. So thoughtful and generous! Dave is definitely making great progress, which is very heartening. I see the pain levels subsiding in his eyes as the days go on, and I see it in his movement too. So things are certainly…
Hi there It’s my birthday today, and, whilst I am starting to feel my age, I’m also very grateful to have reached 66! As our Grace always tells me, it’s a privilege not afforded everybody. So with that in mind, I am very happy to be here today, in very good health and with a loving family – I’m sure you understand me! That said, Dave and I will spend the morning at the hospital, because today’s the day they…
Hi there Just got off the phone to our friend, Janice Phillips. She’s wending her way down to Kent this evening, in readiness for the launch of her beautiful BEAUTIFUL photo stamps on Clarity Social TV tomorrow at 10am. We’re calling them her Timestamp Collection. I have been playing for hours! We’ve also been busy printing postcards. Simply perfect… The thing about these images, is that they work so so well with so so many different backgrounds. Whether you want…
Hi there I simply cannot believe that a whole week has gone by since I last wrote a blog! That’s bonkers! Just thought I’d pop in and post a pic of our make in the SHAC this morning, and there it was! Last Monday’s make staring at me! Ah well. No point in fretting. I guess it’s been a busy few days! It was evident that my fellow SHACKERS really enjoyed letting their hair down, and doodling those little people…
Hi there Woke up this morning, and decided to bite the bullet. Thermal Long Johns, thermal vest, two pairs of socks and a biker’s tube for the neck – and I was set to get back behind the wheel! No no no. My days of Harley Davidson biking are well and truly over. In fact, my lovely bike was sold last year. It’s just way too dangerous. Too many cars, too many idiot drivers, too many potholes. But I’m grateful…
Hi there Dave and I are “friends” of the Dulwich Picture Gallery in Southeast London. In other words, we pay an annual subscription of about £100, which helps them keep it going, and allows us access to any exhibitions and talks they hold FREE of charge. It’s a lovely little haven of art and culture, bang in the middle of a metropolis, an urban sprawl. It’s a beautiful building too, hidden within a little park, AND it is the oldest…
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…
Hi there January 11th 2016. Let’s dial in that date, and go back in time….. Well, well, well…That’s the Anaheim Convention Centre in Los Angeles. Yep. LA Bright blue skies, beautiful temperature. I remember it well. We were working there, presenting our Groovi System on the Product performers stand. They were our US Distributors back then. Such a busy week! Met lovely Marion Emberson from WOW powders there. Love that girl. Did an arty demonstration for the Gelpress people… And…
