Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just a quick little stamping on parchment step by step, using Tina’s lovely new Robin stamps. CLICK HERE Tricks n tips, right?

You see, you can see through the parchment, so this copy-paper version becomes your template, or pattern as it were,…

Hi there! Thanks for poppeting in. Oh boy! You liked Tina’s Mandalas then! Good grief! Paul is back on at 12 and 4 today. We’ve added more stock, both for the Groovi plates AND the stamps!

Hi there, Thanks for popping in. And thank you so much for tuning in to HOCHANDA today, and flying the Clarity flag ! Sooo busy! I guess the Half -Price offer was too good to pass up? I know I needed a new set of the first five, because I’ve been using the same set since their inception, and they were looking a little bit “well loved”. Still worked fine, but were looking their age! Aren’t we all!! ANyway, once…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. This morning, upon opening the curtains at 6am I spotted Venus shining brightly just below a fabulous crescent moon. Quite a spectacle. And then we saw mars too!

Hi there Thanks for popping in. Been poodling around the house today, cooking, cleaning, ironing and just generally catching up with domestic chores.
