Hello and welcome to YouTube Tuesday! Here’s a simple introduction to our new  Groovi Plates and their Mates! Oh boy! If you watched the TV Launch here in England on Sunday,  you will already know that it went haywire,  and we sold out completely of anything Groovi less than thirty minutes into the show! I think we may have hit on a winning formula for  Parchment Crafters here. We have been inundated with positive excitement! Nobody can believe the quick crisp…

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by.  Just got in from the TV Show. What a morning! We launched our new Groovi Parchment Craft System. If you watched, thank you. If you invested in us, thank you again. Sold out in half an hour. Now I know you must think “Well, she obviously doesn’t take enough stock” All I can say is, “it isn’t physically possible to make more!” In fact, we have had to buy two more Laser Cutting machines…

Hello there. It’s You Tube Tuesday and thank you for popping in! We have just had our 6 year TV birthday, you know. Yep. 7th May 2009. It was a one hour show with Martyn Parker,  and I shall never forget it. Nervous? Terrified would be more apt. Shortly after that we moved to Sunday morning Shows,  and we’ve been there ever since. We sold out of this little leafy corner within minutes on that first show, so I thought it…

Hi there! I know. Late again.  I will get my act together again from tomorrow. But I’ve locked Wurka and Hollick in the suitcase until then. Just spent an amusing hour with Grace and Dave, watching last month’s TV show.  I very seldom watch myself on telly.  I did do back in the beginning, to see what could be done better. But then I stopped. Not because there was nothing to improve on! Good God!  But I just decided not…
