Hi there!Thanks for popping in. Had a super meeting with a few members of the marketing team this morning. Teamwork certainly makes the dream work here. One thing became apparent very quickly during the meeting: we are all approaching Clarity sales from the same place – kind and caring. Whilst this may be neither the business norm nor the most lucrative way, we all agreed that it is the only acceptable way for us. Hey! When did we ever toe…
Happy New Year!Thanks for popping in! While Dave and I head down to the coast for our first of the year walk, please allow me to wish you health, happiness and joy in 2020. Here’s a little video which our Simon rustled up for us! May the New Year be kind to you and yours. Love and Hugs Barb xxx
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. In fact, thank you for popping in most days, as you do. I appreciate you, and even though you may not comment, I know you are there – and that’s a good thing. Remember when I was under attack back in June for ostensibly plagiarising artwork? That was a very low point for me, and without wanting to relive the whole headstorm, what I remember was the overwhelming show of support from friends and…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Happy Christmas! Before the family congregates round the big table for breakfast, and in between peeling spuds and prepping pigs in blankets for Christmas lunch later, I thought I would just take myself off for 5 minutes, to wish you all the very, very best. Christmas is a funny old time of year. Some are surrounded by family and friends, some are not. Some are partying and celebrating, some are not. Some are poodling…
Ho Ho Ho! Thanks for popping in. Let me tell you a story… Once upon a time there was a crafter called Barb, who ran a small stamp company called Claritystamp. For a long time she worked out of her home, which was very small, and things were quite tight! She hadn’t seen the dining room table for years – it was covered in ink pads and paper and stamps. The car never saw the inside of the garage –…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Wet n windy here darn sarf today! Not nice at all at all! Christmas is looming, isn’t it? Are you in the festive mood yet? I’m not feeling it yet, although I have been putting together a little box to send to the States, as our Mark can’t make it home this year. New job and all that. Talk of the devil! Must be my witching powers! He just Facetimed! Nice to catch up….
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Today i want to talk about the Clarity New Design Clubs. All 4 of them. Stamps. Stencils. Groovi Parchment and Fresh Cut Dies. Are you a member? If not perhaps it’s something you might consider for the New Year. New Year, new guided tour! Every month you receive a full colour double tutorial sheet through your letterbox, together with the pertinent stamp, stencil, plate or die. All of which are always brand new designs…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thanks if you are watching and following Paul and myself on HOCHANDA TV this weekend. The Jayne Nestorenko ODS is drawing to a close, but it has been an absolute treasure and pleasure. I have particularly enjoyed sharing the hours with Paul ( Not only because it is half the work!). There has been a really strong sense of dear Jayne with us. Paul was very close to her, and it felt right showcasing…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Just got home from Peterborough. Traffic was building up as we came south, and it took just about as long to crawl through Tunbridge Wells as to get all the way down the M11! Never mind. Grateful to be home, safe and sound. First of all, I must THANK YOU once again for liking the new Mixed Impression Texture Stamps. Of course, with the power of hindsight, why were we surprised that you bought…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Up with the lark this morning! It’s certainly colder now. The last of the ginkgo leaves came down this week. Our yellow carpet outside the kitchen door is glorious. Mission this morning: sort out this shitpit of a craftroom of mine, which has just gone completely to seed! One thing at a time… The Gray Sale has gone mad again, which I’m very glad about too, because as I have told you, there’s something…
