Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Have I mentioned the beautiful new collection of Under The Sea ClarityStamps and Groovi plates designed by Cherry Green? Excited to be showcasing these this weekend! When? Sunday 2-4pm Where? On TV at Hochanda.com The other evening I was in a headspin. You know how it goes. Didn’t want to work anymore, didn’t want to watch the box, wanted to hang out with Dave. Out of sorts with myself, I think it’s called. Needed…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Great day today. Brilliant meeting with the accountant – which was a welcome surprise, I can tell you! Sometimes you just can’t see the spot you’re standing on, and it takes somebody else to size up the situation for you. All this hard work is paying off, I’m happy to report. January is always such a telling month, almost sinister after the happy Christmas period and all the festivities. So many businesses are closing…
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. 27th January already? It can’t be! Blimey. I’m still looking at the box of decorations in the dining room which haven’t made it up the loft yet! May as well leave them downstairs at this rate; It’ll be Christmas again before we know it! Had a great day with Tina yesterday. It was good to catch up and have a proper heart to heart. Your flooding Facebook with your artwork using her designs this…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Carrying on the Tina Cox Celebration weekend, and since she and I will doubtless be indulging in all sorts of sweet things when she arrives, I thought today might be a perfect day for a little virtual blog candy too – a competition! Here’s your chance to win a £20 Clarity Gift Voucher…easy peasy quiz! And much better for you than chocolate! All you have to do is watch the little step by step…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s Tina Cox Celebration Weekend, so how about taking a little look behind the scenes. It was Tina who first came up with the idea of our Perforated Pattern Grids. She gave us some pretty inspirational guideline books to go with the first two Border pattern grids, too. In case you’re not familiar with them, let me elucidate. The first thing to know is that there are 2 books for the Straight Grid No…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. And thanks for responding so brilliantly and plastering Facebook with your artwork made using Tina’s designs! Amazing, isn’t it, how much she helps us be creative… I mentioned yesterday that the very first point of contact I had personally with Tina was a little set of stamps which she had designed. Butterflies and Flowers! SURPRISE!!!! She also gave a me a box of beautiful art samples, which have been sitting on the shelf by…
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. Did you read Grace’s excellent blog about Gratitude Lists yesterday? It was good to be reminded; in the daily chaos that has enveloped Clarity in recent times, I have been neglecting to do that simple task every morning, and reading Grace’s sage words placed me firmly back on track. Thanks Grace. If you would like to check it out, go to yesterday’s CLARITY MATTERS Blog. A worthy read indeed. In fact, at the very…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Good day today. A Billy-Building day! There’s nothing like a mindless exercise to clear the head, is there?! Mind you, building BILLY Bookshelves does require a little focus – as I found out! There IS a set sequence, and it’s best to stick to it, and not be the first in the process. So we formed a production line, Paul and I. Paul started the step by step. He likes unboxing things, so I…
