Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Lovely sunny day here in Kent. How about your neck of the woods? We went for our New Year’s Day walk on the 1st as planned, but just over to the Ashdown Forest. It was rather foggy that day, and definitely welly weather, very muddy underfoot. My feet always get cold in wellies, so before we set off I thought I’d put on a second pair of socks….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Been prepping away here for Sunday’s TV shows with Paul. First the 2-4 show with those amazing Doodleology stamps. Cannot stop playing with them! Then there’s a new format at 6pm, with a new TWO hour ODS (One Day Special) launch, instead of just one hour. By the time we usually walk down the counter and talk about what’s on offer, the hour’s nearly over! So we have decided that a 2 hour launch…
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. Been doing even MORE prep for telly. Even though I knew yesterday that I had enough demos for the new Doodleology stampsets to easily cover the 2 hours, I thought I’d incorporate the new Texture Stamps too, because lovely Pam Kershaw mentioned that yesterday. Six hours later, and at least 5 arty demos later, I really need to move on! But these stamps are so cool! Thing is, even if I don’t get to…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I got lost in my little world of telly prep today. So far I’ve done far more than we’ll ever have time for in 2 hours! And there’s so much more to explain and suggest! Mmm… this will require some more thought; maybe I can blog a few little tricks & ideas. Cherry’s new stamps are insanely versatile! Even something as simple as stamping on Designer paper, embossing and cutting out looks fab! And…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Today has been a good day. I looked at the calendar, realised that this time next week it’s TV WEEKEND again, and decided to get ahead of the game. With all the new building plans on the horizon, I’ll certainly feel better in myself if I’ve got a few demos prepped! Mind you, this is no hardship at all at all with these new designs! We are certainly launching 2020 with a wonderful collection…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Had a little moment today. Went to the new building with Paul to make a plan, opened a secret corridor – and set the main alarm off ! The good news is that the system really works well; the bad news is we didn’t know the password to switch it off! And IT IS LOUD!!! So while Paul tried every possible number combination and waved the little fob around in front of the sensor…
Hi there, Happy Boxing Day! I hope your holidays have been pleasant? Had Dave’s family over today. It was lovely. Little children – no, actually – unicorns in the house. How lovely was that?! Prepared a big old bowl of German Potato Salad, served up with – yep, you guessed it – T U R K E Y ! Dee-lish-us!! And that brings the Christmas festivities to a close in our home for another year. Grace is off back to…
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…
