Hi there! Greetings from beautiful Salcombe, South Devon. And what a place it is indeed! Grace and Mark certainly picked a Bingo-Spot here at the Spa – and I don’t mean we gather together in the bar to play Bingo in the evening either! Oh no. Judging by the Lamborghinis, Silver Shadows and Mclarens in the car park, Bingo is not on the entertainment schedule here! And I do enjoy a game too! Anyway, we are going walking today. Hiking…
Hi there. I’m back! Just popping in to post today’s blog whilst Barbara & Dave head to Salcombe for a mini spa break. Also, a big thanks to everyone that tuned in to Hochanda over the past 2 days. The Twas the Night stamps went down a storm as did the new Fresh Cut Floral Friends Aperture dies – thank you x Time for a new YouTube Tutorial from Barbara using the lovely fine line Rounds range of stamps, together…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. So pleased you like the lovely new floral dies which Paul and myself have been showcasing on HOCHANDA. Paul has done such a great job today! He has one more hour from 5 to 6pm, so I hope you can pop in and see what he has in store for you. Great demos, great price. When we were prepping the other day, I rustled this little piece up. Doesn’t look like a typical Die…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Well, it’s all go here at HOCHANDA today. What an amazing Twas The Night reception! After a very busy afternoon session (thank you for joining me!), at 6pm we are presenting our first collection of ROUND Fresh Cut Dies. I have to say, these are superb. I could spend all my days simply cutting these out and slipping a lovely designer paper or card in behind them. Drawn by our dear Melanie, these designs…
Hi there! Good of you to drop in. Big day tomorrow for us on telly, so I do hope you have time to tune in to HOCHANDA, 2-4pm From 2-4pm I shall be showcasing a collection of Claritystamps which are very dear to my heart. I drew them myself – A FEW AT A TIME, AND OVER MANY YEARS!!! Twas the Night before Christmas. Years ago, when Grace and Mark were just toddlers, I – like many parents – used…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hot up here under the rafters!! We’ve closed all the blinds in a vain attempt to block out the heat. So I thought I’d look back to a year ago today and see what was going on on 3rd August 2017. Blow me down!! Or blow the tree down in the storm!!! Do you remember the old pear tree in our garden, which keeled over in the storm? Can you believe it was a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had another chuckle reading through all your tea guesses yesterday! I think I will hold the winner till tomorrow. Savour it, so to speak…Do go into yesterday’s blog and have some fun. Meanwhile, back in Clarityworld, Paul and I are revving up for the Sunday and Monday TV shows on HOCHANDA. Finally, I have finished the Twas the Night set! The final 5 are complete. I do hope you like them. I’ll show you…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. A huge THANK YOU to Paul for steering this ‘ere blog whilst I was in Germany. The internet in the hotel we stayed in on the North Sea was pretty bleak. So I used it as a reason to step away from the plate for a few days and regroup. We visited Jever on our travels, a lovely little town where my parents met way back when. And there we chanced upon a delightful…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. I bet you thought you had seen the last of me! Well I thought I would carry on with the blog today, so that Barbara has a chance to catch up with a few things. So, today the lovely Maria brings you another YouTube video tutorial on how to make quick and easy card. I must say that I really, really, really like what Maria has done – I think I need to get…
Hey there. Thanks for popping in. Well yesterday’s Caption Competition sure generated some interest! I had a good chuckle to myself reading the comments! On Wednesday I will get Debs and Lisa to choose a winner so you still have time to enter. Well the naughty step is looking a little empty this morning, so before Barbara and Dave return, I thought I would be naughty one last time! (well for today anyway!) You have been loving the Jayne Nestorenko…
