Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Don’t know what I’m more excited about – Paul’s blazing a new trail on telly today with the Art Nouveau Fresh Cut dies, or Grace flying in from New York for the wedding. Nah. Sorry Paul. I love you, but Grace gets the Excited-Of-Edenbridge prize today! …and she brought her new fella to the party too. What a nice guy! Name’s Mark, so that could be interesting… Mind you, it has to be said….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie, and a little peep into the wonderful surprise party that the guys at work threw for Dave and myself yesterday. I knew they were up to something, because they insisted that we don’t get to work before 11.30! But when we turned the corner – well! Talk about overwhelming. There they were, the whole team in a great long line, cheering, blowing bubbles and letting off streamers and poppers. A moment…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Well, the count down is definitely on now, and the list of things to do is tick-a-licking along nicely. I spent the entire day making up the wedding favours. I’m pretty certain there IS an easier, softer way, but hey! All done now. On Saturday, our dear friend Wendy Thorburn presented me with a bunch of paper flowers. Really lovely. And made entirely with the Square nested dies and our Designer papers – sprinkled…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just stepping down from all the excitement here over the past few days. Just enjoying the quiet in my little artroom before the next ride. Wow. Need to digest it all really. I gathered up all the cards, envelopes, boxes, gifts, flowers and cakes which kind customers and friends gave us yesterday, and put them safe in the living room – all ready for next weekend. Astounding generosity. Thank you xxx First thing we…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Won’t stay long today; Linda Williams and Rob are here until tomorrow, and I want to make the most of our time together. It is quite a performance having to clear the Open Day Hall by 6pm. But thanks to all the Clarity lads, not a problem. All done and dusted by bang on 5.45pm. As I always say, Teamwork makes the dream work. The last couple of days have been a resounding success…
