Queues of screaming, over-excited children, mothers barking at them to stop frightening the animals, loads of strollers – and Dave & me in…

Thanks for popping in, On my way to join the crew for supper at the Spa, so just want to show you a clever little trick with the brand new Fairy Plates, which lovely Rosie has been demonstrating on Hochanda today.

Hi there. Thanks for popping in! What a smashing day we had today at the Clarity retreat. Well, I certainly enjoyed it, and the vibe was great. Rossella (aka Rosie) joined us this time, as a guest. She was in her element – she helped massively with the picot cutting on Day 1, and had a blast with the Gelplates and stamps on Day 2. It was great to see her so relaxed and enjoying herself. She just took off…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Day 3. Tick. Just had a lovely day with a lovely group, and now it’s time for supper. Here we are, following Dirty Dave. We don’t actually know him.

Mel suggested it, so I rolled a load of Viva Decor paint over the craft mat…
