Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Glastonbury seems like a long time ago already, and yet this time last week, we hadn’t even unpacked the caravan! Hit the ground running here, and haven’t had time to take stock of what was a truly amazing experience. Since we’ve been back, the first question folks have asked is “Which act was your favourite?” That’s a tricky question; there were so many! Jools Holland was uplifting; he had us all boogying and singing…
Hi there. Apologies for blogging so late. Long day at the office playing catch up again. There’s so much to to, especially with the Member’s Half Price Sale starting last weekend. CLARITYSTAMP WEBSITE The thing is, unlike many sales, we don’t walk round the warehouse and see what we want to get rid of, what we want to shift. It isn’t a clearance sale. Quite the contrary! We stock up for the sale! In fact, we promise not to sell…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! What a busy weekend !!! I shall be glad to get home. But I really wanted to share this little Groovi card with you, that I made using one of Jayne’s wonderful Christmas Children designs this morning. I knew I wouldn’t finish it during the show; it’s the little girl looking out of the window. But not a Christmas card at all! I am really chuffed with it. It isn’t perfect, and if you…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Phew! What a day! Just off to the hotel for a kip before it starts again tomorrow. You see, what you don’t know is that we are also streaming live into the Netherlands at 7am !! Thank you so much for watching and supporting today if you did. The shows went exceptionally well, and it looks like we are finally getting up to speed with stock levels. Happy days. Here is the Kraft demo…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Paul and I have been at Colemans in the Midlands today. What a cracking place!! And such lovely staff. How refreshing to go to a shop where the staff are all crafters! It couldn’t have been a better, more pleasant experience. And the icing on the cake? Darling Katie, Joy and Hubby were there too. So now we have come across to Peterborough, all set for tomorrow. The first show will be with Tina….
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Friday’s blog a private peak, right? Today something popped into my head which I haven’t thought of for years. NIGYSOB (Pronounced Niggysob) Please allow me to explain… Many years ago, I embarked on a course of study which involved TA. No, not the Territorial Army. Transactional Analysis. Very interesting psychology theory. My marriage had fallen apart, I had come back to England from the States with two little kids, and was trying to figure…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Thursday’s Blog is always blue, right? Well mostly! Paul and I have spent a lovely day together, prepping the Christmas launch on Jayne’s beautiful childrens’ stamps and Groovi Plates. Jayne LOVED Christmas. It was her favourite time of year. In fact, I’m pretty certain she hung on last Christmas for Christmas. She just wanted to spend one more with her family before she went on ahead…. So here’s a demo which I have prepped…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me here. Back to work today, and it’s like we’ve never been away! Except the pile is just a little bit taller… But that’s okay. I’m ticking boxes as I go, which always feels good. I know you will be delighted to hear that we are having a Jayne Nestorenko Celebration over the next few days. Firstly, Rosie is on Hochanda on Thursday, showing off Jayne’s wonderful floral frames. There were four summer and two winter…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Boy oh boy! Were the gods smiling on us in Glastonbury, or what ?!? The one day I did wear my wellies because the sky looked rather ominous and it felt a bit cold, I regretted it, because the sun came out and we had another fabulously warm day. Nope. It was flip-flops the entire time. We packed up our camp this morning and headed home. No traffic, a straight and easy run. Just…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me. It’s Monday; Dave and I are still hanging out in the caravan, eating pizza, listening to the festival radio, Worthy FM, and hanging on to the last strands of a crazy, wonderful week. How did yesterday go? What did we do? Who did we see? It all rolls into one great long procession of sights, smells and sounds. The weather was lovely, and there seemed to be more people than ever. We fled to…
