Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Another glorious day here in the southeast. I was talking to my mate Linda Williams this morning. It’s raining in Wales apparently. Anyway, she has been writing a book about tools for months. Ooh! I say! For the uninitiated, that could be misleading. I could write a novel about a few tools who’ve crossed my path over the years too. It might not be a bestseller, but it would be quite therapeutic I bet…
Hi there, Thanks for popping in. Decided to check out the Member’s Sale today, and pick one of the stamps to blog. Choices, choices, choices… Stamps, Stencils, Groovi and other stuff too. 38 pages of it to be precise! Settled on the tall, funky Fairy Tree House, which was so exquisitely drawn by Mel a while ago. Very clever. Stamped it on an inky paper scrap I had lying around. It comes with a mask, too. Also very clever. Loaded…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hot, or what ??? Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Paul and I ventured into the garage where all the workshop stash is today, to sort it out. The last time we went in there was when we dumped last year’s gear – A YEAR AGO! Shameful… The thing is, we just fly from one job to the next, and I distinctly remember saying to Paul last summer after the retreats, “Right, Paul, this time…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. We have been gearing up for 2 lovely brand new Stamp Launches at work all week, and I decided to take a look at just how many NEW STAMP DESIGNS we have launched since January. Here are my findings: Woodland Collection of Outline Stamps & Miniatures including Masks sets available individually Designed by Barb and Jim Wild Flowers …
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…
