Hi there. Thanks for popping in! It’s a winter wonderland here on theAshdown Forest. Very, very beautiful. Friday’s blog a private peek, right? Well, when I was younger I used to live in Bavaria, Germany, and boy! Did we get snow! The Germans are so prepared for it though! There would come a point when the snow got so high that there would be a SCHNEEKETTEN (say Schnaykettn. Perfect) alert, and out would come all the snow chains for the tyres, …
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Need a hug? Well here’s one from me… How about a quickie? A step-by step I mean! Naughty naughty…. I have used last month’s beautiful stamp from the New Design Stamp Club. If you aren’t already in the Clarity Clubs, you can join one, two or all three of our clubs, and receive a stonking good stamp stencil and baby groovi plate every month. Only costs £5 per club per month. You get a…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Wednesday is the day when we stop and look at things from a different angle, right? Well, I was having a battle with the bank again this morning and getting my knickers in a twist again. But then I remembered somebody who could help me. A high ranking bank manager ? Nope. An accountant ? Not at all. There’s a lady I know who is in such a sorry state. She is so desperately…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in! Still at work. Lots of paperwork and legal stuff to plough through. Boy oh boy. You do wonder sometimes what it’s all about, don’t you? Why does everything have to be so complicated, when it really isn’t? Have you tried opening a bank account lately? Well brace yourself Rodney! You’ll need nerves of steel and a landline telephone. Because no mobile phone battery would last as long as these phone calls! What ever happened…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Hahaha! Yeah I know what you thought when you read What a Bust! Got you looking though, eh… Here’s a quick and simple Groovi parching project, which i started but didn’t finish on yesterday’s TV show, so thought i would go back over it a little more slowly! Slowly being the operative word today. I simply don’t ping back like I used to after a day at the studios. Using the lovely new Fashion…
Hi there.Thanks for popping in today. I hope you enjoyed the 2 hour show and all the new products. I said that I was going to blog the Bookmark demo, but forgot that I had prepped the Fashion Poster demo! I will blog the Bookmark demo later in the week! First, let’s make a list of everything we need: Art Deco Alphabet Border Plate Mate Groovi Starter Kit Nested Squares A5 Groovi Plate Distress Markers Hats, Bags & Shoes A4 Border Plates Fashion…
Hi there. Thank you for popping in today. What a week! And Telly tomorrow! Many many thanks for your good wishes and support with regard to the Pergamano acquisition. Told you it was a game changer, didn’t I? There are those who are unhappy, and they’ve already started voicing their opinions, which crushes me, of course, because I honestly only want to do the right thing. And nobody likes criticism, do they. But as I was saying earlier this week,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. BIG DAY HERE AT CLARITY. Remember that huge news I have been teasing you with? Well, today it became official. We are delighted and excited to announce that Claritystamp (that’s us) are now the new owners of PERGAMANO. Told you it was a game changer, didn’t I? I have been bursting to tell you for weeks, but paperwork and transfers had to be sorted, so you understand now why I couldn’t spill. It’s a…
Hi there. Getting ready for the TV shows on Sunday. Had a little breakthrough with parchment. Ran it through my E-Bosser. Perfect. G O O D I D E A Decided to make another one so I could do stages, got the sequence of the mats wrong, and Cut through my magnetic shim. B A D I D E A. Good job I’ve got a spare. That’s what happens when you don’t read the instructions !!!! But how cool…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Mindful Wednesday. Thought for the day: You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you will never please all of the people all of the time. Ain’t that the truth. I’m not a big one for New Year’s Resolutions, because they rarely work for long. I may ease up on chocolate consumption, and try to quit drinking coffee after 6pm….
