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….
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Back to work this morning – It’s all going on here, I can tell you !!!! We have had our back-in-the-saddle-meeting, and given what’s coming our way, we have to make a few changes. The first one is the Challenge Blogs. We LOVE having monthly challenges ; I for one think it stretches you and gives you a direction to work towards. And everybody likes an incentive, so the Gift Vouchers for winning entries…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in. Waved goodbye to Mark and his girl Alex this morning. So the house is very quiet again. Doesn’t seem that long ago they all landed! And already that’s it for another year. It was a great visit though. You know I struggle with the distance between us and the kids; it’s the one thing that really gets to me from time to time. But it’s their choice to live in the States, and as…
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!! Thanks for dropping in on the first day of 2017. Let’s put 2016 behind us, and move on, shall we? No dwelling on the past, unless it serves to improve the NOW or the future, unless it helps gain insight. We all cherish memories, of course. But living in them is no life. Let’s believe that 2017 is full of promise and hope. Let’s spread some love! Random Acts of Kindness make the world a sweeter…
Hi there. Thanks for joining me on the last day of this year. I spent the morning today up in my artroom alone. Mark and Alex have gone up to London, to see the New Year in with Mark’s buddies from school. So I withdrew to my cave as it were, to spend some time in reverie. I think we need that sometimes. Peace and quiet, and head space, just to let the thoughts wander, come and go, pass like…
Hi there. Good of you to drop in! Friday’s blog a private peak, right? 2016. Has it been good to you? Or has it been one of those years you would just rather put behind you and move forward? Me? I don’t know really. I have been too busy to take stock. Nothing earth-shattering has happened in my little world. Actually, when I stop to think about it, I guess 2016 has been a very good year. The positives far…
