Hi there! Greetings from Glastonbury! We had a bit of a fiasco getting here last night. M25 fine, M3 fine, A303 fine, Dave the Caravan Man waved to Stonehenge on the right Glastonbury 361 – came to a standstill. 5 hours sat sitting in the car, not moving. Popularly known as gridlock traffic, or a pain in the bum if you come from Gillingham! Ah well, fortunately we had bought some food from Waitrose at a truck-stop en route, so…
Hiya! Thanks for dropping in! Been a total scramble today, trying to get out the door…. But now for something completely different! Here we are, Barbie and Dave, two caravan virgins, all set – for better or for worse – for our next little adventure! Look what we’ve got! Only sticking point is the weather really… Bedding? Tick. Towels? Tick. Loo roll? Tick. The rest we can get en route! While Dave manoeuvres the caravan in the drive, and hitches…
Hi there! Good of you to pop in on this rainy day. Monday’s blog is Flowers and Trees, right? I want to share something really special with you… Well yesterday, we hung out with our friends Debby and Gill. They have moved to Texas, which has been a bit of a mission. Having moved back and forth across the continents from Europe to California myself, I know what a logistic challenge that is. We were talking about all the trinkets and dust-catchers…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. How are you today? If you came to Crowborough on Friday or Saturday, then I hope you had as much fun as we all did, and I hope you got home safely. The Clarity Arty Team before it all kicked off+ our lovely Dee – she was running a little late xx Judging by facebook, I think we can safely assume that it was a hit, and that our guests had a blast. These…
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Sorry I’m so late! Just got home. After a second very special Open Day at Crowborough, by the time we had broken down the hall and gone for a bite to eat, it was 10 o’clock! I am sure that Sam, Mandy, Jo, Maria, Tina Linda Paul, And Dee, (missing photo!) not to mention the rest of the crew, all join me in thanking everbody who came along and who helped make it a…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in! Want the good news? OPEN DAY NUMBER ONE WAS SOOOOOO COOL!!! I’ve got exactly 10 minutes before the Claritytroupe turn up for supper here at the house! Table’s laid. Have I cooked? Yeah, and the Pope made the Rhubarb Crumble. Domino’s Pizza rocks!! Here’s a quick show n tell of one of my demos today Pretty basic, but hey! I was hopping around like a loony inbetween, I can tell you!! Gel Plate jobby…..
Hello! Thanks for dropping in! Typing extra fast here, so forgive the spelling! All the ladies have gone to freshen up at the hotel, and then we are meeting at the restaurant for supper. So they’ll enter all cool and refreshed, and I’ll be knackered and schvetty! Good day though. Long too. Setting up for the Open Days is a mammoth task. Many many things to remember, It all starts with a few good friends and a blank canvas…. Aha!…
Hi there. Mindful Wednesday. I hope today finds you safe and well. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world for sure. In these crazy times, a safe place is beginning to feature more than ever. What on earth is going on ??? The radio is barking apocalytic threats if we vote the wrong way in Europe; French police are being murdered, innocent young people are being massacred in America. Whole countries being raised to the ground by warmongers. Is it…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Here we are, getting all revved up for the Clarity Open Days here in Crowborough on Friday and Saturday, And it’s no good. There is something brand new we’ve been holding back for the coming weekend. It can’t wait. Have to show you now. I have been moaning about having to cellotape our Groovi Borders to the Groovi Plate Mate since Day 1. Well no. Day 2 actually, when I had to pick all…
Hi there. Good of you to pop in. Quiet day here. That’s it, isn’t it. Life goes on. So on we go then. But something has to change! If we always do what we always did, we’ll always get what we always got. Monday’s tree is flowers and trees, right? So here’s a simple little step-by step, using a few Gel Plate scraps I had lying around. Pick the one to use… Stamp the lovely Butterfly Tree silhouette stamp in…
