Hiya! Wet and windy outside here. What about where you are? White Christmas? I’m thinking Nope. What was all that flannel about months ago on the radio? That this was going to be the coldest, whitest winter ever ever on record, in fact before records began, in fact before the Ice Age. Almost fell for it, didn’t we! -21˚C my derrière! There was a butterfly woke up in our lounge yesterday! Poor thing didn’t know what was going on! Let’s have…
Hello there. Thanks for popping in! I’ve got a joint in the oven, so forgive me if I type fast! I sloped off to make some art to giveaway, and I’m thinking I may have to stop and come back later…. Or I could just leave you the step by step pictures and let you figure it out!!! I know it’s Mindful Wednesday today, and I am very mindful of the time! To be perfectly honest, I have been thinking…
Ho! Ho ! Ho ! Hope you are well? Wow! Never saw that kind of response to the Card Giveaway idea! How flattered am I?! So this evening I have gone blingy, and tried a different look for Christmas. Just trying to cater to everybody’s taste. Here’s a trick I did on telly last time, using the adhesive sheet and gilding flakes. I hope you like it…. Here’s what we need: The Snowflake stencil set Some A6 double-sided adhesive and…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Hope you are doing well, in the run up to Christmas? Having spend a delightful weekend with my Mum, it’s time to knuckle down and sort out a few last minute things. Like tax returns and the proposals for January’s TV Shows! But actually, they can wait till tomorrow… I have had a think about how we can celebrate the days leading up to Christmas here on our blog. The situation is this: At…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. I have to admit, it is great watching Paul Church on TV today. I actually get to spend a day off with my Mum while Paul represents Clarity. And he does it very very well. Maria Simms too. Both brilliant ambassadors for Clarity. And what a mighty relief it is for me to be able to chill. Mind you, chill? Me? I was up at 7am writing a magazine article (deadline tomorrow)! There will never…
Hello there! How are you today? I am having a great day with my parents. Dad and I both got up really early. Met on the landing at the crack of dawn, and spent a very pleasant hour or so, chatting and drinking tea. They have a lovely, lovely garden, well loved and nurtured. We were watching the birds and squirrels, and Dad was showing me their drey, their home. I quoted him one of our stamps, which he particularly…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by today. I am spending a few days with my Mum, as I do every year before Christmas. Usually, we drive over to Germany and fill the boot with German delicacies, like Sauerkraut and Lebkuchen. But this year, after the events that took place in Paris, both she and I elected to stay at home, and not venture beyond the English frontier. Well, today we were reminiscing about our antics in Baden Baden, when we…

Hello there, Thanks for popping in on Mindful Wednesday. Today’s where we look at matters of the heart & soul. It’s been a hectic few weeks here, I can tell you! Hectic but good. The Clarity team has rallied, and even though we aren’t filling orders as quickly as some would like, we are going like the clappers – Dave and myself included. This morning at the crack of sparrows, Dave and I were having a cuppa before darting off to…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. For those of you who like to be reminded of what’s what, thought I’d blog another of the demos from the HOCHANDA TV Show last Sunday. It was a little rushed at the end of the show, so I would rather take it from the top slowly…. Here is a super new Thank You framer Stampset. All mounted, fired up, and ready to play. There is actually a Thank You mask included in the…
