When Miss Sunshine met Mr Blueskies in Mountainair…

Hello there! Having left the massive urban sprawl that is Los Angeles, we got on a small plane and came to tuck ourselves away in the vast Rocky mountains of New Mexico.  Quite a temperature drop when you come up 7,000 feet!  But Thursday’s blog is always blue, and I wanted to share these skies with you! We are up on a plateau, although you would never know it except that your ears pop as you climb. There is a…

The Lone Cypress. A Beautiful Stamp.

The Lone Cypress. A Beautiful Stamp.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Greetings from a hotel room in L.A.  Thought that, it being Monday, and Monday’s blog is always Flowers and Trees, I’d revisit the Fantastic Stamp I used here at the Live Launch. The Lone Cypress is one of a collection of three superb stamps and stencils, which can stand alone perfectly, but go together beautifully, if you make sets of notelets to sell, for example. This is the Lone Cypress. Here’s the Napa Valley,…

Up with the Lark in Anaheim. Or was it a Cardinal?

Hi guys! Greetings from a hotel room in Anaheim. The world premiere launch was at 7am Pacific time, and if you watched, I do hope you enjoyed it! Apparently the American viewers were delighted with Clarity and Barbie; and Barbie is very glad it’s done. Reminded me a bit of a Sunday roast. You spend hours cooking it – and it’s gone before the oven’s even cooled down! Here we are yesterday, getting set…. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail…

YouTube Tuesday – A Million Thank you’s

YouTube Tuesday – A Million Thank you’s

Hello there. Thanks for stopping by. Just a quickie as they say. well, actually, not so quickie! But a fresh, very simple approach to saying Thank You. How often do we say Thank You? I’m forever thanking people for their help, gifts, friendship. Especially at this time of year. I used this fab Thank You stamp only a couple of days ago,  on the January 3rd blog. It really is a handy set. This is a neat way to create…
