Hi there! Thanks for stopping by on this Monday morning. Monday’s blog is Trees & Flowers, so I have decided to play with one of the best trees in the Claritree Collection: The Pear Tree. Of course, most of us are programmed to associate the Pear tree with the Partridge, and we have a fabulous partridge, drawn by our good friend Mel. Large Little But let’s step away from Christmas for a moment, and just make a lovely bright general greeting…
Hello there. Thanks for stopping by again. I do appreciate it. Especially today. Sunday’s Blog a step-by-step. Apologies for being a little later than usual, but I have to confess, my day didn’t start out well. I am sure you know what I mean when I say that I allowed somebody to sow something in my head, just a little seed. But before I could process it intelligently, it had sprouted into a mammoth issue, and my head became a full…
Hello there! Saturday’s blog a new technique? To who? To me? To you? Looking out of the window today, it’s a grey day. So let’s get out the Clarity Window Stamp and let our imagination create a lovely scene!

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by each day this week;Friday already. Private peek…. Grace and I met a fabulous woman in Central Park the other day; Her name is Mary Jones. We were walking away from the Boathouse (check out last Friday’s blog! It’s hilarious!) and a black lady called over to us. She was standing by the railings on the corner. “Do you like Poetry?” she asked. “Of course,” we replied and walked over to her. A little cautiously,…

Hello there! Thanks for stopping by this windy Wednesday. Up with the lark this morning! I figure if I get up early, I will have more time to spread my day out…(?) Wednesday’s blog is something new, so how about a brand new fabby stencil, designed by none other than our JO RICE! So we decided to appropriately call this particular design: Jo’s Bubbles. And what a pleasure it has been to play with! I spent a very pleasant evening…

Hello there! Can you believe it’s Monday again ??! Comes round so fast – I had so much I wanted to do this weekend, and did next to none of it. Is she going grey?! Oh yes! Mind you, I did record 4 new YouTube videos Saturday morning, and prep some TV projects, so that I can cope better with all the daily grind stuff, which seems to be coming in thick and fast. And there is SO MUCH ART…
Hello there! Thank you for stopping by this Sunday. Tipped down in the night here, so the air is fresh, mild and lovely this morning.

Here goes: Use up one of the little pieces of white card which came in the Gelli Card Packs and drag Grunge Paste through the Ginkgo…
Hello there, Thanks for stopping by. Can you believe it? This blog is a year old? Actually, the official birthday was on Thursday, but we were so busy, I spaced my own birthday! What’s it coming to ??? Haven’t missed a day, and have really really learned loads. You too? Yes, I have. 367 blogs on the spin. I am quite chuffed with that, you know. So often in my life I have abandoned projects, given up halfway through. So…
