Good morning. Thanks for popping in! It’s very early and I’m up with the larks, because I have to go to work and meet up with Jim, before he goes on holiday for a fortnight. There are a few things we need to tie up, so to speak, before he can fly away! So I’m thoroughly enjoying the big new open, empty space that is my new artroom. You know that adage, it’s going to get a whole lot worse…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m actually having a day off today, but just wanted to share yesterday’s event with you, before we trundle off to the coast for the day, for a spot of fresh air… Now you may think this is just hype, that it’s all flannel, that I have to say positive things to stay in favour with the powers that be. Let me tell you the truth: I had so much fun! It was a pleasure from…
Hi there! Well, it’s Thursday today, and I’m having a Pre-Christmas blast on TV with Nigel, Leonie and Dave. 8am launch. That’s when we will introduce you to our new and rather super duper little Custom Christmas Concept. Then it’s 11am, 2pm, 4pm and 7pm. It’s been a quick turnaround, what with German TV on Tuesday, and all that jazz. Long days, short nights, and plenty of stress in between. So I’m afraid it just isn’t going to stretch to a…
Hello there. Wednesday already?? Something new. Scrambling big time today. Got back from Germany late late last night. Something new. Up to Peterborough this afternoon, for the Big Clarity Christmas Day tomorrow. Something new. I’m a stickler for prep, and I hate hate not being 100% prepared. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail! I’ve still got a few things which need tending to… Something new. So, just a quickie to let you know about Something new !!! A Brand New…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. Just a very quick lesson on How to use Clarity StampStamps. These are going to be on the Clarity Christmas show on Thursday in the afternoon, but whether I get to demo them is another thing. So I just wanted to show them off here, because in my opinion, they have to rank in the Top 10 Best Ideas Clarity ever had! Let’s make a quick tag. Well not that quick, unless you buy…
Good Morning Monday Crafters! Thanks for stopping by. Monday’s blog is trees & flowers, right? So here’s a quickie, using an inky splosh on our square white Gelli Plate Card as a starting place. Distress pads used here: Mustard Seed Peeled Paint Spiced Marmalade. Daubed on with a Clarity Brush, then spritzed lightly with water. mmmm….where is she going with this? if she knew, she would be the first to tell you! Right. Get some trees out and stamp them…
Hello and Happy Sunday! Thanks for stopping by. Excited to welcome you into my new artroom. It’s a little sparse and the keyboard taps are echoing as I type, but the roof is on, the lights are on, the internet is connected – what more can I ask? I’ve got a stash of this and that, and the money plant came upstairs with me. It’s needs some proper space to breath – just like me. Incredibly, this huge plant started…
Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. It’s the weekend, YAY!!!! but I am meeting up with Dee at work, to prep for the TV Shows next week. NOT SO YAY!!!! But hey! This too shall pass, one day at a time… Here’s a 6″ x 6″ Gelli Plate remnant, which I dolled up with a funky leaf or two. See what you think. Remember this sorry looking print, which we converted to a respectable Friendship Card, using a young girl called…
Hello there! Thanks for popping in. I’m afraid I am running a little late again today, but that’s okay. The last few weeks have been so busy in Retreat Zone, I haven’t really looked up, except to say, “Are you still with me?” or “Everybody happy?” or “OK, so let’s move on…” Yesterday was the last day, so it was very strange this morning to wake up when I woke up, instead of 5am! Needless to say, it was gone…
Good Morning! Thanks for stopping by. It’s the crack of sparrows here, but I am loving this time of the day; may just have to make a habit of getting up in the wee small hours – even after the retreats are over. I regret to say that today is the last day of all the workshops. All the days have been enjoyable, and the guests delightful. I do hope that they all enjoyed it, and got what they came…
