Hi there Thanks for popping in. If you follow our TV shows, you will have noticed that during the past few months we have been taking a selection of our beautiful Groovi plates and stamps, have been reducing them in size, and have been re-naming them Bijou. Lovely word, lovely designs. It’s not that we have run out of ideas! Not at all! We just think that whereas back in the day large cards and big art were popular, now…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Proud Mum Moment here. Can you hear me smiling? Gotta shout about our Grace’s second narrated book which was released on Audible yesterday. Call me a doting mother if you like, but I’ve already listened to the first eight chapters – and YES YES YES! She has nailed it once again. What’s the title of the novel, I hear you ask… Invisible by Day Written by Teri Fink, Narrated and edited by GRACE GRAY…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Welcome back to this ere blog! Sorry it’s been a while again – it’s the busy season for us at Clarity! Mind you, I’ve always maintained that crafting is a winter sport, but since lockdown, I’m not so sure!! Many of us have taken to crafting all year round now! And since the Create & Craft merger with Hochanda, things have certainly picked up the pace there too. So many new viewers and customers!…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. When I opened the bedroom curtains early this morning, the sky was a beautiful pinky grey. Glorious. A room with a View. We actually have a wonderful collection of Room with a View dies, illustrated for us by our talented friend, Mel Turner. I love her work, and I particularly love this set. It reminds me of sitting on the bus from here to Brighton, and looking out over the South Downs from the…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Today has been a good day. We have good days and growing days – and today has been a good one ! I’m looking forward to tomorrow too. I’m looking forward to meeting up with my SHAC Buddies on Facebook LIVE at 10am. It’s been a while…I’ve doodled something lovely, which I know you’ll enjoy – and I always feel more comfortable when I know where the bus is headed! All you need is…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Up with the sky lark this morning. Restless night. So much to consider, to do, to think about. Our Queen’s death has had such a profound impact on so many, including myself. Speaking personally, I’ve never been one for crowds, even less so since COVID, so although we live very close to London, I choose to pay my respects to her good self and her family from a distance. Needed to get out of…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. I have spent the day cleaning, tidying, clearing out, pottering, listening to a brilliant book – and I feel so much better for it. Life has been so topsy turvy here for so long, a good old deep clean feels good. Whilst clearing a path through my SHAC artroom above the garage, I was thinking about all the new designs we’ve been rolling out and releasing during the past few months. So many really…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Hands up who’s joining us this evening, for a little arty get together with Linda Williams and myself? As promised, we are having a Parchment Craftalong at 7pm tonight, on Facebook Live and our Claritystamp Youtube. If you purchased Linda’s Groovi Christmas Treasures collection No. 2 a couple of weeks ago, then you’ll have the plates to craftalong. And if you didn’t, well maybe you just fancy a little company this evening, in which…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. There’s never been a better day for getting a gratitude list going here! That’s a fact! When things are just piling in and nothing seems to be going to plan, then it’s time to stop, put the kettle on, find a piece of paper and a pen – and take the time to say thank you to the universe for everything that is GOOD in life. And boy do I have lots to be…
Hello there. Grace and Barb here. I hope this finds you safe and well. What a sad time it is. The Royal family has lost a cherished Mum, a Grandma and the Head of their family. We’ve lost our beautiful Queen, the most steadfast, constant leader in the world. We felt it only right to pay tribute to our Queen. It is certainly the end of an era, and whilst we welcome King Charles, we will always have Elizabeth in…
