Its a Wrap!

Its a Wrap!



Hi there!
Thanks for popping in.
Just about had enough of present wrapping for one day.
Have run out of gift-tags, which will amuse my Mum.
She always makes me a big batch of gift tags, 
beautifully stamped with little robins, tits and holly.



This year, when she gave them to me, 
I ribbed her, and asked her if she’d written her name in each of them too, which she found highly amusing. 
Imagine giving somebody a big bunch of gift-tags already written out to you !
Nope. Wrapping gifts is NOT my bag, so to speak. 
Having run a mail order company for over 25 years, 
and having spent the first 15 of them picking, packing and wrapping all the parcels,
I can’t say that wrapping presents is something I particularly relish.
I love the buying bit though! 

I have got something I really really want to tell you.
But I can’t ! Not yet. About a fortnight from now though.
I’m pretty good at keeping secrets if it’s best I do, actually.
But this particular piece of news I really really want to shout from the rooftops. But not yet.
Exciting? Yes
Big? Very
Game changer? Yes

What a tease I am !!!

Right change the subject before I cave. 

How about a beautiful card to distract you?
How about a few ?

This beauty is made by our good friend and one of the founding members of the Clarity Design Team, Elaine Milner.


She doesn’t do Facebook, 
and she has been poorly for quite a while now, 
but she still does the best shrink plastic in the business!
Elaine, if you’re reading this, I hope that 2017 is kind to you,
and that you are HAPPY xxx


Now here’s another beauty, kindly made for us by a very talented cardmaker: Rachel Howkins.
She has used our word Chain ABC here,


and combined it with some fabulous Groovi bells.
Look! Clearly a parcher!
Talk about detail!


And thirdly, here’s a super little jumper card,
made just for me by a young man in fact...


Thank you so much Matthew!
You are very clever!


Now THAT is COOL.



So now it’s time to wipe the counters in the kitchen and go to bed.
Random? Yep.
But my Mum’s arriving tomorrow and the first thing she will do is stroke the corian counters, because she loves the feel.
And the LAST thing I want is for her to get stuck!
Mmmm. Yummy!!!

Clarity Christmas Dinner tomorrow.
I’ll be sure to take loads of pics for this ere blog tomorrow !!!

Love & Hugs,
Barb
