Hi there Great gifts or what? There’s nothing like a handmade gift. And small is good too. Something that firstly doesn’t take yonks to make, and secondly doesn’t intrude. You know what I mean. I think most of us crafters love to make for friends and family, but many of us also worry that our work might not be to the other person’s liking. I really get it. My guess is that’s why we make cards and not wall hangings!…

Hi there How about a trip down Memory Lane? I remember designing these two Framer stamps many years ago. They were so popular, we developed a whole collection of “O” Stamps. Can you remember them all? They all come with fabulous little scene-building stamps too. I guess these were the first designs we came up with, where you created little scenes within a frame, a shape. We’ve certainly been on that trail ever since, haven’t we?! I have asked Tom…

Sleep well x Love and clarity, Barb x x…
Hi there. Yep. Thirty days to Christmas. This time next month it will be Christmas Day. Running this 100 Days to Christmas blog has actually been a real eye opener on just how quickly time flies. Which makes me think hard about what we do with our precious time, friends. I mean, how much of my precious time do I waste? Literally waste. It’s a funny old game, LIFE, isn’t it? Still beats the alternative though! I guess work hard…
31 days to Christmas?!? You’re joking! Where is the time going?? All I keep saying is, “Well, I’ve ordered the turkey!”. As if that is an indicator that I’ve got things under control. Ha Ha Ha. And so to my old mantra, ONE DAY AT A TIME. As soon as I say that to myself, I immediately feel relief. Believe me when I say that any anxiety I may be experiencing has nothing to do with Christmas. I really am…
