Hello Everyone....Wow my poor Blog won't know whats happening I don't post for ages then we have half a dozen in a week! Let me tell you about my new adventure...
Clarity South West has been an idea born ...as I find all best ideas are. At the ungodly hour of 3 am one morning, While listening to Taxi door's being slammed, and the late night chorus of revelers calling goodnight to each other.
This was a Friday night... well Saturday morning and Barbara Gray was due on TV in a few hours time, I pad downstairs open the back door to let the dogs out who are now convinced it's time to get up. I'm wide awake so the kettle goes on and one by one the dogs come back in... Sitting drinking tea and flicking through a magazine, I began thinking wouldn't it be great if we had a craft club of some kind, something, anything. alas all signs of crafting life stops at Bristol there is very little in the south west at all. This idea bugged me for ages then I heard of a Clarity Workshop starting up in the Norfolk area. This idea played in my mind off and on for a few weeks. I eventually Contacted Barbara Gray and then then met with Barbara briefly at the NEC. In November. Clarity South West was born. For those who maybe interested. My group is based in Plymouth. We meet once a month and are purely a Clarity stamping group Our next meeting will be On Thursday 14th March at Plymouth City Bus Social Club from 10 am till 2pm....we are a friendly bunch so do come along and join the fun hope to see you there
oh Bernie you do maje me laugh.
ReplyDeletemost times the best... just the best ideas are born in the middle of the night. I have to say this is one of your best ones.
This is a great card and I am sure your ladies(& gents?) will love making it.

have a fab day x
Thank you Linda...Glad you like the card we have a wide range of abilities in the group from seasoned crafter's to total beginners I hope this card will have something for everyone.
DeleteWhat a great idea that was, Bernie. Sadly, there seems to be a severe shortage in our area too. I am not really in a position to do anything about it as I am just a beginner . I will keep hoping that there is someone on the borders of Worcestershire and Warwickshire just waiting to get the idea in the middle of the night. Good luck with your venture. I am sure it will be a great success. xx Maggie
