The more we share, the more we have!

Hi there. Grace here…

Happy Saturday morning (hopefully)!

Thank you for stopping by to read this ‘ere blog. It is much appreciated πŸ™‚

I wanted to let you know that we have decided to revamp this ClarityMatters blog come next week. Stuart and I will be running it now, giving dear Steven more time to work in other areas of the company. And we’ve decided that instead of pumping out a blog every day of the week, we’re going to scale back and refocus. I’ll tell you more next week, but essentially we’re going QUALITY over QUANTITY! I will still do my sharing blogs, because I get the feeling it’s very positive for our Clarity Community. And Stuart will be blogging too. Just not every day.

As I said, quality over quantity. We’re coming up with a schedule, as I know you like to know when and where. Consistency is key πŸ˜‰

So, on that happy note! Do you want to see this weeks cards?! Do ya? I CAN’T HEAR YOU AT THE BACK?!

Okay okay, here you go!

Aren’t they lovely? I have such a sense of pride that I get to share this artwork with you. The TIME and EFFORT that has gone into these cards! Let alone the creativity. All at a rather stressful time in our lives. You should be very proud of yourselves.

In fact, if you’ve done any crafting this week then I applaud you! I haven’t even washed my hair. It’s been one of those weeks. I’ll go do it now, I swear.

Lotsa love, Grace xo

    Goodness, they are just astonishing cards. Thanks to everyone who shared.

    Looking forward to hearing more on the new blog format. You can’t do everything with half the staff.

    As for your hair, some weeks are just like that when you work at home – and a hat covers a lot of things, if you don’t. It’s important to keep your hair virus free though, so you keep that promise, our Grace. And sing out if it is misery rather than lack of time that meant it got left. I’m sure stress levels will drop just with an election result and the disappearance of pundits but there is a small matter of a pandemic, work, family….

    Lol. I might need to wash my hair as well to save me doing it tomorrow morning! It’ll be interesting to see what you have planned for the blog. Have a good weekend and try and switch off from the world around you. Hxx

    Hi Grace you have chosen some gorgeous cards to share with us. I am looking forward to the new format. I was wondering on this blog you can save your details so when you are commenting it saves a bit of time. This can’t be done on your mum’s blog. I just wanted to point this out. It is not a moan more of an observation. Have a good weekend. Hugs xxx

    Hi Grace, look forward to hearing what you & Stuart have lined up for us with the Claritymatters blog.
    Another great selection of cards again this week. I will post my latest Groovi card now I have delivered it to my Mom who loved it. Realised when i came to put the flowers on that they were exactly the same colour as the parchment so got lost so didn’t add them this time but they will be on her next card as before we know it – it will be Mothering Sunday – I know it isn’t until March but the way this year has flown by it will soon be here.
    We had a virtual birthday party this morning for Mom on zoom. the little ones were amazed when they blew hard the candles went out. They also loved the cake we passed through the screen – they are 3,2 & 1 but then the 2 older ones felt left out as I had forgotten to message their mom they are 15 & 10 so she managed to find them a jam tart & a candle each.
    Hope Dave has a great day as well today – Happy Birthday Dave !!

    Inspiring collection of cards, such talent.
    Having always had short strait hair I am getting desperate now. No hair cut since January and no home hairdresser. As it grows like a weed it is now down to my collar bones and unmanageable !!! I hate doing my own hair. I was told post chemo that it may come through with a wave or a curl but keeping it fairly short I never noticed before. Now I have wavy lengths and curly ends, looks quite nice when it behaves so I suppose that is the upside of covid.
    Looking forward to seeing the new format of Matters blog. Anything you can do to relieve stress is good.
    Happy hairwashing.
    Stay safe.

    Hi Grace, lovely gallery of cards once again, so many talented people. I have just been watching Sky news with scenes in New York and it looks like lovely weather there, people dancing in the street in t- shirts. Hope you are making the most of it.
    Stay safe xx

    I’ll be sad to lose my twice daily dose of Clarity, but I know how much work it is with everything else you do. This blog and your Mom’s have been a haven for me this year. At least you waited until now. I think that life is going to be getting better now.

    Brilliant cards as always. Helen Stevens’ card really reflects my mood right now.

    Hi Grace, Such beautiful and inspirational cards showcased here, well done everyone, I am in awe of you all.
    I’m looking forward to seeing the new schedule going forward, and ‘quality’ is always better than ‘quantity’.
    Enjoy your weekend.
    Love, Patricia xx

    Stunning cards as usual but I really love the set of poppy flower cards. It looks like you’re having an Indian summer in New York. Definitely not tee shirt weather here!
