Saturday Share Time!
Hello hello! Grace here.
I hope this finds you safe, happy and enjoying your Saturday morning.
How are you? Well, I hope!
I think I brought the rainy weather with me to Brooklyn! It was raining most of the time I was in England, and then apparently this week has been lovely! But it’s been almost non-stop rain here in NYC since I landed a week ago. Ah well! It’s been nice to stay in, catch up and get my life together a bit. There’s almost always an upside, my friends!
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming… The Saturday Share Blog! A weekly artwork gallery of YOUR cards, selected with love and appreciation from Clarity Worldwide and Groovi Worldwide.
Grab that cup of whatever soothes you and enjoy these gorgeously impressive makes with me…

WOW. Aren’t they sensational?
I really enjoyed making the selection this week. So many beautiful pieces of hand-crafted artwork to choose from, but these really grabbed my attention. BRILLIANT!
I hope those of you who will be at the retreats this week have a FABULOUS time. Do let me know in the comments if you’ll be there 🙂 And if you can’t be there, have you heard about the new online workshop Mum is organising?! A perfect opportunity to get involved, if the distance or cost is a problem for the in-person retreat. It’s going to be so much fun! You can explore more, HERE.
Right, must dash. It’s almost 7pm on Friday night now. The day just got away from me! But hey… it’s raining, so where else would I be? 😉
Travel gently, friends.
Lotsa love, Grace xoxo

Beautiful selection Grace as always, and I dont know how I’ve missed half of them. Busy week I guess. But now for a week it’s time to relax. 1st weeks holiday with my Man since 2018. Lots of love Tina.xx
Beautiful artwork. I can’t make the retreats to to my health. However, I’m really looking forward to Barbara’s online workshop. Having recently retired, I now have time to experiment and step out of my comfort zone and learn something new. I shall be decorating my bedrooms so there is a place on the wall waiting to hang my new art form.
Happy days
Heather 😊🦋🌻
Great selection, Grace: thank you.
Not able to attend the retreats but have booked for the online course: so looking forward to it as collage is completely new to me, but I do love a challenge, and trust your mum completely to set something amazing and doable.
I too welcome an enforced stop in life to re-group, re-think and plan – long may “rain stop play” be a thing (not every day though eh? 😂)
Hi Grace, sorry you have had a rainy week but it was nice to see the sun here although they have forecast it to be really really hot on Monday so not so good. Don’t you wish you could set the temperature outside like we do the central heating !! There have been some fantastic pieces of artwork this week & its nice to see some new names appearing on the FB pages as the Clarity Family grows.
I have had a busy week making 9 40 page A5 notebooks with blue paper for one of my granddaughters for her to use for making notes for each of her GCSE subjects. She has a blue overlay to help her read books but that is not so easy when writing so hopefully all will be easier for her from now on. Used my non Clarity stash of papers for the covers but have just thought we could make labels to go on the front of each book using the the doodle dies & alphabet stamps so watch this space !! Now I can get back to my WIP projects that I found whilst having a tidy up.
I have signed up for the new workshop & I am looking forward to doing something different. Still papercraft but it will need to be a little more precise when cutting the pieces I would think so they fit together but we will see when we get started.
Will catch up with you tomorrow for Sunday’s project, meanwhile have a good weekend & for those going to the Retreats have a wonderful time x
Looking forward to the retreat next week and trying something different. Anything in the company of like minded people and led by your amazing mum is great, but the collage is going to be something special. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Xx
Lovely selection of art. I was just going out to do a bit of gardening, and dead head my tall yellow daisy flower jungle when it started to rain, so came in to have my clarity blog fix. I have signed up for the new workshop, and looking forward to trying something different. Have a lovely weekend all, I’m off to check on the weather again. xx
You’ve made my day Grace, thank you! I’m very honoured that my card is amongst your Saturday Share selection this week.
I’ve recently joined the Clarity community and I’ve found everyone so friendly and welcoming. 😊
At the beginning of my journey, it’s great to have your Mum driving the bus, the wonderful Clarity Team providing the back up and the company of all the lovely and talented passengers!
I’ve got a ticket for the online workshop bus too! 😂

Hi Grace.
Wow, thanks for picking my embroidery sample. It’s not mounted as I’m doing a set for myself. Realised that most things I make I give away, so treating myself to some art. 😊
Lots of lovely samples this week, love Rosemary Humphris and Jane Gradwell’s cards, but they’re all great.
Have fun. Stay happy. X x X
Hi Grace, lovely selection ! Almost nippy here today although no cardi needed ! Been a bit tied up this week with my niece who, finally, has just this minute been admitted into hospital to sort out the lumbar puncture they did this week, obviously something amiss.
Looks like two hot days ahead so might get out in garden in a minute to deweed another patch. Managed my ironing this morning so feel I’m ticking off the odd job or two.
Can’t do the retreats but have booked for the online one !
Have a good weekend x x
Grace, what a magic gallery of amazing artwork you’ve chosen for us to enjoy! There are some very talented Clarity crafters out there! I’m looking forward to taking part in the Retreat next week, and I’ve signed up for the online workshop with your Mum! Really excited for Barbara and the new ventures she has in store for us!
I’m back home now so have really enjoyed this weeks selection of fabulous artwork – I really don’t know how you manage to choose. I’m also really looking forward to the retreat next week – it’s my treat to myself, although I could drive each day I prefer to stay over & get the chance to catch up with like minded people. My little bit of heaven. Hope your weather gets better soon xxxx
Thank you Grace for the lovely selection, as always! I am inspired week by week by the amazing artwork that is produced!
Take care and jump in some puddles! xxx
Wonderful gallery by our talented Clarity family. Great choices as always Grace. I love looking through Facebook at everyone’s art – I look more closely since I have helped with the Saturday share and it’s always hard for me to choose- Thankyou for posting your work – if you haven’t before give it a go.
Sorry you took the rain home Grace but I’d rather have rain than 30plus degrees- which is what we are expecting again. I’m looking forward to spending time with everyone at the retreat next week on the first 2 days. Last minute decision and so excited- what a treat. Mums new online venture is such a great idea – I’m sure it will be very successful.
Take care lovely Grace. Hope you get some sun !
The online workshops are a genius idea. I happen to put an order in the other day for something else and received an email for the workshop by mistake. Ha ha, I looked into the workshop and just couldn’t resist! I have missed out on a few things (internet has been off 3 weeks and just came back yesterday) so have so much to catch up on – teapot, kimono, managed to watch the craftalong with Jayne’s stamps this morning so will be trying to make the card.
Hi Grace. Busy weekend so a bit late to the party! Lovely selection of projects as always.xx
Hi Grace – finally catching up after a busy weekend! I always love the wonderful creations you find in the Facebook groups – as always there are some absolute gems in here that I’ve missed during the week!
I’m ready for the retreat tomorrow – looking forward to catching up with friends and putting faces to some of the names from the Clarity community xx
