The Saturday Share: Your Work, Our Weekly Wow

Hello friends! Grace here.

I’m popping in with something a little different this week — a Saturday Share dedicated entirely to the SHAC. As I was scrolling through our community pages, Clarity Worldwide & Groovi Worldwide, I kept stopping at these beautiful Christmas trees… and every single one traced back to Barbara’s recent SHAC episodes. They were so impressive — so varied, so characterful, so skilfully done — that I couldn’t resist making a whole gallery just for them.
(Don’t worry, all of the other epic non-SHAC cards shared this week will be taken into consideration for next Saturday’s blog too).

It really does show what a special space the SHAC is. Barbara (me Mam!) has this wonderful way of teaching — calm, clear, encouraging — that somehow gives you the confidence to try things you didn’t think you could. And the proof is right here in these drawings: thoughtful lines, clever shading, personal twists, and that unmistakable sense of “I made this myself!”

So when you’ve got a quiet moment, have a little wander through this week’s collection. Whether you follow the SHAC every week or haven’t dipped in for a while, I think you’ll enjoy seeing what can grow from a good lesson and a bit of time. Who knows — it might even nudge you to join in.

Cor!! They’re just FABULOUS, aren’t they?
Seeing all these different trees side-by-side really highlights how much can blossom from a single SHAC session — one calm hour, a few simple tools, and Barb’s steady guidance.

And if you haven’t joined her for a while (or you’ve never dipped your toe in!), this is actually the perfect moment. The two SHAC episodes I’ve embedded below are wonderfully gentle — proper “take a breath” sessions — and ideal for this slightly frantic run-up to Christmas. Make a cuppa, follow along at your own pace, unwind a little… and before you know it, you’ll have a beautiful hand-drawn design you can turn into a Christmas card. Peaceful and productive — a winning combination this time of year.

So if you’re feeling that pull to make something with your hands — or just need a quiet, friendly hour to reset — press play on Episode 1 below and let Barb guide you.

Before we wrap up, just a quick note: we’ll be on Clarity TV this Sunday, 7th December, from 3pm–5pm. If you’d like a bit of company while you craft — or simply enjoy watching a good demo or four — do join us. It’s a nice way to round off the weekend and spend your Sunday afternoon 🙂
