Saturday Share: As Christmas Draws Near…
Hello hello! Grace here.
Welcome to this week’s Saturday Share… the last before actual Christmas!
This one feels a little special, as I’ve arrived back in the UK this week and am slowly finding my feet again (and my slippers!). There’s something about coming home at this time of year that makes everything feel both busy and tender all at once — the lists, the weather, the “nearly Christmas” feeling quietly humming in the background.
As always, putting the gallery together this week has been a lovely reminder of why the Saturday Share and our Clarity community matters so much. Among the festive colours and thoughtful details are moments of calm, creativity, and connection — little pauses created with stamps, inks, parchment, and time taken just for yourself.
Whether you’ve been making with purpose, making for joy, or simply making to switch your brain off for a while, this week’s collection is full of heart. Settle in, have a scroll, and enjoy this snapshot of creativity as Christmas draws ever closer. Oh! And enjoy singing this little ditty to yourself! We had some fun with this…
On that happy and festive note, let’s jump in…

Amaaaaazing!! I have to say, the cards shared this week are really lovely. You can see the care that’s gone into each one, and it’s so nice to spot everyone’s style and confidence shining through.
Thank you, as always, for sharing your creativity so generously on Clarity Worldwide and Groovi Worldwide. Each piece added to the Saturday Share carries a little moment of calm and focus, and that really matters.
Thank you also for sharing how you’re feeling with me in the comments last weekend! I read every reply and it was nice to hear how you’re all managing. Like the poem reflects on… If the run-up to Christmas feels a bit hectic, I hope this gallery reminds you it’s okay to pause, make for the sake of making, and just enjoy the process. Take a scroll, leave a comment if something catches your eye, and remember — whether you’re ready for Christmas or not, you’re always welcome here. The Saturday Share is about showing up just as you are, and that’s more than enough.

Hiya Grace,
What a heart warming Saturday share, made me feel all warm and cosy. Thank you for all you’ve done and continue to do. You have been such a kind person to me. Have a lovely Christmas, enjoy every moment xXx
Hi Grace, I love the poem that you have written for us this week & thank you for choosing my card that I gave to my Mom yesterday. I have enjoyed making the cards to send to family & friends again this year. There has been a lot of inspiration on the FB pages as well – I am always amazed how many different options people have come up with using the same set of stamps or plates.
The way Christmas falls this year it gives everyone a nice break which is nice. Enjoy your time at home with the family xx
Hi Grace. Great choice this week. I particularly like Andrea’s bauble card.
Thanks for choosing the makes each week. I’ve been fortunate to be picked a few times. 😊
Have a lovely Christmas with your family. Enjoy special times with your mum. 🫂 X
Oh Grace I love the poem & all this weeks makes (was surprised to see mine there though). My original plan was to give them away but I liked them so decided to keep them all. It was a real pleasure (most of the time) doing them. As the days have been getting more hectic I find myself just stamping an image then getting out my pencils and setting about colouring in. It really, really does calm one down and enables you to just relax and breathe, even if it’s only half an hour at a time. Thank you so much for all you and the entire Clarity team do for us all. Hope you have a lovely festive holiday xxxx
Loved the poem!! Beautiful artwork – I love seeing it every week.
Thank you, Grace, for another year of the “share”. I wish you , your family and everyone at Clarity a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I too loved the poem. Glad you arrived safely in the UK and hope you and all your family have a lovely time. Bet there will be plenty of laughs and hugs.
Beautiful work as usual. Love Sue Carpenter’s.
Take care.
Loved the poem Grace. Hope you all have a wonderful time over Christmas. It’s so lovely to have the family together for Christmas. We have our daughter and both grandchildren with us for Christmas lunch it will be utter chaos but fun. I will be there with my cuppa on Christmas morning. Q
The poem needs to be framed and put on a craft room wall. I may have a go at that in the New Year but only if you don’t mind.
The selection this week is as varied and beautiful as usual.
This Christmas is going to be very different to our past ones but nevertheless we plan to enjoy it as much as we can.
Wishing everyone a magical Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.
