Artful blogging from Glenda Waterworth

Well firstly, let me thank you all for your positive comments on the last post.  I have definitely frightened one person into withdrawing their auctions from ebay, but another has cropped up, so it’s an ongoing battle which we’ll continue to fight the best we can. Anyway, here I am in sunny Florida, but not [...]

This is a message to all those people who buy craft CDs and sell counterfeit copies on Ebay, at car boot sales or anywhere else for that matter:  YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW AND WE WILL PROSECUTE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT POSSIBLE. You know who you are and if you are reading this, yes I [...]

In the last three weeks I have drastically changed my life.  Seriously, there has been a completely radical change in my attitude towards food.  Adrian has been warned about diabetes a few times over the years by his GP and long time blog readers will probably know that he lost a lot of weight early [...]

I can hardly keep up here with all the new stamps we have coming out.  A couple of weeks ago we released a new Seashore Collection to trade and it’s now all up on the Graphicus website.  In case you didn’t know, the Graphicus site has a “What’s New” page which tells you what has [...]

I needed to make a couple of birthday cards this week and this is a very quick and simple card that takes minutes to make.  It features our new Filigree Blocks and Loving Sentiments stamps, plus stamps from Retro Vases.  I used four shades of VersaMagic chalk ink in total stamped very simply onto white [...]

OK, we finally have two correct guesses.  This has been fun (for you too I hope) and you’ve certainly come up with some fantastic names.  Polly and I are very impressed at all the dedicated research that has obviously gone on, I can picture a flurry of Googling and map searching going on across the [...]

Hmm, well some of you are getting closer, but still no one has got it right.  I can say now that it is NOT Barny, though he and his friends do actually live in and around ‘Bearnard’ Castle … Your second clue is in the comments of the previous post – Veronica has got the [...]

No one has guessed correctly, so the first clue is that the name has some connection to the North East of England. Keep guessing!

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to someone.  This is maybe not what you would expect from an Elusive Images stamp, but this is the first of a brand new range of stamps, by a new and very talented designer called Polly Greathead. His name must remain a mystery for a little [...]

Summer Food Festival Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th August 2009 I have been invited to take part in a local event at Thorpe Farm Peel House this August. Thorpe Farm were one of the very first customers of Graphicus back in the days when I was a bit of a Xyron specialist and they used [...]

Well it’s been one of THOSE days.  Plagued by last minute problems on the Brocade CD, Lesley and I had a batch of file crunching stuff to do at home today and what happened – severe thunderstorms knocked off the power this afternoon when we were only about an hour away from finishing.  Grrr. This [...]
