I did do try to post yesterday but it didn't work. I was just telling you what I great service the RNLI gave me when I signed up to give them a monthly donation. Within two days of this they had rescued me at Sea! It was at Perin Sands about 3 years ago. I never did like swimming pools but loved the sea? They Rescued 48 people that day because of some freak wave. So P for Pleasure yes Please may as well while we are here! X I can't wait to get my hands on this Stencil.

P is definitely for the pleasure that I get out of my craft. I know it will never make me a forture but I accept that, I just love creating things that I, and hopefuly others like. Love the stencil and as I was waiting for an order to arrive thought I would contact Clarity to see if I could add the stencil to it and as always they were extremely help and have added it to my order.

I read your blog this morning with my cuppa and tried to write a comment then but blogger wouldn't let me post it...so I'm doing it now I've come home!!!<br />My p for pleasure has to be using your marvellous products to create lovely things! Well I think they're lovely! Being creative is my release from the stresses and frustrations my job can bring me and it's something I can lose myself in!... It's odd as going back a few years I was told by my art teacher not to do art as an option as I hadn't got a creative bone in my body....how I'd love to meet up with him now!!! <br />Your blog especially Tuesday's always brings me pleasure and I find myself laughing out loud one minute, having my thoughts provoked the next! <br />That new stencil looks fab and I can't wait to see the stamps that go with it!!!<br />Right I'm off...love and hugs to you!

On doctors instructions I am about to try pilates, to help with arthritis. Well having checked it out on internet could be interesting. Watch this space! Youngest son into all sorts of sport, up and out this morning at half six to go to gym before work. Pleasure for me is definitely all sorts of craft, can sit for hours with some card and stamps, or some sewing. Love that stencil, look forward to seeing what else you do with it, as for selling it I bet it is already on most peoples wish lists. Certainly on mine. Just keep doing what you do Barb, you give pleasure to so many people.
