I'm down in Arundel today to work in the office and the atmosphere is a complete mix of excitement and anxiety!

Our 3rd Big Bead Show is on this weekend and it's our biggest yet.

Advance tickets sales are nearly 100% higher than last year and the phones are constantly ringing with people wanting tickets, parking queries etc.

Of course one of the main decisions we all have is what jewellery will we wear on the day?

I think I have finally made my decision (the reversible rivolis from the cover of issue 18) and as the lovely girls in the office aren't beaders themselves, I've brought in a range of projects from past and future issues for them to choose- none of them will go with the t-shirts they'll be wearing on the day, so we'll see on Saturday what decisions have been made!
