Just chatting
Good evening everyone.
Well. last night was my demo evening at the garden centre.
I had been asked to demo something to do with card making - so I chose to use my Cuttlebug & show different things to do with embossing folders & dies.
It was pretty busy early on & quite a few ladies were eager to be first to see what was going to be shown. I wasn't the only demonstrator for the evening, there was a lady showing crochet & a couple showing beaded work.
The evening had been arranged to show all the new Christmas products that the shop had brought in. They had a free raffle, some fizzy wine & little nibbles which made it a lovely event. I did have a moment during my early demonstration, as the ladies were putting their drinks on my table I was working on. With the possibility that when I used the Cuttlebug the table would shake I was really worried about my nice cards. Fortunately - no accidents occurred.
I had set up my table to work efficiently but also to show off card samples I had made & wanted to take a photo of it - but 3 ladies made themselves comfortable on chairs right in the front so I didn't get the chance.
It was a most enjoyable evening, as events like that usually are because of peoples genuine interest in craft. Also I had managed to choose some techniques that it would appear many of the ladies hadn't thought of trying - or even knew could be done. So I was quite pleased with the evening.
Today I have been busy putting everything away, getting rid of rubbish I produced & putting my Christmas cards away in a box ready to use later.
Well that was my day yesterday, & here we are at the weekend again.
Have a lovely time with whatever you have chosen to do.
'Bye for now.
