Last demo of 2007

Saturday was my last demo of 2007, and it was a biggun - 2007's last demo day at the crafting cathedral known as Colemans warehouse store in Rushden, where I was demoing alongside three other companies. As well as the usual goody bags, the store had over 100 Impress die cutting machines, all with a tenner off the current special offer price. At some points, it was quite frantic, but that's how I prefer it. The most tiring kind of demo is one where there's some big rugby match on (crafters like the big thighs apparently) and you're on your own all day. Mine was the second demo of this demo 'loop' at the store, so I made a few different projects (when I wasn't cutting a million shapes on the Impress!).

Adam and I were heading to Rochdale Saturday evening for a 40th birthday party, and there wasn't really time for me to go home after the demo. This left Adam with the choice of driving back and forth, or sitting in the car with a big pile of books and apples. Rushden is an hour towards Rochdale from home, so he chose the latter, and took these piccies as I tidied up (shame he didn't tell me to fluff my hair up!). There was a third option - to go up with another friend - I'm selfishly glad he stayed with me though, as it would have been a long and grotty journey to do alone.
