Phew- only 24 hours to go now and I'm at Sandown Park Racecourse- home of The Big Bead Show for the 3rd year running and once again we're taking over the large hall.
My first thought on entering the hall is the same as last year- how on earth are we going to fill this space?!
If I hadn't seen it first hand myself then I don't I would believe it possible that this large empty hall will tomorrow be filled with over 80 stands and thousands of beaders, bead makers and jewellery designers.
It's a busy day mapping out tables and chairs, making sure everyone has the spaces, tables, electricity etc they booked.
We also begin planning the layout of the room holding the finalists of The British Bead Awards- the winners of which I will have the job of announcing tomorrow.
Then it's off home to try and sleep with all the nerves and excitement!
