I debated sharing this, but it anything it'll give me something to reflect on for next year and hopefully someone will see it and offer some advice! www.boardgamesolutions.co.uk/blogs/news/u...

I've washed and left out to see if anything was salvageable and sadly not, 3d prints all have stain lines, wooden items cannot be sanded or restored. About £75 RRP of stock binned because someone was an arsehole

Normal service resumed

Had a scroll through the "haul" posts on FB and was feeling a bit sad at all the "just put a sticker on an Amazon bag/tray" stuff, then I saw one of our handmade octagon dice trays 😁

If you missed getting something at UKGE, I'm (slowly) adding the new products I made exclusively for the expo to the website, including some limited design notebooks!

Missing UKGE already? Me too. I wrote it all down before my middle-aged brain forgets it all, so if you want the perspective of a long-time attendee, first-time stand helper, here you go - punchboard.co.uk/uk-games-exp...

Woke up to item not received message Went to check the delivery information Mailed June 30th?!? Time machine? No, June 30th, 2024...

I'd like to thank the person during breakdown who threw trash into one of our boxes, ruining the stock that was in there

That's a wrap! Onwards to home, hopefully while it's still Sunday! A massive thank you to everyone who visited us! It really helps me to see folks liking things I've made!

We're near the Ares banner if you're looking for us on the last day of UKGE!

Day 3! Last morning waking up to this delightful view

Met some lovely folks today, thank you to everyone who stopped by! We've even sold out of some stuff!

Day 2!

Day 2! Nothing like a clash of cultures as drinking a mug of iced tea in bed for breakfast

Thank you to everyone who stopped by today 😀 One down, 2 to go!

If you're lucky enough to be at UKGE this weekend, pop along to see friend of the show @bags4dice.bsky.social , and then buy some of her lovely treasures! Tell her Albert says Hi! 😄

Home for the next 36ish hours

#ukge day one! Say hi if you see me! Stall 3A-T46!

The day has arrived. Roll on tonight when we've arrived and the stall is built!

It's #CraftWednesday! Do you have a game-related crafting project in progress? It could be a prototype, print and play, upgrading the components of a favourite game, making an accessory or even something larger like a table or games room. Share a picture and join in! Please RP!

95% packed 100% broken

Throwback to when I worked in an office and I used to drink Gatorade out of a mug because I didn't want them to think I was weird

It's our 3rd year having a stall at UKGE! We're in Hall 3A- stand T46 where we'll have our range of gaming accessories from dice bags and dice trays to card holders and token pots, and lots of stuff in-between. Say hi if you're passing us!

I am waving a white flag on today I started at 8:30am and it's now 11 I need to redo 4 signs in the morning because my brain isn't braining anymore

Last making day before UKGE I still have 2 backdrops and all of the signage to do Plus the game tokens and cards And an urgent live website order

This time next week, we MIGHT be home... (Well Mr K will probably be home because he doesn't have to charge the van on the way home like I have to with the car)

Adding a vital piece of equipment to our stall list but Google autofill has other ideas

Just what you want to see when you have to set up a stall and the hotel doesn't have AC

The desk fan has come out

The urge to make more pocket bags and ignore the fact I still have all the signage to do is strong I just want to sew 😭

Th Friday curse continues

The scars remind us that the past is real

The minute I finished work

I planned each part of every day this week on Sunday so I'm not printing price tags at 11pm on Tuesday night (like I was last year) and I did not take into account I had a doctor's appointment this morning. I also did not take into account they would be running late already at 9:30 this morning

Let's get critical

Had an idea during the night Got up early Think I'm pretty happy with it!

North Tyneside council at their finest this morning They had a contraflow with traffic lights last week This morning they've packed away the traffic lights but left the contraflow so you have to just gun it and hope no one is coming the other way, around a bend

I remember the words to every song on American Idiot but I need a reminder to hang the laundry up

Refreshing some stall signage this year, first up is a playmat for the counter

Bagging and tagging Sleepy pups got bored watching

I hope the number of till rolls that arrived are reflective of how many receipts I'll need to print at UKGE (I didn't read the quantity properly)

Just another classic Friday

Came home from Morrisons. Put bag of groceries on the kitchen counter. Went upstairs to see to the 3D printers. Came back down to this bag of 8 sausage rolls in the middle of the floor. Somehow still sealed yet missing 5 of them 🤔

The prep work doesn't stop, even when picking Mr K up from work

For the last 3 Fridays we've had really poor sales (in comparison to usual), will today be the same? Also hoping we break this curse before the Friday in 2 weeks time 🫣

A lovely wake up notification for a change 😁

Do keyrings need packaging? Would you be annoyed if you bought one just as it is? Would you not want to gift it if it didn't have packaging?
