Small Business Sunday Winners Event - Edgbaston Stadium

WOW! What more can I say, as if winning the Small Business Sunday Tweet back in September 2011 wasn't enough, last Friday 30th March I attended the #SBS Winners event at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham and met the delightful Theo Paphitis himself.

The Car
Tia Lush and myself

 I finally got to meet the lovely Tia Lush herself from whoatemycrayons.com; Tia has spent hours on the other end of the computer re-designing my giraffe logo and creating leaflets and business cards from the Lizajdesign images, highly recommended!

Putting faces to Twitter names and fellow designers

I also had the opportunity to meet other successful Small Business Sunday Winners who often are on the other end of Twitter for advise and fellow notonthehighstreet.com crafty designer suppliers. From Left to Right- in red Jo from 3blondebears.co.uk, myself dressed in the signature orange and with my giraffe mascot, Gabriella in lime from moobaacluck.com and Becky at the front from dotsandspots.co.uk , oh and the lady in the red spotted top in the background is the delightful Heidi from Giddy Kipper!

Theo Paphitis gave us a wonderful and inspiring long talk about business and the developments of the Small Business Sunday, creating a new logo and a fantastic website designed and hosted by Chris Wheeler @metalfrogst who happens to be based in East Anglia too!
The new website is www.theopaphitissbs.com

After taking the time to talk to us all Theo Paphitis presented us with a winners certificate and the opportunity to have our photograph taken professionally.

Mother's Day don't forget "Mum's to be..."

It has been a while since Lizajdesign has 'blogged' mainly because it has been a busy time in the Lizajdesign studio!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I recall when I was due with my first child, my expectant date was supposed to be before Mother's Day fell and I kept wondering will I be a mother on Mother's Day? As it happened I was overdue so missed that day for that year, but it has been made up since!

Mother's Day is also a day for expectant mum's to be! The Lizajdesign website home page has a showcase of hand painted picture canvases made for your nursery for that finishing touch in preparation to finally becoming a mum! Hand painted canvases have a delivery time of up to 21 days so order early if you want to get the nursery prepared and finished for when that day finally arrives.
