Get Christmas gifts all wrapped up!

Christmas is getting closer and many of us are planning presents and gifts already!

I was approached by Nicola from It’s a wrap Cornwall to create some Christmas chocolate wrappers to be used exclusively by them; so on a day we had a freak heat wave at the end of September, there I was, sat inside drawing snowflakes and snowmen! - I have added a couple of my designs below which Nicola has since used and adapted to chocolate bar wrappers where you can add a personalised message!

 

What a fabulous idea! I am going to get some of these for Grandparents and teachers for Christmas – I may even get my daughter to design her own wrappers as well!

For further details on these great gift ideas, please have a look at www.itsawrapcornwall.co.uk and here is a sneaky peak at the Christmas gift product sheet I designed for them too!

Merry Christmas gift shopping to you all! xxxx

On Saturday 1^st October 2011, I did my very first colourwheel creative stand at an event.

The event I chose for such a momentous occasion was the Business and Baby show run by the Mumsclub team in Solihull!

It was a very early start and a long day but my colourwheel team (which consisted on myself, my mum and my daughter(!)) really enjoyed ourselves! I had lots of enquiries about work on the stand and really enjoyed talking to all the enthusiastic mums visiting!

There were so many stands and services for all those attending who were considering starting their own business or wanting to look into franchise opportunities… there was even an area known as Mumpreneuralley which was a line of stands of Mums who have taken the initiative and started their own businesses selling items form toys to tights!

The children were entertained by some fabulous businesses providing arts and craft activities, soft play and even face painting!

The mumsclub team had worked hard to arrange a series of speakers on the day talking about various aspects of business such as marketing, social media etc… It really was very well put together.

If you didn’t manage to make it this year – look out for future ones as I think anybody wanting to have flexible work around a family, or even to start your business when the children are at school age could benefit hugely from such an event.
