Calling all Flavors

The hubby and I have decided to start taking the steps in following our biggest dream which is opening a catering company . I have started the business plan and a Marketing Plan but we could not for the life of anything , come up with a name . The first name I thought of was "sweet pea catering " which in my personal opinion sounded pretty cliche and so we brainstormed . Our brainstorming subjects have mostly been mindless thoughts but this time we had a Goal!! We thought of these words that are listed below and tried to come up with a fun and unique name . something that says " we are fun and Inventive" .
After reading that last line I have to say that sentence was not very inventive .... ha

and so here is the list


Tasty
Delicious
Delectable
Celebrations
Fiesta
Family

Flavors
Feats
Entree
Dish
Celebrations
spices

some names that came of this were

Delectable dishes ...... terrible
Celebrations Flavors.............ehhh sort of cheesy
Fiest Feats ......... this one makes me laugh
Tasty Flavors ..............ha this is just the same thought
Family Fiesta Catering .... no , no and no

After a glass of wine and about a thousand more ideas ,
Matt says " we want it to be a family name "

Me " We are a family Mr. Call"

Matt " What about something that is connected to that? .. what about our names?"

Me " Call flavor company" giggles

Me " Calling all flavors " This being said in a pinched nose voice on a intercom (atleast I was pretending it was"

Matt " That's perfect !!"

Me "oh yea ! Your right "

and so a name is born to a company that we will be starting in a few years !

If Tim Burton made a Bunny ....


It Would look like this. This is Mon Mon's Easter gift from me. I know she loves Tim Burton films just like her mother and I thought this would be the perfect gift for her for Easter . This photo shows the work in progress but once it was completed I had all of my sister's friends asking me to make one

Sewing At last





I have decided to learn some useful skills in my free time . Matt suprised me with a brand new sewing machine as a late Valentines Day gift . It has proven to be quite useful and very entertaining .







This is the first purse I have ever made , so it is not perfect but I absolutely love the pattern






Here on the right , I sewed a curtain for our window , just to add some color to our set up

Car #2


Okay so I know this is not the same car as you see in my previous post but here is the story . We had brought the "old" car to have the bumper reattached and fix the damage that was done by the accident and with in a few hours of dropping it off, we received a call notifying us that the car was a lost cause and deemed totaled because the frame has to be realigned . So to our suprise the insurance company refunded us the value of the oldsmobile and we had purchased a new car with in a week . This is our new car . It is a 2002 Chevy Imapala . A full tank lasts 3 weeks ! I don't know much about cars but I say this one is a keeper .
