more Maxspace

I figured out how to make the page private, so you can't see it unless you're a friend. Max LOVED the ninja turtles and the pictures of himself. He reads fairly well, so he also enjoyed reading his biography. He squealed with delight to see his own page (he's always rather loud when excited). I think you have to be at least a teenager, like 13 or so, in order to use myspace so I haven't decided if I should delete the account or not. I haven't yet because it's all in good fun for me, but there are so many predators out there; it's a little scary once I thought it all the way out.

My project will cover the basic start-up of a small business and all the visuals associated with beginning a small business. Over the summer, I put my brain-child into effect with a friend and we're starting a personal chef/delivery service. We had our first event this weekend when we catered a wedding for 75 people. Our main focus, however, will not be catering but we booked another wedding for October! The question my project will (hopefully) answer is how do we attract customers? Where do we look for our clients? We hope our visual aids will work for us to that effect. We are designing a logo with our company name, Coriander & Cloves, for business cards, a giant magnet for our cars, our website and printed flyers. We also took lots of pictures of the reception this weekend for our myspace page and blog. We had lots of fun making all the food and serving it, too, because we weren't working for anybody but ourselves: we got all the credit for the food! It was a great feeling. I'm looking forward to our next big thing with a little less trepidation since we pulled this one off with such success (we did enlist the help of neighbors and friends towards the end; now we know how much we can do alone in 24 hours so next time we will be better equipped to plan our time accordingly).
Ok, I've tried to upload some of the pics but it keeps saying void so I'll have to try again from a faster connection.
