Katrina, what are your mother's and grandmother's first names?

Kathy and Mildred (remember her most by Grandmother Mikell though :)


Oh and I would not mind at all with omitting mine and my mothers name and just using my grandmothers or not nescisarily (sp?) her name, but just grandmothers....

Oh Katrina, I had the same problem with Opening a Florist/Gift Shop...and came up with a Great Name/Logo for it.

I read your post and it just hit me....Now mind you I am always thinking of the Graphic End...Visual Identity is the biggest Appeal and a name that connects with that...something that sticks in People's minds so....I'm going to give you the Graphic Presentation first....Have a cup of Tea and sit back and visualize this......

How about a Stylized letter 'K' and then under it in Upper Case the letter 'B'...and then in lower case 'loom'...and then end it with an Upper Case 'S'...Then followed with an Exclamation Mark.....'!'....So it would look like(Boy I wish I could use more HTML Coding Here)...All Centered tho.

K
BloomS!

This is a Play on Words....With the Word.....Kaboom!
You could even work the lower case 'l' into being a flower stem rising and Blooming.
I think this incorporates everybody very well even your Neice with the letter 'S'.
With a BFA in Graphic Design with an Emphisis in Typography....Plus that wonderful Masters in Marketing I am just itchin to draw this here on the Screen and sell it to you...But to no avail.

So to make my Presentation complete. My entry would be:
~~~K BloomS!~~~
Plain and Simple.....But to the Point!
Think about it awhile...and finish that cup of Tea...Say it a few times....."K BloomS"!..."K BloomS"!..."K BloomS"!...
It has a nice Ring to it...If I say so myself.
I'll send you my bill!...LOL

ZZ.

ZZ - creative idea! :-) You send her the bill and she can send me the freebie prize!

ZZ, you remind me of Darren Stephens making a presentation to Larry Tate... but, I still like mine...!

None (including mine) of the great names submitted seem to really target the CONTAINER aspect of the business, which might be the main feature, apart from the cutting area. So, how about:
