Hi Everyone!

I wanted you all to know that I have decided to hang up my PC apron. It was a tough decision, but it was the best one for me to make. I'm a firm believer that God makes everything happen for a reason. I have decided to pay more attention to my Personal Chef business and get that up and running. I'm so excited, especially that I can use my FREE PC products at my cook dates.

Thank you to everyone for all that you have done in the last 2 years with all the questions I needed answered. I have loved hearing everyone stories and getting to know each of you better. I wish all of you the best of luck in 2007. God's Blessings and Go Cheffer's!!!

Katie :)

P.S.

If you go to Marketplace, I have a bunch of items I'm selling. Products, I never used, books, Cd's cookbooks, supplies and others take a look and let me know if you are interested.
 
Good Luck with your business! I do believe that God lets things happen for a reason too. Follow what He is telling you to do...God Bless!
 
Good luck- did you ever decide a name for the Chef business?

It has it's good days and bads, but thankfully I joined an organization that I was able to learn a lot of the information about what was all involved in becoming a personal chef. Just like PC, I'm able to work around my families life style and make that my main goal.

The hardest part is networking and finding the people that want my service. I'm confident that God knows what he is doing for me and feel that 2007 will be life changing in a postive way. :)
 
Good Luck on your new biz, I also believe that things happen for a reason and take it and run with it! I am sorry to see you go!
 
Best of luck to you in your new adventure! Love your website, too bad you aren't closer to me!
