I have been trying to think of a way to generate an income from home.  I am a very creative person so you think it would be easy.  Well, not so.  I am artistically creative.  I am what I call a media moron.  I can do many things on the computer.  Research, spredsheets and communications are some.  But when it comes to using e bay forget it.  I have tried.  I have had an Idea however.  I seem to be the family party planner.  If we are having a function that includes food, I plan the food, prepare the food and implement the set up and distribution of it.  I have done funerals, sports functions, picnics, birthdays, weddings and many other functions.  I think I might try my hand at minor party planning.  Not the big venues.  Small local affairs.  Things like family picnics and back yard weddings.  I have the knowledge, the resources, and the equipment.  Why not?  I know there have often been times when someone has not wanted the trouble of putting together something as little as a small family picnic.  I get roped into doing it any way.  So why not try to make a living at it.  I do have some exclusive recipes that I have come up with that people have been trying to get out of me.  I think I will reserve them for my business idea.  Sorry every on,  The secret to the chicken salad stays with me.
