We have reason to celebrate, my dear friends! Over at our lovely group, Reclaiming The Home on Ravelry, we have gained over 1000 members! That is an enormous milestone for me, and for all of our members, and is most certainly worthy of celebration!
I am also celebrating my new baby, my 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan, in the color Inferno (here's hoping the cool color name takes away some of the soccer mom stigma, haha!).
To celebrate our 1000 member milestone and my new Grand Caravan, I am hosting a Grand Giveaway!
For this giveaway, I will be stuffing a Priority Mail Flat-Rate box full to the brim with various goodies, fabrics, trims, yarns, and more for the winner!! I will even include a handmade item that I am putting together just for this giveaway!
To enter the contest, reply with a comment to this post with a suggestion on what to name my new Grand Caravan! I am currently leaning toward Sally, but I think that is mostly from lack of imagination in my cold-medicine-induced-state. Therefore, the burden of naming her lands on you (yes, it is a her! she is so pretty)!
The contest will end Friday night on March 7th at midnight CST. At that point I will draw a name, and the winner will receive the box of goodies. Have fun gals!
first thing that comes to mind is HOT TOMALE. but i thought carol's choice of VANNA was perfect ... i'll be back for the poll. :)

My mom called our family car, "Betsy." That way, she would always say, "Whoa, Betsy!"

I say you choose Mally...as for Malabrigo! The best yarn ever!! After all, your kick booty ride should be named after some kick booty yarn!

Congrats on having so many wonderful things to celebrate. I actually agree on the suggestion of "Rosie."

I guess I should answer your question too,huh? You know, I've never named a car. Ever. The only friends I know who have a name for their vehicle is an old green VW bus they call "the pickle". It's a very recognizeable vehicle, with a very memorable name. And my friend debs used to have an MR2 she called "the stealth". But other than that, this is all foreign to me. I have a hard time even naming my cats, that's why one is "that baby", because that's what he got used to be called, lol. So I'm afraid I'm not much help. I would say the traditional names sound too soccer, and if you want to get away from that, name it in French or something, lol. What's red in french? Or how about Pele, the goddess of fire in Hawaii?

I love the color of your new van. I have an older model Plymouth Voyager van. Never had any problems with it. The only name that comes to mind for your new van is "Ruby".
