Sigh. Incredible amount of work to do. Oh well, chin up. I am half way through the customer base (yeah!). I am still tweaking the inventory excel program so it's easy to enter on the website. I am almost through a packet of music deciding which we should buy in quantity and which we shouldn't. Thanks to Carla and Joanne K. for going through the music and giving me their perspectives. Suite R will be ready for us to start our work in on Monday Feb 1. I want to paint it an Oatmeal color before all the file cabinets move in. I am seriously multi-tasking but doing well at it. Not as good as a friend of my sister's who multi-tasks like she has multiple heads! HA. Anyway, Tom V has been working on the logo and gave me two ideas he has been working on. Very exciting!

So. All excitement aside, I am actually figuring out the basics of Quick Book. I've been entering in all of Norm's customer base. That'll take a few days:) Plus I'm working on the catalog trying to get it usuable for our website designer. There's plenty of tweaking to do. The most exciting part of yesterday (other than the panic attack because Norm was a no-show for his appointment with me. Of Course I think of all the worst things when instead he was stuck in another appointment that took longer than expected). okok. I went to Home Depot to check colors. I decided on a vanilla not quite yellowy but not really white and a teal that's brighter and greener than what you'd normally expect. I'm hoping to get help painting starting Monday. At least get 1 room done in a couple of days. Then Norm can move in the files.

Well, we now have a "space". We will be in Suites R and S (combined into 1 suite) at 6603 Queen Ave S, Richfield MN. Not even 1 mile from home. I could walk. Wahoo!! Yesterday I bought a printer that I liked and got it set up. I worked on our expenses so far, started paying for a website to be created.... Oh my. Today, I finally figured out how to get the tops of 8x14 pages printed off so I could have the entire agreement. Amazing. I'm going to look at paint. Work on Quick Books.

Hi! Carol Scheel here. Norm and I are working on getting Heitz Handbells and Music set up. I never realized how much work there is to setting up a company: website, store front, learn Quick Books, do this, do that. Whew! We are working on getting into a store front at 6603 Queen Ave S, Richfield. Not really sure which Suite yet as we may move to a different one. Meanwhile all the files are still in the storage locker. I'm working on setting up a new invoice in Quick Books. Everything is on a roll, but not a fast one. I'm really excited about all the support Norm and I have from family and friends. Thank you so much!!
