With all the things to think about and all the joys of what is happening around me, my spirit is so sad about Japan and their tragedy. The 50 heroic people who are trying to save those nuclear facilities. It just hurts so much.

Welllll. It's almost BellFest!!!!! That'll be a very fun day. I just heard from Bill Mathis yesterday that next year Hart Morris will be conducting. Woohooo!
Anyway, we will be displaying on Saturday at Bellfest. Should be great.
I've finished entering all of Jeffers into the website. Now I'm working on new music and starting Concordia, From the Top, etc. Plus, since I'm planning on going to Ringing at the River North, Lansing MI at the end of March we are working on display items. Our store is a mess while Norm and I are trying out various styles.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!
Well, we had a great time at Anthornis. David Harris was extremely patient and pushed us nicely:). I can honestly say that "Anthornis" the piece has improved immensely since last year. Remembrance went very well as did Herr Liebster. I think Little Fugue was not done as well as it could have been. But the whole experience was just awesome. North Heights was the 5th set of tables back and I could relax and watch the director.
Heitz Handbells and Music was there along with Raleigh Ringers products. It was a good weekend for both companies. I also bought some Raleigh Ringers products for Heitz Handbells. So we'll sell their fun gloves and CDs too.
Hope your day is full of roses.

Happy February!!!!!
Well, I am rapidly getting everything that was supposed to be in Quickbooks last year, into Quickbooks this year. Yeah!!
And I've downloaded everything into the website that Jeffers puts out, except for Jeffers themselves. Well....that's a ton of work.
Meanwhile, we had a decent January. I'm looking forward to a comparable February, Anthornis, and whatever we can cook up to pull people in. We're putting out a new postcard this month.

Well, yesterday was our 1st anniversary for Heitz Handbells and Music. Neither of us realized it until most of the way through the morning. We ordered take out pizza and enjoyed talking with the customers and friends who came in. It was a great day and we both have a feeling of great accomplishment. The look of the store has been pretty stable for 1 month. We have been online for almost 2 months now. I've been screwing things up with the pictures a bit and am waiting for our website designer to fix my mistakes.
Norm is double checking all the entries and I continue to enter music. I'm working through the Jeffers' companies: I've finished Red River, Ring Out, Ringing Word, Ring Praise. I'm now on Fred Bock, Composer's Press, Busy Ringers, Robert Groth, and Your Songs. When I'm done with that I'll start on Jeffers. It's a lot of work, but the feeling of accomplishment so far is great.
Alanna asked us if we wanted to do the Reading Session for Anthornis. So we're working on that. And I've asked permission to display at BellFest and we've signed up to display at the Lansing Festival in March.
Norm continues to "enjoy" editing my mistakes, talking to customers, taking orders, creating descriptions, etc.

Due to a friends suggestion, I downloaded Gimp as a photoshop program.
I have been working very hard getting more on the site.
Norm has been working very hard on descriptions.
Happy New Year!!!!

Yeow!!!!! I either have to write more or quit this. I can't seem to remember the stupid password. Anyway. Issues: Heitz Handbells wants Microsoft Publisher and/or Photoshop Elements for Christmas. HH wants to know if people know we exist. HH wants people to really use the website!!Sigh. Can you tell it's Christmas??? I (Carol) always get depressed at Christmas.
So. I have finished adding all the ensemble music we have and yesterday finished adding all of Red River Publishing's music on a spreadsheet. All I have to do now is put the data on the website's spreadsheets. Next entry: worship aids and education.
Then!!! I need to make sure Quickbooks is set up correctly. Actually I'm working on that, reading Quickbooks for Smarties and talking to a person to help me get it all together.
