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.

Wow is this a fast year. We are continuing to work on the web site. It is currently being tweaked with new photos and rearrangements and better headlines. We will open before all the music is ready and inputted. But that's life. We are so close though.
I'd like to know how much money people have before they start a business because I feel like a money pit. Maybe we need investors, I don't know.
What I do know is that we are slowly crawling out of the pit we started in and people have been very responsive. We are truly blessed with great friends and support. I really don't care about my own salary, but I'd like to see enough money coming in that the bills are paid.
We are looking forward to the Director's Seminar next July and I hope also to attend the STEP solo/ensemble workshop next July. Every festival we can afford to be present at will be a step in the right direction.
Well, anyway, I don't always say write because I don't always feel I have something to write that is positive and up. It is definitely a hard walk to restart this business.
Prayers and good thoughts toward our getting an SBA loan please.

Ha!! Forgot my password and user name. Pretty good huh???? So I had to start all over with that process.
Anyway, I was so excited when someone came into the store and said he had found our blog. Really made my day!!! He not only found our blog, but he found our store because of the blog.
Hey!! We're on facebook too :o)
Anyway...you'd think I 'd be done by now with all the set up and web site, etc. NOT!
Norm is working on descriptions of music...and huge, major big deal and it takes forever. I continue to fill out spreadsheets, spreadsheets, spreadsheets. I sure hope this doesn't take until 2011.
Twyla and Jim came in and put up my Music Room puzzle and the cork board.
Now I don't have to tape comments to myself onto the wall heehee.
We've been selling alot of KidsRing and BellFest music. We really appreciate all the wonderful patronage up to this point. Hope to continue to see new faces.

Well, I'm all geared up for this coming week. See what it'll actually bring. The store is looking good. I'm slowly buying containers and display material. We've changed the handbell table as people weren't using it much. We do have the bell tree up with bells. Work on the web site is slowly coming along as is cataloguing all the vintage music. Norm is updating and fixing our Quick books program so all items are the same. We've made so many changes that we have to pull everything together into one style. Getting there though.
