So. I'm working on our very first email ad. My sister in law, Eve Neuhaus, helped with finding a free company. Now I'm constructing. It takes a lot of work but I'm sending it out this week!!!
Norm has a contact who wants to sell their 3 octave set of Whitechapels.
We are constantly tweaking and adding to the site.
Busy, busy, busy

Well, I went to Lansing and it was great. Lots of people to visit and meet. Display went well....I need to continue working on displays. So today you get a view of progressive displays ala Heitz Handbells.

This is Rochester, MN June 2010. Our first display.
Next is the display at Anthornis in Plymouth, MN February 2011

As you can see, no table covering. However, we've started to think about compactness of display. Alanna has been helpful in that respect. Also Carol decided to try file boxes for education, worship aids, hymn collections. This you can see in the next pictures at BellFest, Arden Hills MN March 2011.

I've also done a display at Lansing Michigan, March 2011. Ringing on the River North. However, the pictures are on a different computer.
Norm and I need to find cheap but nice looking table covers. And we want a banner.

Well. We are working hard trying to improve our displays for events. Thursday I am leaving for Lansing, MI to display at Ringing on the River North. Driving with a packed car. We're trying so hard to be good with our space. I'm starting to measure the display. Please pray for an easy and clear drive both ways for me. Lots of energy when I get there and loads of customers.
Physically Norm is doing better. Still major problems with energy and his back. I can't imagine all the pain he is in daily. These 12 months have been wonderful for me and my own personal struggles with emotions and Norm and his feelings of hope and energy. We have no problems getting along most of the time.
Please also pray that we make good decisions about which events to go to. We really make money at events and need to get to as many as possible without straining ourselves.
Also, the website is still in its infancy and not used as much as it could be.
Well, anyway...pictures of Lansing will come..I hope.

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.

March 3, 2011

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.
