DAY 171, And 172.

Thursday Day 172

I thought about my business today and how to score a book to read that could assist me in my quest for knowledge in the Non Profit world.  As for purchasing it , I am unable to obtain it thus far.  I feel  like I am still in the collecting stage of the dolls and yet need to get into the delivery stage.  I feel paralyzed though.  So I just keep moving and in the process was able to score a set of doll clothes that helped me dress a Tolly Tot doll or an American girl look  alike.  She looks so cute. See her above in her cheering outfit.  
Wednesday, Day 171.  Babysitting and pizza night so there wasn't a lot of doll stuff going on.  But I did work on a cradle I bought really cheap from an avid doll seller Elaine.  It is a rose pink cradle and full of littlest pet shop stickers.  I want to remove the stickers sand it down and repaint it.  I was able to do that while sitting next to a real doll and singing the one year old a song,
"De Colores".

DAY 169 AND 170

ON Day 169 I started reading a book that I found to be refreshing and lite-hearted.  It was interesting to know that it was about mermaids and it reminded me of the movie "SPLASH" from the 80's. 

Today, DAY 170, I explored the world of dumpster diving at GOODWILL.  There you find things and pay .50 a pound for the loot you find.  Through the frenzy of looking I found a doll I just had to pickup because it reminded me of the book I started yesterday.  Here she is in her crystal blue persuasion. 

DAY 168

Today I was supposed to sell some dolls to a local vendor however the weather was really nasty with the thunder lightning and heavy rain.  I stayed in most of the day and although I did not work on dolls I did relish in the way I am more organized with my home office and spot to be creative.  I have all the doll clothes I own organized in small, medium and large snap totes and it is a great improvement compared to digging through a big box of miscellaneous clothes.  I am excited about the prospect of Tuesday and going to Goodwill to buy things in bulk.  It may mean more clutter at home but I at least want to try it.  That was my day... cleaning, organizing motivating, building and now sleeping.  Thank goodness.

DAY 166

DAY
 166 and 167

THIS IS WHAT THE NEW BUSINESS OWNER TO 

MY MUNECA PROJECT LOOKS LIKE!

FRIDAY JUNE 24th 2011

ON DAY 167 though, the new owner went out and made some connections and self promoted her business and found a really cool doll. An extra little bonus.  Here she is in my new home office built yesterday by/buy me!

Such hard work!

Do you like the shelves?

DAY 165

     Starting a business can be scary, but today and yesterday I attempted to register the ever famous My Muneca Project.  Which is supposed to be written Muñeca.  Unfortunately the problem is that the state can't recognize the "ene" or the n with the squiggly over top of it.  So that was one of three reasons why I was not registered today.  the next reason was a lack of INC behind the name and then of course the articles or incorporation was not correct.  I did not know they didn't want my mission statement.  But,  I submitted it for a third time and we will find out tomorrow what I missed if anything.  I was able to secure an accountant and I am excited to make connections to secure my success. 

DAY 164

Today I didn't have much time hanging out with dolls.  Although I did categorize three of them that I had not yet written in my book.  I like to keep track of the 17" Baby steps I get from the big E and write them in a budgeting journal I bought when I started reading Dave Ramsey and his financial plan.  Although he would not be happy with all the money I am spending on dolls he would be pleased that currently I only owe on my house and Lawyer.  But that would bring us into a whole new story.  Instead of talking about that, let's focus on the journal I keep.  Or perhaps we should call it a ledger, but whatever it is I break it up into the following... Date of Purchase, Doll type(always the same), Price for doll, Price for shipping, Original clothes (yes or no) In tact, Condition,Paid scale ( either $ or $$ or $$$) I currently have two $$$, shh don't tell anyone, Hair color, male or female, Total cost, and Code on the back of their neck.  Currently I have 15, but not all of them have names which means I can resell some.  But that isn't until November.  On the business side of things I did register MY Muñeca Project as a business today.  it should be exciting to see if I did it right. 

DAY 163

     Taking some time to have fun I was able to stop into a local thrift store where I found a pair of shoes that fit my dolls.  Bon Bebe size 2 fits perfectly compared to anything else I tried.  The best part is that I don't have to make them.  No Sew No Fuss.  Look how cute he looks.
