Updates & Shop Ideas
I’ve been working on this for a while now.
I’d like to have a new Shop Update/Launch for new products when I have the time. I haven’t been focusing on it since I’ve had so many other things to finish, but this is something for later.
Having a small update with a theme in mind or select items available for a short period of time. Let’s say my Store is only open for two weeks with those chosen items. I can keep a limited stock without having to place large orders. Then if I sell out it’s no big deal because I’d see those items were more wanted than others. Then whatever I have left over that wasn’t as popular can go to giveaways, mystery bags, etc.
I feel like these small openings will be manageable enough for me, and I can learn how to better my process for this. Right now it’s only in theory, but soon I’ll need to test it.
The complication is getting your packages to the post office. But luckily I’ve spent some time down at the nearest one and discussed the process with my postal workers. They are very nice, and the town is so small that delivering groups of packages won’t be a problem for them.
Though my biggest concern is still International because those apparently need customs forms. And the only way to get customs forms is directly at the office. I’m going to try a new software that SHOULD ideally enable me to print an international shipping label, but that’s still something I have to test out.
Once the process becomes familiar and easy there should be no problems and I can make my trips without incident.

Mountain Update
It all seems legit. I’ve not been pumping out ideas super fast lately due to the move up to the Mountain Home. Though I think I’m being pretty consistent with myself since I’ve been here.
There are a few logistics we’re still waiting on before anything can really be accomplished. By this next Monday we’ll have an official P.O. Box which means I can order new address stickers.
It’s also one of the things I need in order to update my DBA to the state of California. So I haven’t done much business since I’ve been here. Doing taxes was difficult enough having to do it for two separate states.
There’s no real rush, but just having everything done and your affairs in order is always a great idea.
On a much more positive note I have a lot of content to record and share with you guys. Book Reviews, Diamond Paintings, etc. But you’ll be waiting until those are finished of course, before you see the video. Just trust that I’m keeping a constant flow of content coming as much as possible, but some things just require time.
I have the cutest little helpers imaginable. So I AM enjoying my time up here. It’s always busy, but the good kind.
