The count-down has begun!

I can't believe how time has flown this month!  What a whirlwind it has been, but all for good..
It has all been leading up to March 1, 2011; the start of my business.  I pray it will go well, but I'm also afraid that it will.  The support from my friends and family has been phenomenal, and they know me so well.. I just don't know how to fail.  This entire experience thus far has shown they may be right, but honestly I'm a little nervous.  It may be a business to grow slow and steady, or it may just take off and make my head spin. LOL  I have a picture in my mind now of what that may look like, its pretty funny. =) 





I hope I can work hard and make my family very proud and bring all glory to God in my efforts to bring an income to our growing family.

Here's where we are at in things:
Several small things not worth mentioning because they will take about as much time to do them as it did to type this sentence.. lol
I will be ordering my business cards today
Making mine and Sassy's Costumes this week (they are SO Freaking Cute!!)
Making Fliers for the class and a Template for the After-class take-home flier
Finish up Sub-site Kidz as Cooks

WOW we sure have come a long way!  So Thrilled to be almost done with it all, and its all self-funded so no new business loans to pay off, which is HUGE!!

The website is finally ready to be released (I'm still working on the site for Kidz as Cooks, but this will be a good start).. go take a look!
And don't forget to "LIKE IT"

www.craftyllamaproductions.com

Be sure to tell your friends about me and I'm still putting together a Mach-cooking class for a week from Saturday, if you know of any 5-12 yr. olds that would like to come participate, contact me for more info.

Coming along...

Here is our Logo, I may do a little outlining on the letters when it is all said and done, but for now I am satisfied. 

microphone cupcakes for the "Diva Dance Party"

I haven't posted much lately, things have been soooo busy.  My Lena-bug turned 8 and we don't just celebrate the birthday.. it has to be the "birth-week"!!  We made cupcakes and cookie cake and strawberry cheese-cake (she decided to mix it up a bit).  Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the Cheese-cake but it was lovely and gone Quickly!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENA!!!

Ok, back to business...
With the business plan done and out of the way, and the first class booked I really need to take a look at what is left to be done.  Here is what we I have left to accomplish:

1. We purchased the 2 websites I will be using www.craftyllamaproductions.com and kidzascooks.com (they aren't done yet, so you can't go there quite yet)  Let's see if I can add a screen-shot for you and give you a little sneak preview...YAY it works! >>>>>>>>>

There is still quite a bit to do on the site, but learning how to build the site was super complicated and that part is under control now, so I estimate having it complete and "unleashed" by Friday {fingers crossed}.  If you'll notice craftyllamaproductions.com is my main site, and kidzascooks.com will be a sub-site, but there you can see the logo/link for it on the left (the giant chef hat probably gave it away)



2. Business Cards
Since I am working mainly under Crafty Llama Productions, the card will have my blue llama on it instead of the chef hat.  I am ordering the cards this week!





3. Fliers and Advertisements
I may or may-not have someone else design these.  It just depends on how I'm doing for time.
4. Costumes
I'm purchasing the supplies after I meet with Sassy on Wednesday and hope to have them sewn and ready to go by end of next week.
5. Insurance, still haven't done this yet... I really need to get on it, but to be honest I am pretty burnt out on paperwork after working on the business plan and website.

All in all I think it is safe to say that it is coming together nicely and should be ready for business in March.  I'm very excited!!  So excited; in-fact, I bought tapioca pudding just for me!  LOL

Be sure to contact me if you are in the KC Metro area to reserve a spot in a Free class towards the end of February for your little Alpaca as a test group and to appear on the website (video).  They must be at least 3 years old to participate. 
Thank you for all of your support!!
