Looking forward to Fall

I know it's not Fall quite yet but once school starts, I can't help thinking that it might as well be. I want to buy all new folders, packages of pencils, and sweaters in whatever autumn colors are my current favorite. This is usually a mistake in Las Vegas because it's still 109.

When we, at Paperdolls, think of fall crafts, we think of wreaths. Lauren and I have made several lately and we wanted to show you a few of them. We've been using felt, fabric, or yarn wrapped forms with silk flowers, ribbons, buttons etc. Anyway, take a look, and let us know what you think about them. Or just tell us what your favorite thing is about Fall.

So you better treat her right!

Paper Dolls has reopened the sweatshop. With a minor adjustment thanks to a Mitch Hedburg solution - air conditioning! We have registered for the Great Craft Festival, November 4, 5, and 6th at Cashman Center. Seeing as Santa's elves have been uncooperative in previous years, we don't really feel as though we can rely on them so, its up to us! We are breaking out all of the fall colors, papers, stickers etc. and the winter holiday supplies as well! Gracie has been burning her fingers to the bone with the glue gun making exploding cards, Ruth has been felting all the live long day, and me? I've been making wreaths. LOTS of wreaths.


Also, we are super official - we just got our EIN number! You have no idea how excited we were to see a legitimate document from the IRS that says Paper Dolls on it.

Finally, Ruth and Gracie attended the Department of Taxation Basic Training Workshop yesterday. They learned:

1. Document everything, keep all financial documents separate! Don't mingle business and personal.
2. Use your resources - there's a lot of information out there and its free. (http://tax.state.nv.us/ for starters!)
3. You don't want a visit from the tax man.
4. Everybody wants a piece of you - don't get attached to your money, its not really yours. Well, at least not all of it.

That's been our week - what have you been up to?
