Looks like I put this dream on hold for a bit to pursue another one. I'm in an accelerated Bachelor of Liberal Arts program at University of Richmond, and between that, trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, and rounding out my day with the appropriate amount of lazy, there isn't much time for daydreaming about River City Sweets.
But last weekend I was feeling especially procrastinatorial <-if that's even a word, and trolled the internets for a site that would print mailing label-sized stickers with my logo on it. I told Dave what I wanted the logo to look like last year, and he designed it for me. It's perfect!
I ordered from Vistaprint because they had the most user-friendly upload-your-own-design process. I ordered one sheet1 sheet that contains 4 stickers - I didn't want to go overboard and order more than that since I had a specific need in mind when I ordered the sticker.
When I was in Staples ogling the Martha Stewart office supply line, I picked up a pink spiral notebook with a very subtle design on the front. I thought it would be perfect for jotting down business ideas, recipes, decor, and other RCS-related dreamy things, and instantly knew I wanted to personalize it with my logo!
You can barely see the design, which is good so it wouldn't compete with the logo's polka dots too much :)
Here's my new dream book!
I can't wait to fill it up with ideas that have been swirling around in my head and on random post-its all over the house! Contain that paper mess all in one place! To help me organize my ideas, I also picked up some tabs from the same Martha line:
Once I sit down and think about all the categories I want, I'll add the tabs, but here's what I'm thinking so far:
- Location type - crafty house, strip mall <-ick, home business?
- Recipes, favorite cake/frosting combinations, and other sweets
- Pricing
- Decor - menu display, flooring, furniture, etc.
- Business ideas - what do I want RCS to be to the customer?
- County/city small business requirements
Oh, somehow 2 ink pens, also sporting the logo, found their way into my cart at ! How'd that happen?
