Sorting Old Folders

After a major clear out project, I was left with two things, not enough out the door, and, areas (of stuff). Downsizing the areas will put more things out the door. 

This is one of those posts that between scheduling and posting, lost its value. Thus, a deep delete with a sort of start over. 

Sorting the folders I removed from the file cabinet I gave away, old memories fly out. Most of them I remember. A few I had to think about. One project has been in my notes for well over 20 years. There are pages of notes. 

Guess for a second what it is.

Ready? 

Holiday ornaments! I have been wanting and planning to make holiday ornaments and cards for years.  

One of the impediments is the paperwork, registrations, taxes, and such. For a very small craft business, there is no easy way to set up. 

Vermont has a business portal to help folks. Right off I meet a major problem. In order to receive a start your business check list, the type isn’t found on their list. Soybean Farm is not my goal. The point is, there is a lot of reading to do of material made more complicated than it should be. 

Want to make a difference? Research how your state is set up for a small at home business. If you discover a need for improvement, then contact your local legislators.
