- Changed my store name from Ellie's Shoes 'n' More to Ellie's Alcove, because Ellie's Closet was already taken :(
- Changed my store logo to match my new store name
- Changed my Facebook fan page logo and name
- Registered a new domain name (for my eBay store AND my blog) on godaddy.com (*affiliate link)
- Changed the URL forwarding information on all my godaddy domain names
- Changed my eBay Underground forum signatures
- Ordered new business cards with my new store name and logo
I'm very excited about this change. It was time for the old logo and colors to go. I got 1500 of these business cards for only $25, including shipping!

I've had hardly any sales today. In a way, I'm glad for that, because I was able to get all of these little things taken care of. I have several other things to finish up today too, like, ahem, editing my pictures. I know, I know. I promised. I'm almost done with them. In fact, I think I'll just pause this post and go do that so I can show you some of my favorite Goodwill finds from Tuesday.
I have to laugh, because literally 15 seconds after typing that I've hardly had any sales, I sold 2 pairs of shoes!

I got my 1099 from Paypal today finally. Yikes. I've never been as grateful for deductions as I am today. I'm going to be scouring my record books for every last little penny that I can possibly deduct. It is SO important to keep track of every penny, because they all add up. The thought of having to pay taxes on that amount is enough to make me sick to my stomach. I think I can reduce that amount by about two-thirds, so that will help. Fortunately, we always get back a pretty sizeable refund every year, so I don't think we'll end up owing any taxes this year. At least I hope not, because I didn't set aside any money for that. That's something I'll definitely need to do differently this year, just in case.

Finally got my pictures edited. Here's just a few of my favorites.
This Ralph Lauren knit top should sell pretty quickly.
I bought 4 long denim skirts last week and have sold 3 of them already. I picked this one up the other day, hoping it will sell just as quickly as the other 3 did.
This is a great candidate for an Ugly Christmas Sweater contest. It has a hole in the armpit, but it's a size 3X. I'm hoping the size will make the hole irrelevant.
And these were actually from a couple weeks ago, but they've finally made it into my basket to get listed this weekend. They match one of my mom's Pyrex patterns. I offered them to her, but she declined. I have never actually found any refrigerator dishes before. They're very cute. I think they're only a half-pint. I haven't really researched yet to see how they do...

I should get to bed. I almost missed the mail lady again today. I need to start going to bed earlier so I can get up in time to get my packages ready. Or I could just plan ahead and get my sales packaged up the night before, but that would be too easy...
