I’m up to my eyeballs in QuickBooks. Gads. I think I finally have all the inventory entered that I bought both before and after January 1. Most of the accounts are there, as are starting balances for bank accounts, credit cards, you know, that stuff. Now I’m trying to import PayPal info. Ha ha ha. Let’s just say I’m glad I imported into a test file first. Anyone have any tips to share? Right now entering every single entry from PayPal sounds like it has its merits. Please, talk me out of it. There must be a way to do this. Maybe I should have all the sales entered first? Gads.
Well, that’s what I’ve been up to. I’ve been stitching a little, too. I’ll leave you with this update of Stepsisters. Except for a small bit of outlining that will go along the edge of the lavender flower, the blue one is all done. At lunch today I got close to finishing that little leaf you see there. Just another needleful or two left, then to outline it. I might get to move on to the other flower tonight or tomorrow.

I love how the outlining just makes something “pop” and finishes it off so beautifully. It’s looking great.
I wish you continued luck with your data entry. My only reference point was when I tried to setup my Quicken files for the first time and attempted to enter the last 6 months of personal finances. Definitely interesting.

Ooooh, very nice! They are looking wonderful. :) My solution for dealing with PayPal so far has been to enter each of the sales orders individually as they come in, mark the payment as received, but in Undeposited Funds. Then, when I do a transfer from PayPal to my bank account, I “deposit” the funds and subtract their fees. Not sure if that makes any sense?
