Charity Checklist

I've been (slightly obsessively) working on my charity project over the last few days. So far, it's going quite well. I've been surveying people for ideas and names, constantly fine tuning the new website, talking to sellers of molds to decide on the best one for my needs, and creating all the online things I need. This was my list from the other post a few days ago, updated:

• $40 for the molds  I FINALLY decided, after lots of talking to the seller who actually created the special baby mold to make sure it would work best and the copyright laws on it would not affect what I'm trying to do, to go with the best instead of the affordable. I also upgraded the mold for the wings to get ones that are a bit bigger and more detailed, so both molds will be here by next week. I spent money I was planning to use for Katie's party decorations (both ballet recital and birthday) but I'll have to use money I was saving for a vacation on those things. If I wait until I have extra paypal money, this charity will never launch and I need some time with the molds and clay to perfect my look. 
• 
  
• $35 for the flesh clay start up (I found out this will get me 3 lbs of flesh colored clay, which will be about enough for one month of requests. I won't know until I see just how much the mold requires. I'll also need a little more than this for the white clay for the wings.  But...all I have right now is a small amount of flesh clay and white, which will be my practice. (originally it was supposed to be for sculpting our family out of clay, but that's gonna be pushed to the back burner for now. I started sculpting for my angels, not for the cute little projects I dream up!)
• 
  
• My own examples and pictures to show (should have next week)
• 
  
• A website that lets me have a page for order forms as well as a message page  (after days of figuring out how to do an order form that doesn't require me to pay so that the order form can accept paypal links, I've FINALLY figured it out and have the website ready to publish! This was a HUGE step and was very time consuming.)
• 
  
• A paypal for just the charity (I made half of a business account, realized I wasn't sure if I liked it or not and stopped. Now I"m trying to figure out if I want to continue the business way that allows for more types of payments, or just make a second personal one.)
• 
  
• Tax information about running a charity
• 
  
• A Facebook Page and marketing it
• 
  
• A Wordpress blog for the charity (Deciding on how necessary this one is still! I could just do the updates on FB)
• 
  
• A name for the charity  (after finding out that Healing Heart Angels is already a loss charity as is Angelic Comforts, I defaulted to my last two and ultimately chose the voted favorite, Angel of Mine Charity)
• 
  
• An email for charity use - probably a gmail one?
• 
  
• Get business cards made to mail with the angels (disappointed to find that vistaprint no longer offers free cards! I did manage to design my own card that I really like, so hopefully I can find the funds to get them. Luckily vistaprint does have some pretty good deals.)
• 
  
• Decide on how many angels to list  Bill and I came to the decision to fully recognize Jesse's twin now that we've had time to process and talk about it, so Jamie's name will also be included in the charity. 
• 
  
• ADDING TO THE LIST: Look into stickers with the logo and angel names on them to put on the flat bottom of each angel. Looking to cashing in some of the $20 free Shutterfly coupons I've gotten lately!

So, I'm nearly there! All the biggest stuff is out of the way already. Now it's time for the little things and then getting to PLAY with the designs and take pictures to put up.
