The first mailing that went out was one that included:
trade paperbacks with painted edges & no or few add-ons
add-ons only, bookmarks, stickers, etc but NOT the ones that included the cross collab or printopia bonus
The next mailing will include
trade paperbacks with painted edges & add-ons
non-book orders that include the cross collab or printopia bonus
It's taking me a little more time than I planned because I ended up sicker than expected.
See, I got better.
Then my guy brought something home from work.
And since spouses are supposed to share, he shared. I wish he hadn't.
I had to take a break for several weeks because unfortunately, this crap set my asthma off.
I finally broke down and went to the doctor (again) and they put me on steroids, breathing treatments and antibiotics because YAY, for me, I didn't throw it off in a few days like the guy and everybody else. It settled in my lungs and gave me bronchitis, a lovely asthma exacerbation. On top of that? I have a sinus infection, too.
I couldn't do any edge painting until my asthma flare-up leveled out and i didn't want to hack and wheeze on anybody's books.
So. I'll resume packing and mailing here in a day or two.
Free eBook Bonus - Please Read. Cards being charged for shipping next week!
Just a couple of things...
As I mentioned last update, the trade paperbacks are in. I have to start working on painting the edges but once that's done, I'll start working on packing up books and boxes.
Cards will be charged for shipping next week.
I've already sent the final notice through locking your addresses. If you've moved, please update your address.

For the Pin Lovers!!
I'm part of Pintopia this year. Some of you have backed the campaign, but we're down the final week. As former backers, you have access to both a special edition pin and discounted tiers.
Everybody who backs or maintains their pledge during this final week will get a free bonus pin!
Additionally, my artist is creating a unique design that will be used for a pin exclusive to my returning backers and it is only $5! The design is still in progress, but the idea will be something like this.
It's a great time to back if you haven't already done so!

The trade paperbacks are in! Charging cards for shipping soon.
The trade paperbacks are in. Just a reminder, as mentioned in the previous update, I have to order the books in batches due to space constraints. Once I get the majority of the trade paperbacks shipped out, I'll place the order for the hardbacks.
What's Next
The trade paperbacks came in yesterday and looked good at a glance but I need to look through them more thoroughly. As long as everything looks good, I'll start working on painting the edges for those who ordered sprayed edges.
Time to Charge for Shipping
I'm going to be locking addresses and hitting the button to process shipping charges shorting.
If you've moved since this campaign ended, it's a good time to update your addresses! Just a reminder, I'm not responsible for lost packages due to inaccurate addresses, so...please check your addresses!

However, I don't have a lot of space to store/pack. The room I used to use for my storage/packing room now has a resident - I've adopted a kid. A teenaged kid, but still. They were in a bad home situation. They needed a place to stay and so, Guitar Kid's old room which became my default storage space is now their bedroom.
So I've ordered the trade paperbacks and will get them taken care first - I still need to spray the edges for those who requested them, which is part of why 'room' is such a problem.
I appreciate how patient everybody has been. We're moving, it's just slow!
