I just now ordered the proof of the book from CreateSpace. 

I also just got a tracking number from the Etsy shop that's providing our satin bags for the decks.

Everything's coming together! Woooooo

Yesterday, I wrote the final description for oganesson! I'll spend the next few days getting everything edited (95% of the editing is already done), and by Friday I should be sending a PDF to CreateSpace, which is where I publish my children's books. I've got an ISBN waiting and I've been working on the cover. What do you think?😁

I ordered the cards back in December, and I got word that they are due to arrive here TODAY. 

I am excited and terrified. You see, the deck I have been using as a prototype was done locally, by a shop that couldn't handle a large volume. So today will be the first time I see our actual product, and I'm nervous as heck. 250 decks. All at once.  Do or die. Aaaaah.

I will absolutely do an unboxing video for you, my humans. Until then, we wait.

A Solstice Miracle!

I got all the posters and prints into the mail today.

Walked into the post office expecting Week-Before-Christmas crowds, but there were only two people ahead of me and everyone was in a sunny mood! I was so relieved!

Postcards will be next. I need to go buy more 5x7" envelopes.  Happy Solstice, my humans!

Ready to go.
