PAID ORDERS (TODAY + TOMORROW + NEXT HANDFUL OF DAYS)
In the next 24 hours, all open paid orders will get an email. "Your stuff is on the way!" or "90% of your stuff is on the way, the remaining 10% will be on the way in the next few days!"
If your order is split, you'll get tracking emails for both shipments.
Our production is running a bit behind schedule and I want all open orders that can be shipped to be shipped. I'd rather pay for extra postage myself than keep things open for much longer. It is December.
GIVEAWAY STICKER ORDERS (NEXT WEEK OR SO)
In the next 48 hours or so, I'm going to round up the few dozen orders that came in before I fixed the "site not asking for your address" bug.
Once I get the paid orders out the door, I can start focusing on the give away orders. This will take about a week, maybe a bit longer, but should wrap on schedule (mid December).
MID-END OF DECEMBER
I have a cute story penned. It has a wizard, it's fun, very short. It'll go on the blog, I'm tinkering with the illustration header. It is a winter story (not a holiday story).
I DO have a holiday story penned and I'm going to see if I can publish it in time.
I might say "hm well it's after the holidays but I'll publish it anyway" we'll see how many cookies I eat between now and the end of December. Sugar rush and all that.
MAIL CATCH UP & HOLIDAY MAIL
After I get the orders (paid and giveaway) set up and out the door, I'm going to rest for the rest of the year.
Publish at least one story (above), write letters, return emails, write up holiday cards. Mail holiday cards.
Drink.
So much.
Cocoa.
2026
(Somehow, Palpatine returns voice) "Somehow, the studio renovations are nearly complete."
Except the non-art-areas which are going to take forever but have nothing to do with the art-making and I am excited to hit the art-making area with art-making.
I'm driving my producer, Fang, a bit wonky because I keep tinkering with the holiday decorations and drinking my weight in cocoa.
I love, love, love the holidays.
