Look what just came in! The final postcard artwork design by Ann Marcellino is done.  There is one last design, which should hopefully be in by the end of this week, and then I'll be taking them to the printers. Woohoo!

Hope everyone had a good holiday!

cheers,
Melissa

91% of surveys completed + Progress!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Nov 21, 2018 at 10:46:31 PM

A big thank you to those who have completed the survey. Only 99 backers to go! We can do it! If you feel you haven't received the survey please feel free to PM me through Kickstarter (it helps keep things organize) and I'll help you out. 

On the backend I have FINISHED the extra content! Yay! It took a bit longer than expected, as all good things do. Edits and color corrections are still underway and my target deadline to have the completed file ready to send off to the printers is November 30th.

Right when the final file is done I'll be sending out the completed PDF (all 8 chapters). Really excited for you to see the extra content!

Progress, behind the scenes:

Behind the scenes, I've been looking at paper samples and color selections for the book and end sheets (those are the pages that adhere the cover on the inside) to the interior pages. It's a bit overwhelming with how many choices there are! 

In other news... November is a special month. Thanksgiving was the day I typed in my phone "A boy gives a girl a book" and it changed the entire course of my life. November seems to be a month of new things to come because as of November 15th, I'm married to the love of my life! We did a City Hall wedding and kept it very small.

Just wanted to share the good news and wish everyone a happy holiday.

all the best,
Melissa
