Progress and, unfortunately, delay...

Hello guys!
It's time for another update!
I'll dive straight into the core of this message: unfortunately, get ready for a shipping delay :'(
A delay?
I'm so sad about having to announce a delay as it's such a common Kickstarter thing these days, and I wanted you guys to get your goodies on my optimistic timeline. You saw me post pictures of the manufactured products a while back...so what went wrong?
Actually, two things:
- there was a major dispatching delay for one of the items due to the Lunar New Year (my contact point with the manufacturer went on a 3-week vacation before things got promptly shipped my way)
- my Swedish bank flagged one of the last remaining substantial transactions and froze my account, requesting and in-person visit and physical document submission while I was, literally, on the other side of the globe
The takeaway for next projects?
Make sure the manufacturing timeline doesn't fall around the Lunar New Year & make my bank know me better as a client (which will, hopefully, automatically happen through the in-person visit).
What happens next?
I'm waiting for the remaining items to arrive and will update you as soon as they do. It shouldn't be too long.
Pre-orders still open - not for long!
Also, the pre-order shop will remain open for a bit longer (until I lock your address - keeping it unlocked as several of you have moved in the meantime). Some of the items won't be available ever again or at the presale price - so get an extra deck or add-on while you can! :)
Thanks for being here!
Until next time,
Ester
P.S.: Below, see what the manufacturers have shared with me: boxes with the printed book and a preview of the silver card edges.
Surveys sent out!

Survey time
While I'm still waiting for the decks and books to arrive from my manufacturer, it's high time I got backer addresses confirmed! You'll be able to change your details for a little while in case of unexpected travel, and I'll inform you before I lock your address.

Hello guys!
It's time for another Mirror of Night update.
Both the deck & the book have been printed! Look at some of the pictures my manufacturer took for me below (I'll take better ones for you once I have the deck in my own hands).
What's next?
The deck, the book and other add-ons are being shipped from the manufacturers. Once it all arrives, it's time to start sending the packages out to you guys, yay! :)
Good news is that unless something unforeseeable happens, I'll be able to honor the late January/mid-February delivery timeline.
Also, I'll be sending out the address survey in the next few days.
Until next time,

Printing progress & calendars

Hello guys!
Printing preview
While my manufacturer should finish printing the deck any day now (I'll ask them to take a few pictures as soon as it's off the press), I thought I'd show you the printing layout and the areas on the box that will be stamped with silver foil.
Dark Females calendar
I've shipped the Dark Females desktop calendars to those of you who chose them as an add-on so that they arrive before the beginning of the year.
Pre-order store
As I'm still getting messages about where to get the deck, I'm sharing the link to my pre-order store again :) You can find the oracle deck & most of the add-ons there (some never to be available again once the deck is finished & live).
Thank you for being here!
Until next time,

Hello, dear backers!
It's time for another Mirror of Night update!

I finally received the Kickstarter funds earlier this week and could proceed with signing the contract with my manufacturer. I'll let you know as soon as I have the first pictures of the physical deck to share.

All digital rewards - the e-book & 3 guided meditations - have been sent to those of you who've purchased them. From now on, they'll be sent out continuously.

For those of you who've missed the campaign and still want to get the deck at the pre-order price or any of the campaign-exclusive add-ons, visit my Backerkit store.
Thank you for being here.
Until next time,
