My partner specifically said he wasn’t going to do any work for the rest of the night so … QUICK. I’ll distract him.

@crawfish eeeeeeeeeeeee

That looks so nice. I wish I had more money rather than have to save for emergencies and/or unexpected expenses.

crawfish

@dvoraen I will save one for you.

It’s my hope to order one after tax return time next year.

I feel this so hard.

@crawfish - the cards are beautiful and I am envious of all those who are getting them.

My husband and I are packing up all the things and I’m staring at the the stack of art in my hands and pulling card art out as he goes through the list and holy shit I did a lot of art this summer. Hand drawn, planned, painted, inked. So many. SO MANY.

We’ve got folded boxes out to the ceiling, we’re putting in drawstring bags, decks, thank you cards, art for when it’s applicable, and shipping labels. It’s delightful, stressful chaos, and I’ve already got plans to check every single box before it all gets shipped out.

I’m at the finish line and it feels like it’s taking forever. There will be so many packages. The post-office is gonna hate me. Or. Maybe I’ll arrange a pick up? Can I do that? DO PEOPLE DO THAT???

@crawfish

You can arrange a pick up and yes people do that. Also if you are doing enough volume, it might be a good thing to look into metered mail equipment as it saves money in the long run.

Food for thought.

@crawfish You can arrange a pickup. People do do that. Or at least if I can arrange a pickup, you should be able to.

If you are using USPS that is.

I did arrange a pick up and my normal mail-person was very proud of me and I just blushed and didn’t know what to say and helped her load up all 97 boxes.

“Thank you for not holding up the line at the post office for 2 hours.”

(I kid. )

Zobi

I just wanted to say that I got my deck today… and they are so lovely (and omg, this bag! SO big! SO nice!!). Thank you for doing this. You made magic.

crawfish

@Zobi YAY! wow that was FAST. And YES I wanted it to be a useful bag! And thank YOU for your support! ️️️

Testament

Got my cards. Going to do a reading for my wife tonight (yes, I know how to read tarot and numerology). The cards are good quality, I like how they feel.

These are great, thank you so much. We’ll worth the wait.

crawfish

@Testament I obsessed over the texture. OBSESSED. I’m really glad you appreciate it, do let me know how they read.

Aria

I also got mine in the mail today!

My first observation: “Man, Crawfish does not fuck around with tape.”

My second observation: “Ohhhh, these are smooth… ”

Honestly, I appreciate this. This time two years ago I had a book that was accompanying a very expensive deck I ordered from Ireland, that had been OOP for almost 15 years, get destroyed by the fact that the Philadelphia postal service was completely overwhelmed. They had so much mail backed up that they were putting it in giant outdoor containers that were not waterproof.

Fortunately the deck was fine, but there was absolutely no salvaging the book because it had been left sitting there in wet-to-the-point-of-crumbling cardboard for almost two months.

AAAAH mine arrived yesterday! Though I did not go to the mailbox until today - it’s been a couple of horrible RL weeks.

ANYHOW, omg. They are so gorgeous. And there was a gift! After recent life things, this was like - such a lovely surprise that was a bright spot in my day The bag is perfection and

The awesome things is that I showed them to my son, who is well-versed in Tarot and he oooo’d and aaaaah’d over them. He is pretty hard to impress (though has always loved @crawfish’s art) so this was like double awesome.

Kudos! Truly, the set is gorgeous, and I was so excited to see them today.

OH! And the backs of the cards? I love them. That dark blue just
