Oh my, that won't work. If he keels over, he would not be able to mail our packages... Edmund, you are so awesome to be doing this for all of us, and at such an economical amount for all the effort you have going into this project!

But, what if we made a list of all of us that are interested, so Edmund would know exactly who wants what and compile it into one posting at the beginning of a thread? This would take a bit of work and someone with time on their hands to volunteer? Then when the time comes, we can all just Paypal our money? Then we could have piece of mind that no one misses out that really wants this, and Edmund would just have $ rolling in and it would be win/win for all...

I think it's Edmund's business what he does, really, despite our desire to own his decks.

Yes for the LIST. I`m in for one.

I will not buy two, although I would like too, but one, so more people have the chance to get it.

I don't think it's up to anyone here to make a sales list for Edmund, especially as he said he didn't want to do that.

I don't believe my choice to buy a deck from him should depend on whether or not I'm on a list made by someone else.

I think this is taking over too far - it's not our business!!!

In a way, you are right.

But I really want the mini version. So if there is a list, I`m interested.

[PathWalker]

Well that would be the choice between what is right and what is easy then, wouldn't it?

I'm with Dumbledore.

And it's not our business

Yes. Between Right and Easy.

It is his business and he can and probably will ignore such lists. But one can dream.

First off I just want to say omg the outpouring of support on this project is humbling. I do so wish that I could just go working on this for years as the themes, colors and joy in this holiday are intoxicating. Sadly, for me, the last card is drawn and the easel now sits empty. Each picture has been scanned and stored away, and as of Monday the files are off to the printer for the first run. Truth be told I have spent just about every day on this project since August of last year. Sometimes it was full days of sketching out card ideas till one got right, others were testing colors. Still more mornings were spent sending and replying to emails on how to get the deck out there; printers, fabrics, beads, BOXES. Easily half my waking hours each week were spent working on this project. As Nicky has pointed out I take work with me everywhere. Even now I take my sewing machine to work to continue the bags on breaks. (The bags take about 90min each to cut and assemble. I make no great boast about my sewing skills so I sew slow. I’m sure if it were my mom they would have been done in a day. )
This whole time while I have been in my creative playground my husband, the Tribunal Sisters Three and you guys on AT kept the project focused. For those posts here and behind the scenes of support, critique and discussion I give you my deepest gratitude.
As for the limited edition. When I was fleshing it out to both Rana and Nicky the one thing that never entered my mind was that it would be this loved and desired. The higher then normal price on the set,I thought, would be a deterrent and that most people would go with the regular deck. The number of 112 was high I thought, but it was the number that I thought fit the project just as 93 fit Pixie. If there was some way I could just go on making the bags I would, but I would drive my husband nuts so 112 it stays.
Preorder lists- they are a HUGE undertaking. The PMs alone are hours of sorting out, and people’s screen names on here are not the same as their emails which can be different them their Paypal name. Then there is the thing of once you start a list in one place what about the other groups on say FaceBook or even the people that email me through my website, when do they get a chance? A list would just be way to complicated.
I will give a good long think to limiting the limited edition down to one deck as that way it will be around for a while. That way as many people who want the set will be able to get it. If no one here objects to it then I think I’ll do it that way. Thoughts?
Finally, in the spirit that this project is designed to celebrate I’m pushing forward the pre-sale date to 5/26 my mother’s birthday. With the deck shipping out first week of July or sooner. At 7:00am CST I’ll post the link up for both the standard and limited editions. It’s a Saturday morning so I hope that most people will be able to be off work and able to just order it over their morning cuppa.

With how much care, thought, an innovation you put into your decks, the support is well earned! However you decide to do the orders, ill be there with my credit card out!

Great news!!!!!
I admire your dedication with the bags. Amazing thing that you do, to make all of them by hand.

One deck limited edition per person would be better. You can limit it for one week or so, then, if there are still left, you can let people get a second one if they want.
