Gemstones and Dragons Oracle Deck

Shipping update
12 months ago – Mon, Oct 27, 2025 at 02:32:41 PM

Quick update

Most collectors editions have shipped. The only ones left are larger orders or International.  All early birds are packed or being packed and will ship this week or early next, excluding larger order & international orders. 

Large orders will be packed this weekend and go out next week.

International orders are being packed and you’ll get a message here on Kickstarter if additional shipping is owned. I’ve been notified that strikes are occurring in Canada, which may delay some shipments. 

Organized chaos 

I know it looks like a mess but I promise there is a method to the madness. 

Thanks to my husband for helping me get more organized and help packing all these orders. I started to realize it was too many order for me to handle on my own. So with his help I think we can get all of these out way faster! 

As always feel free to contact me if you have questions & thanks everyone for being so patient & all your support! I love seeing everyone getting their decks so please be sure to tag me if you share them online. And I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween! 

Just a quick note
about 1 year ago – Thu, Oct 02, 2025 at 09:22:55 AM

I just wanted to add a quick note. For those not familiar with selenite (satin spar) it’s a very soft stone & no matter how well you pack it some shedding will happen. So I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. When you unwrap your selenite there might be some breakage as this is completely normal for selenite to do and there is no way to prevent this. Some pieces might even break apart along the growth and this is just the nature of this super soft stone. Also do not get the selenite wet as it dissolves in water. 

More orders shipping
about 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 16, 2025 at 06:05:38 AM

More orders have shipped. Almost all the collectors decks have shipped other than orders that have a lot of extra items. So far I've had some order returned to me so please make sure I have the right address and you are able to receive packages. Shipping cost too much for me to resend without being compensatedsate because I’m already at a lost on shipping, paying extra out of pocket for almost every shipment. So be sure to check your messages if you're concerned that your package might have been sent back or of your address needs to be updated please let me know now. 

If you're an international customer please keep an eye out for a message for the additional shipping cost. What you paid during the Kickstarter as stated was just an estimate and the actual shipping amount would be billed later. Sadly high shipping fees means an avagae of $20 more for international shipping. I've searched for the best cost and this is the best Ive found for international customers. 

Losts of people should have gotten their packages last week with more going out this week. Please tag me if you share online! And be sure to check out my TikTok for clips from the live streams of packing orders. We go live every Saturday packing orders. 

Shipping update and digital rewards
about 1 year ago – Wed, Aug 13, 2025 at 06:58:26 AM

The digital PDF has been sent out. You should all get an email if you backed for more that $5 for a link to download the PDF book. It's best viewed with Adobe Acrobat reader which can be used online or downloaded for free if you don't already have it. If you need a link for Acrobat reader just let me know and I can send over a trusted link. Be sure to check your spam email folder as well if you don't see the email. It will be sent to the email you used in BackerKit not via Kickstarter messages. 

A note on shipping. Decks are shipping in batches, collectors decks are shipping first and some early bird decks. I've been trying to grab others here in there so it's a bit random, just ones I know I can pack and ship quickly, so no large orders have gone out yet. I ran out of stickers but I've been busy making more. 

Sadly for some reason they refuse to do package pickups at my house even after calling USPS so I'm having to get rides to the post office (I can't drive) or my husband takes what he can on his way to work. So please understand that is why it's batches each week going out. I'm getting them all done but can't take like 50 boxes at one time sadly, more like 10 at a time. 

Adding fun little details. All the little added details add to packing take time but I hope everyone will love their packages when they get them and will see how much love and care I've been putting into them. 

Signing collectors decks

I have another doctors appointment this week, then work this weekend but next week I plan to go live one day while packing orders. So if anyone would like to watch that be sure to give me a follow over on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@bolenart

Also if you backed my Patreon at any point durning the Kickstarter please message me. I thought I had notes on that but can't seam to find it. So don't want to miss anyone. 

For anyone that has gotten their packages feel free to share online and be sure to tag me if you share!

And I some how counted the 6"x6" paintings wrong and painted more 4"x4" paintings than I needed. So still have 2-6"x6" paintings to finish. So if you ordered a 6"x6" painting your order might be slightly delayed. 

Note to international backers: As I get to international shipping you will likely get an invoice for the difference. As stated in the Kickstarter shipping was only an estimate and  actual shipping would be added later. So be on the lookout for a message in Kickstarter about shipping charges. 

I think that's it for now! If you have any questions as always feel free to message me. 

Packing, shipping and local pick up option
over 1 year ago – Tue, Jul 15, 2025 at 08:54:18 AM

Just a couple of quick videos of the packing and shipping, and getting everything together and ready. 

I’ve been busy signing the collectors edition of the deck. 

I’m just one person, so please understand this is going to take a minute.  Orders with lots of items will be shipping last or later, just because they will take longer to get everything together.  So orders won’t necessarily be shipped in the order backed. For example, if backer 10  ordered a deck plus a bunch of add-ons, and backer 30 only got one deck, chances are backer 30’s order will ship first just to keep things easier. Hope that makes sense. 

Minor error in the book. In creating the book I completely forgot to add an index! It slipped my mind and didn’t even think about it until I started working with the deck. So each deck will come with a printed index/key card so you can work with the deck easily.  And I’m adding the index to the digital book, so that will be emailed out soon to everyone. 

Local pick up note: if you would like to pick up your deck locally please just message me here and I can get everything ready. Decks can be picked up at The Crystal Rock Shop in Tyler, TX on Friday and Saturday 10-6

Once your items ship you’ll get a tracking number to the email you used for BackerKit, not a message in Kickstarter so be sure to check that email. 

As always feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. 

Be sure to follow me on YouTube, Patreon, or Instagram to keep up with future projects, art sales, fun animal stuff and more. 

Oh and thankfully we are not in the area of the floods but we have been getting an insane amount of rain. So much that a number of trees have fallen. So we have lost power at least once a week which is putting me behind on everything. 

Anyway here is a fun quick video adding the packing details to everything!
