Thanks so much for helping our cause!
Awesome work on the converting front. You may be a relative "newbie", but you got mad skills!
So glad you found Firefly and us.

Okay everybody, reporting in with the latest tally on the contribution fund!
Just checked the PayPal account balance and we're at a total of $238.66!
Woooohoooo!
The GOOD news is that we've covered the cost of the 2,500 postcard printing of $189.
The TRICKY news is that we have to figure in the cost of shipping...
I spoke with a rep at the printing company today and evidently these boxes of postcards can get expensive to ship... and since we have to get them way the heck over to Georgia, it will be pricey.
So although we've met the printing costs, we still need a bit more to cover the shipping. 'cause the postcards aren't going to do any good sitting in a box at the printers.
I'm going to work out with Rich (Sendmeawave) the shipping part. There may be ways to cut costs on this part.
I'll do whatever I can to make this happen. It's all doable, just getting more expensive than anticipated. Isn't that always the way?
Having a feeling I'm going to be paying some expensive shipping costs myself...

Howdy,
Came by to blow the cobwebs off the thread, and whatta ya know... there was a new message!
As to the shipping cost query, if the postcards are printed in time we can go UPS ground (3 - 5 days) service for $28 per box, $58 total. We're running a little shy of this amount at the moment. But if worse comes to worst, I'll chip in to make sure this happens.
Well I'll chip in more that is...

Okay everyone, an update...
Heeeeellllllllooooooo? Anybody out there?
Anyway, the Kaylee postcard has been uploaded to the printer and we're heading into the home stretch.
Now, our nifty lil' postcard has a snazzy back too! I created a design that looks kinda like the real back of a futuristic Firefly postcard, if'n they use them critters in the future.
- There's a upbeat note from Kaylee, cleverly mentioning the DVD and the movie.
- There's a list of some shiny Firefly/Serenity website so newbies can discover the wonderfulness of our online world. (For space sake I kept the list to four sites. Any exclusions are NOTHING personal, it's just that too much info starts to work against itself. And once newbies find the main sites, they'll have the fun of finding all the others.)
- There's even a cool "free area" which is set up for placing addresses! Yep, if we want to we can actually send these postcards in the mail for promo purposes. And the free area doubles as a nice clean space for Jewel to use should the lucky postcard holder have the opportunity to get her autograph! 
Well I hope the design gets a thumbs up... 'cause I've already uploaded it for printing. 
Okay, it's 10:42 a.m., I've been up all night... time for dinner...

Oh gosh, thank you and THANK YOU!
I'm so impressed by the generosity of those stepping up and tossing in for this project! Big or small, each donation is a vote of support and makes this idea a reality!
It's an honor to be part of this group of fans.
As soon as the dust settles on this, I'll be able to thank each person individually for their help.
Thanks again makerofpaths!
