Stretch Goal Unlocked and another Stretch Goal!

We have surpassed the first Stretch Goal! Thank you so very much! We are terribly excited. We'll be posting the three card spread video soon for your viewing pleasure.
I have been thinking about the "Victorian Tarot: Origins and Legacy" panel we did at AnomalyCon this past weekend and realized that the book does not cover the history of the Tarot. Because of this, we have decided that if we reach $16,000, we'll add an extra part to the book that illustrates a bit of the history and provides some context to where the Writer's Block Tarot came from (plus any excuse to cite sources makes me super happy). This stretch goal will provide us with enough funds to make the book a bit longer, and thus more full of information since Createspace increases the price of printing for books based on page count.
I can't wait to share it with you!

(p.s. all of you who came to that panel, thank you! It was super fun).
(p.p.s. don't forget that now that we've reached our goal, we're providing everyone with the Knight ($20) level and above with a .pdf of the book).
Stretch goals are here!

We are inches away from meeting our first stretch goal, so I figured it would be important to post about them. Below are our first three stretch goals. Once I get the pretty artwork from Amber, I will update the project description as well.
$8,000 - print more decks and books! When we originally budgeted for the campaign (the $6,000), we planned on using it to print 100 decks and 100 books. Since we have surpassed that amount, we can print more decks and books, so rest assured you will be getting your rewards, no matter what. $8,000 is our goal to print another hundred of each. Finally, for this level, I will make a video of how to use the Writer's Block Tarot with a three card spread (using the play test deck I made while designing the deck).
$10,000 - extended licensing! This will allow us to print even more of the books and decks. Due to licensing restrictions on the images, we are limited to how many times we can use an image. This will allow us to be able to pay the licensing fees and print even more decks and books for you! Here I'll do a video of the relationship spread using the same play test deck.
$14,000 - even more decks and books!! This amount is enough to allow us to print 300 decks and 300 books. Plus! We have always wanted to carry this project further than the Kickstarter, and meeting this level, we will be able to have enough to sell on a website that we'll make after the Kickstarter is complete. Here I'll do a demo of the Celtic Cross spread with the play test deck.
Once again, thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm.

We are now officially fully funded! Hooray!
We are still working out the details and graphics of the stretch goals, but we will keep you posted as we are ready to reveal them.
Tomorrow I will share another image from the Major Arcana for backers, so look out for that.
Wow. Just wow. Thank you all so much. I can't wait to share this all with you.

Amber and I are amazed and humbled to see how much of a reception this project has received. Thank you all for your support and generosity.
Some updates from yesterday and to today:
The Writer’s Block Tarot has been added to the “Projects We Love” category by Kickstarter! Woot woot!
By popular demand, Canada, UK, and EU shipping rates have been added to Queen and King level projects.
And finally, I apparently can’t change the reward level descriptions after people have selected that level, but we are going to include the .pdf of the book for all backers who have backed $20 (Knight) and above.
Thank you again for your continued support!

This is absolutely amazing. We are on day three and less than $500 away from our goal. Your generosity and enthusiasm are amazing.
Did I mention amazing?
After we hit our goal, we have some stretch goals to share with you! Plus more card images.
Thank you all so much.
