 hello and welcome to this vlog. it is currently Thursday and I don't have any information for you except for the fact that I've been packing and I've been packing a lot of stuff. I've been packing my books, full Kickstarter, it's been taking a while. I also got very sick after a full bubble. who to fault? me, sick. I guess sick all the time. it's really annoying. I take my vitamins as well. anyway I'm working away now so gotta be quick. this is my day job but here is a packing vlog for you guys. I don't know if you can hear that tape in the background. that's Chris still packing away. can you believe that? the Kickstarter reward should be soon with people I hope depending on the mail times because mail times can sometimes be slow for some reason and I don't know why my voice is so low and I had a really bad cough. so it's kind of like creaking door vibes but just let it go. anyway thanks for watching. here's the vlog. it's really short and but I really love watching packing videos so hopefully kind of something chill to have on in the background whilst you guys work. these are some packaging that I ordered from Vogue Grace. they kindly gifted all these to me. so these are the packaging that I will be putting the acrylic charm and the stickers in for the Kickstarter and I've also got a sticker that goes right around the front so we'll unbox that now and see what it looks like. I'll take one of these out and have a look but there should be about 100 of these boxes so there'll be enough to send out to all the Kickstarter bikers. and let's open this one which I'm really excited about because this is going to be the acrylic charms and the stickers hopefully. so let's see what they look like. it feels good using a knife on top of this because it's like if you hit the stuff inside. basically they packaged it really well so it's just not going to get any rain on it at all. also it took two days to ship here which I think is absolutely crazy because it came from China and they were like oh your order's ready and it's going to be shipped it's going to take I think it said like two to ten days and I was like it's probably going to take ten days isn't it because that's like normal but no it took it was quick. I don't know what's going on here. oh there's a weird side of it. so that was super fast. I don't know if that's always the case I hope it is but yeah so we're going to test and see the stuff from Vogue Grace. there's a printing company in China and they have kindly gifted me the opportunity to print this stuff showing you guys. so I lost the audio for the other clip so I'm just going to walk you through opening up this stuff from Vogue Grace. I don't know if it's Vogue Grace or Grace I don't know how to pronounce it but I got so here is the acrylic charm and it has like glitter flakes in it so it's kind of like holographic shards throughout the charm and it turns around and you see like the demon side of her image which I think is really cool because basically it's like a nice picture of a bride and then it's the demon and also the the clasp is a little moon because you could there was like a few different options for the clasp and I thought the moon was just the most fitting I just thought it was pretty and worked well. I also got these stickers these stickers are just to go and seal the boxes with and I thought it was really nice to utilize that imagery from the Kickstarter because I really like this image and then I realized I'm only going to use it on the Kickstarter which was strange so I decided to make this image a little nod to that so we've got these boxes these packaging boxes which are going to hold the acrylic charms and the stickers so I'm going to put the sticker on the front like this to keep them sealed and if it looks really nice in the end I think it's a really nice little package to get for a Kickstarter reward. I also printed lots of glow-in-the-dark stickers these big final stickers they actually were bigger than I thought they were going to be but when I ordered them I was like oh these are big but it's fine incredible so I got a lot of different ones basically if you haven't been following the project these are like little items that you might get from an antique shop or a frifting place and they all have their own little stories behind them I also made a print of all those things and these come directly from the print by because they're a bit bigger I painted over them a little bit in Photoshop look I love this one the best I think the little crystal ball the eye in it and they also glow in the dark which is super cool I love that I really love glow-in-the-dark stuff I don't know about you guys but we've got this skull one which I really like too and yeah they're looking really great they came out so nice and the grace was so friendly and helpful and it was really really a nice process it was just I sent them the file I said do I have to do anything for the glow-in-the-dark like what bits and they were like don't worry we'll sort it out and they just did it for me and it looks so nice and they all have like this bluey tinge to them which is what I did so they all match each other which is really nice and they're all these little things that you might get from an antique shop so like this little glass bottle that comes from an unknown country I don't know and then also I did a little doll's house one which is definitely haunted and yeah I just got loads of packs of these stickers which is so satisfying and these are all the stickers together so they'll be piled like this but inside the box so I was just trying to figure out how to make them look and I think this is just gonna be really nice so these are all the things I got from the grace thank you so much again to them for considering me and my backers because we these were going to be the tears these acrylic charms for hitting each goals but we didn't hit the goal for the acrylic charm but what happened was I asked them if like hey could you sponsor me and then I can give all these acrylic charms to my backers and it was so nice to just be able to give that little extra thing just just for fun basically and for everyone supporting me on the kick starter I just thought it would be really nice and yeah so this is how the box looks like this is how they're going to be delivered they also the acrylic charms have these plastic seals on the front they have to peel off so bear that in mind if you are getting one of these my voice is also messed up because I've had a cold all week but please ignore that and this is how it looks I think I went back in and I changed how that sticker goes because like it definitely shouldn't overlap at the bottom if that makes sense so I stuck it down so it meets from the edge to the top that doesn't make sense but I hope it makes sense so that's how the box looks and I think it's really nice I think it's nicely sealed and safe for people and so the packing commences and this is a really long just packing vlog so just I hope you enjoy because it's already like been 10 minutes so maybe you can get on with stuff as you watch this I don't know that's it excuse me Pesto so you can't be up here because you're gonna scratch so figuring out how to package this thing this thing the book I've got the print here which came in this box so I've got all the prints here I'm just gonna lay them out there's more than I need because I think I need to send out 70 out there's more than I need because I think I need to send out 70 but I've got more than that here books packages in a I did order some of these plastic sleeves a five I don't know where they've gone so I'm gonna have to find them but I was just seeing if this fit inside my bubble mails which it does not it looks like it should because it's the same size but it like doesn't go in and then also we have this little box on top so this is going to be the parcel that each Kickstarter back every walk kicks back a starter reward kickbacker what this is gonna be the rewards that the Kickstarter backers get and I just need to order some new envelopes I guess some bigger ones so I'm just trying to figure out what those would be like because I do want them to bubble mail us stuff doesn't get squashed or even with like a hardback so I have to figure that out as well it could be like these ones I don't know if that's too big then it will have to be a larger letter which will cost more in shipping so I have to figure out how to get that done so this will definitely fit in here well I guess it was time to scour the internet for some good packaging but this is it it's nearly done and I just you'll probably see a compilation now of me figuring out how to package everything and then also like just doing it or I guess I could get started on doing all the boxes because these look these look so sweet now I love them really happy that I got them so these are from Bob Grace as well you can order them so they pack the stickers inside but I opted to pack them myself because it would be less money but also I wanted to put the acrylic charm in there as well and then you make your own sticker so it's like your packaging plus your own sticker and I really like the way the sticker came out it's like I think people good peel that often keep it as well which is super cool but yeah it's like so sweet little bundle of goodies I'd be really excited to receive this if I was on the receiving end of it I think so that would that's nice I like to see look at things and be like what I like to get this and I do so it's good but as you can see we've got loads more to do want to get them shipped off as quickly as possible so that people can get their rewards and yeah so I'll just do probably a time-lapse of me packaging now she said she was in real estate so I feel like she's probably like excited to see something like that the ending sentence to his bio and it made me roll my eyes the woods with his wife dog and deep personal traumas like he's low-key blood horror but this was literally like someone was just trying to be like shocking as possible with like not good writing the story was due to the things he said that were like shocking necessary for the story like grows is trying to be that was it that was a vlog what did you think lots of packing thanks for watching and please give this video a like and watch some extras that will appear soon on the screen if you want to help me live my YouTube dreams which are slowly dying but it's fine thank you very much for watching and see you guys next time
