Just thought I'd discuss the money situation in case anyone is curious where their donations are going.
When you donate the money to me, I push it from my Paypal to my bank. Then transfer from my bank to a
Bluebird card. This card is only to be used on Tactile related purchases. It is a different card on purpose separate from my personal stuff.
I've transferred the money back so I purchased the Instax with my own money and I've only purchased a pack of the film for Tactile. This idea didn't pan out.
Other stuff I've bought with donation money lately: stamps, envelopes, and stickers. USPS Forever CONUS stamps are $0.49 a pop. International Mail Forever are $1.20 a pop. A box of A9 envelopes is about $15-16 from Office Max or Staples. Stickers are about $2 for 50 if they are 3 in x 3 in.
I keep a spreadsheet with donations and purchases. I can provide upon request if you'd like to see how I spend.
Thanks for donating everyone. I really appreciate it and I hope that this setup works for you.

The Instax I bought will be half funded with Tactile donations as I am attempting to use it as a fundraising tool and it will supply artwork for future Volumes. I may have other plans for it as well. But it's half funded as I'll be using it for fun as well so I think the split is fair. The film packs will be purchased and used accordingly.
