Hello Everyone!!!
Just about 12 hours of the Kickstarter left to go!
We have all stretch goals unlocked!!!
The final ones are the bunny mom and the pegasus mom!
Please take the time today to finalize your pledges. In about two weeks, you will get the backer survey to select which pins you would like for your rewards. You'll also be able to add on additional pins at the Kickstarter pricing at that time.
This is my first Kickstarter and I am absolutely blown away by everyone's support and I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!
***A special reminder to all UK backers:
I cannot fulfill your Kickstarter reward through Kickstarter because I am not set up to collect or pay the new UK VAT taxes.
Please cancel your pledges and fill out this google form:
https://forms.gle/sQ62i3MYVD1PYbqo8
I will contact you after the kickstarter and will make you a custom Etsy order since Etsy can handle the VAT. I promise you will get the Kickstarter pricing and reward!
If you aren't able to cancel in time, I will refund your pledge and add you to the special UK order process.
I apologize for the inconvenience!

Wowowow!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!!!
I don't usually send weekend emails but we finished the Kickstarter and blew past all the stretch goals AND the extra credit goals!
So now you might be asking, what comes next? How do I pick my pin designs? I am here to answer that for you.
- Right now, Kickstarter is processing pledge payments - this should take about 2 weeks.
- Around May 28, I will send out the backer survey where you will pick the designs you want. You will also be able to add on additional rewards at the discounted Kickstarter Pricing.
- Around June 7, the first round of rewards will go out. Any backer who selects all their rewards from the original 8 designs will have their rewards sent out in this first round. These 8 are the tiger, bear, panda, fox, raccoon, shiba inu, retriever, and black cat.
- Around July 9, the rest of the rewards will go out!
I will do my best to stick to this schedule and I will post updates as I go.
I am so humbled by all your support. Truly, thank you so much!!

Hello Everyone!
It's the final countdown!
3 days left to go and I can barely keep up with the extra credit stretch goals! Thank you so much for your support, and keeping me on my toes!
So far we've unlocked more dragon colors, the bat, and turtle.
I'm working on the bunny mom next!
All extra credit stretch goals will be announced one at a time on the main Kickstarter page. Be sure to keep commenting on the ones you're hoping to see!
Thank you again for all the support!! Can't wait to cross the finish line together!

Mid Kickstarter Update

Hello all!
Thank you for your incredible support so far! We have hit almost all our stretch goals and we are only halfway through the Kickstarter! The dragon mom is the next stretch goal to be unlocked and it is tantalizingly close. In fact, it may already be unlocked by the time you read this! Yay!
The next goal at $10k is a free mini pin with for all pin backers! I'm finishing up the design and will have it posted on Monday!
The big part of this update is that the original 8 designs have arrived and they are beautiful and swingy - just as planned! Take a look at the campaign page for the video showing off the swinging babies.
(I am very proud of my grade school level video editing! XD )
Thanks again for embarking on my first Kickstarter journey with me and enjoy your weekend, everyone!

One Week Left To Go!

Hello All!!
YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!
Since the last update we hit all of our planned stretch goals!!! Thank you so much!!!!
That means all backers at the pin tier or higher will get a free mini pin as a bonus!
I have added a new Big Mamma tier for 16 pins + matching stickers for anyone looking to grab a lot of pins. Additional bonus pins can also be added as an add-on!
Since we are all caught up with my planned stretch goals, I have been working on some extra credit designs. Look forward to me announcing them on Monday! We still have one whole week left to go so let's see how many we can get! Be sure to comment with animals you're hoping to see in the stretch goals! This is the last chance for me to pick them.
I also wanted to let you know I made a small oops in my planning, so the backer surveys will now be going out closer to May 28th and backers getting only the original 8 pins are now scheduled to have their pins mailed out around June 7 instead of the 1st.
