Less than 24 hours left! Go go go!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Feb 24, 2022 at 06:52:34 PM

Here we are folks, the FINAL DAY of this amazing campaign! I'm currently writing this up with 17 hours left to go, and I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for pledging, sharing, and being as excited about these bags as I am. 

There are no more stretch goals to unlock, so these final hours are for that last push of people who'd really love a bag before they're not available for a few months. Remind your friends! 

I will be doing my best to get backer surveys out no later than Monday the 28th, at which point the sooner all of you lovelies fill those out the sooner I can get everything ordered and finalized!

I'll have another update to announce when those go out, but until then let's see how far we can make it!

Thank you all again, I'm so lucky this campaign has been such a success!

ONE WEEK LEFT! Giveaway over! FINAL stretch goal?!
about 4 years ago – Thu, Feb 17, 2022 at 10:39:13 AM

Oh my gosh you guys. Where do we start. Let's get the easy thing out of the way...

The giveaway over on twitter is over!

I picked two lovely winners and they both responded to me, and I'm so excited and thankful I have the support with this campaign to be able to send out a couple of free bundles! This of course means a lot of people didn't win, and that is a bummer, but there's still a whole week left of the campaign! And of course I will do my best to have leftover bags in my shops as soon as I possibly can.

Next up,

We hit 17k!

We did it! Of course we did it, you guys ROCK. With a whole dang week to go we busted through that last stretch goal and now there will be FOUR WHOLE COLORS TO CHOOSE FROM! This is so exciting! And also so nerve wracking lmao! I'm very excited to talk to my manu and get things worked out and finalized with these bags though, you have absolutely no idea.

On the note of leftovers for the shops, please note that Leftover availability will primarily be dictated by backer's color choices! The original and Pink bags are likely to be more available due to their high demand, but the more people who choose purple and green bags means the more of those I order and the more likely I'll have some leftover when it comes time. Got it? Great!

And lastly! We have ONE! WEEK! LEFT!

That's right! Only one week! Seven days! I'm totally not freaking out, are you freaking out?! Oh my gosh. 

Now is THE TIME to send links to your friends, share posts on all the social medias, beg someone for an early birthday present, etc! We have smashed through our goals and I am so thankful for that, but the bigger and better this campaign does, the bigger and better I can go with my future projects. And that's always the goal! Thank y'all once again SO SO much for your excitement and faith in this project already, I am so pumped, and can't wait to see where we go in this next week.

Talk to y'all real soon!

Halfway Mark! 15 days left!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 09, 2022 at 03:11:53 PM

Hey y'all! I meant to make this update a few days ago so I could celebrate our amazing purple bag stretch goal, but what do you know, running a kickstarter takes a lot out of you. But yes, that's right...

The Purple bag is unlocked!

You might have noticed we broke the $14k goal a few days ago, which is absolutely amazing, and to be expected since all of you backers are so amazing. Next is the Watermelon variant, and onwards and upwards from there! 

We have 15 days left, I bet we can crush this. And speaking of that,

Only 15 days left?!

That's right! The campaign is officially halfway over, which means now more than ever will be a great time to push those shares! We've still got two weeks, but make sure to remind your friends before the campaign ends, because once it's over these bags won't be available again until fulfillment is completely finished! And even then they're going to be a high price point in my store, so keep that in mind as well!

Hopefully the next update will be the watermelon announcement, but until then, keep the momentum up! 

Thank you all as always!

New Stretch Goals Announced!
about 4 years ago – Sat, Feb 05, 2022 at 02:17:36 PM

It's decided!

Thanks to all of your lovely comments and twitter + instagram's helpful votes, we have a solid order for our new stretch goals!

First up will be the Purple slime variant at $14k, followed by the Watermelon variant at $17k! 

As I said last update, these goals are spaced out a bit more as they are both bigger goals, and to give us more time to actually hit them.

Sadly, this means the Blue Honey Variant is no more! And as much as I wish I could make an infinite amount of color schemes, it just isn't in the cards for this project. Though I do greatly appreciate everyone's help with deciding which colors to go for! 

Let's keep sharing, and see how fast we can unlock these, huh?

Thanks again!

WEEK ONE: GIVEAWAY! Pink Bag, and... More color variants?! Vote for your favorite!
about 4 years ago – Wed, Feb 02, 2022 at 03:20:37 AM

Wow, okay! So, obviously there's a lot to get through here, so let's just take it step by step.

First off, Giveaway!

Yes, that's right, I am doing a giveaway for not one, but TWO FULL BUNDLES! This giveaway will be hosted over on twitter, and will have it's own little set of rules to enter, so if you are interested in that please go check it out! If you win the giveaway you are more than welcome to cancel your pledge, I won't be hurt or offended! You are also able to receive the bundle alongside your pledge, possibly as a way to get two color variants? Or you can donate your win to a friend you'd like to receive it instead! So many options.

This giveaway will run from February 2nd to February 16th, two whole weeks in the middle of the campaign. The winners will be announced as soon as possible to allow anyone who doesn't win the chance to back the project still! After all, there will still be a full week left once it's over. 

Even if you're not interested in entering the giveaway, please do spread the word about it! You can retweet the post without entering, so have at it and let's see how far we can go!

Next and most importantly, PINK BAG! 

Y'all are INCREDIBLE! In less than a week  we broke through every stretch goal I had planned and managed to unlock that slick pink bag design. The pastel goths and pink lovers out there are thriving and I am so excited that we get to bring not one but TWO killer versions of this bag to life.

Which leads to the fact that we have three weeks to go and nothing else to aim for?! We can't have that now can we? So...

Two more stretch goals!

I've had more than a few questions about other options for color variants and to be honest I'd also like to see some more options so lets do it!

At the moment the idea is to add two more stretch goals, one at $14k and one at $17k. With how we've been chugging along so far I think these should easily be doable! BUT, they're not so close that we have to shoot for anything else, you know?

The question is.... WHAT COLORS SHOULD WE BE SHOOTING FOR?!

Well, that's where you come in. Starting today and ending on Friday I'll be holding votes here, on twitter, and on instagram to see which of the following variants I should add as unlockable stretch goals The one with the highest votes across all three will be the $14k goal, with the second most being $17k, and the third.... sadly being left in the dust! So Vote carefully, got it?!

These options were work shopped carefully with my friends, and as much as I would love to have a bag in every color, these are the three I liked the best as options. 

Are you ready? 

Here...

we...

GO!

...So what do you think?

Obviously, remember that each bag will come with three inserts, so you can mix and match the colors on the inside, but these are with the base colors in mind! I'm a little impartial to the Purple bag because... I love purple. But I'm not choosing here, you are!

Please comment on this update with your top two, with your favorite as the first comment! You can also go vote on twitter and instagram once those polls are up if you want to skew the vote in your favor, and of course you can send the posts to your friends and make them all vote so you for sure totally get the bag you want picked.

Got it?

Great!

Thank you all so much again, and see ya soon!
