When we reach $56k we will unlock the final design that we will be getting done!!
Suggest below a critter, it can be anything! No limits on what it could be!!
For me I’m suggesting a wobblegong shark.
I’ll be picking 5 of the most popular suggestions to vote on when we reach 56k, so if there’s a design you like make sure you thumbs up it, and the most popular liked ones will be the ones picks
We have reached one of the final milestones!! The trout has been unlocked now!!!
Working on designing and ordering their sample this week!!
If we can reach $56,000 we will add a final design to be unlocked and voted on by the community. This can be anything! And we will ask you guys to comment suggestions!!
No limit on what the final designs can be! Anything goes!
I have good news on adding Latt-Ray to ya'll's current pledges. As the original bags from the campaign finish up being made, Latt-ray's bag is about to head into production. I know folks were interested in adding Latt-ray once seeing the finished photos, and after some testing with how to best do this, I'm happy to help you do that. Here's some info:
If you made a pledge on Backerkit for the campaign and would like to add Latt-ray, please send me your backer # and/or Backerkit email address to [email protected] by next Monday, February 24th and I can manually add it for you.
It is $40USD to add (price during the campaign) and it will be charged immediately once I add it - though it is possible it may add another couple dollars due to shipping weights. I'll let you know and ask confirmation before charging.
Please note that adding latt-ray may add another month or 2 to shipping times compared to the other items as these will arrive to me later than the original items. All items within one pledge will be shipped together when all are finished.
Since everything else is being made right now or is made, I am unable to add anything else to orders other than the Latt-ray plush bag.
I have been testing the bag and I've been really happy with it! As a reminder, here are some pictures of the sample:

And here's a picture of me wearing it at the farmer's market!
Thanks so much everyone! The magnets and sticker sheets arrived, and the prints and backing cards will be here this week - I'll post an update then! Nicole
By now, all of you should have had your payments processed. At the time of writing this update, we have roughly 33 errored pledges affecting roughly $2k in our funding pool. Fortunately, this is within my project budget "buffer" % and should not affect any of our unlocked items. Please do your best to remedy your payment method as soon as possible.
As a reminder, after 14 days, if I do not hear back from you that you wish to keep your pledge (and need the full 14 day extension to pay), I will process your pledge as cancelled, and any special promotional offers and prices in your pledge will be forfeit.
If your payment has processed successfully: YAY!🎉 Here's what to anticipate next.
Backer Surveys / Order Confirmations:
⚠THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!⚠ For those of you who have never backed a crowdfunding campaign before, this is the most crucial step of your pledge order as this is the only way I can fulfill and ship your rewards. It is imperative that you fill your survey out to completion upon it being sent to you via email. Failure to do so heavily affects our final inventory count and prevents me from fulfilling the campaign efficiently, so please fill your surveys out to completion when you receive yours.
Roughly 14 days after the campaign ends, a 'smoke test' will go out to select backers to help me verify that the survey form is working correctly. I anticipate sending all backer surveys around February 28th or slightly sooner.
In Summary:
33 backers have errored payments. Please remedy at your earliest convenience.
If after 14 days your payment is still errored, you may be dropped from the campaign. Please let me know before the 7 day buffer if you need the full 14 days to pay.
⚠Backer surveys will begin going out around/by February 28th.
⚠ Once received, please fill your survey out to completion. I cannot count your order as valid or process your order to ship unless it's filled to completion. Filling to completion requires you to put your payment information in again.This WILL NOT CHARGE YOU twice for your order. This is just to collect your shipping fees and any extra add-ons you wish to purchase via our preorder store that is now open.
You will be able to update your shipping address at any time up until we lock addresses, which will not be until May ish.
PRE-ORDER STORE NOW OPEN, VERY LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE!
If you were following the campaign and missed out, you can now preorder via our backerkit store. ⚠IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BACKED THIS CAMPAIGN AND WISH TO ADD ITEMS FROM THE STORE TO YOUR ORDER, please wait until you receive your survey! You will be able to add items then. Making a new order via the backerkit will create 2 orders and while I am able to combine them, it does cause confusion.. So, please just sit tight and wait for your survey to be issued before adding more goodies!
Post-campaign add-ons and preorder store will close March 5th or if we reach 350 backers. Payments for additional items and all non-campaign preorders will begin to process March 6-7th. Shipping fees will be collected closer to May when I know when fulfillment is to begin!
We've unlocked so much over the past few weeks its almost impossible to keep track of it all, but never fear-- that's where the mega master list comes in handy!!
Below you'll find everything* that will currently be on your survey and in the preorder store post-campaign.
*I may end up adding more as I build the surveys, but these are the 100% confirmed items.
First off wow. Seriously, i never in a million years expected so many backers. Thank you everyone.
Never in my life did i ever expect anything like this to grow so large!! There are so many of you who are backing this and each one of you mean the world to me now for allowing me to create something that has grown so exponentially in such a short amount of time.
Every time i log on to check the campaign i am blown away by the amount of supporters and followers. I sincerely hope that everyone who has backed this will love and cherish their new friends that they will be getting in the future, and that you can go on to create so many amazing memories with them and that they can make you smile!! Especially when you need a pick me up or are having a bad day. That's my goal with them, to make you and everyone else smile, and love them as much as i do!!
I cannot thank everyone enough who has backed this, or shared it or even just looked at it. You are making it possible for me to continue this project, and creatue the prehistoric pals too (Working on the campaign at this moment for them too!! Cant wait to share more on it!!) I cannot wait to see where this silly little brand goes, and while this has absolutely been an amazing experience so far its also been overwhelming. My first time doing something so large, and i appreciate everyone who has been patient with the few small hiccups along the way!
Huge thanks to all 327 of YOU,we have successfully fully funded our Dress-Up Beary Campaign! 🎉
It's been a long ride but we had so much fun the entire journey! We cannot wait to start bringing all our rewards to life along with all the new designs YOU guys came up with! We now have 3 variants of our Beary plush thanks to your suggestions and a couple more new pin designs as well!! 😋
What's Next
Payments
Backerkit will be charging your cards right away for the next 2 weeks starting from the end of the campaign.
For those with failed payments, you will be notified to re-enter your payment details and Backerkit will attempt a charge. For payments that are not fixed by Day 14, your pledge will be dropped and you will not receive your rewards.
Some common reasons behind payment errors are, insufficient funds, foreign currency charge or your charge was declined by your bank. If so, calling your bank or changing a payment method will help resolve the issue!
The payment made now will not include shipping fees. Shipping fees will only be collected when you fill up your survey.
Surveys
In the meantime, we will be working hard to complete the survey where you can choose the designs you would like for your rewards.
Through the survey, you will get to pay for your SHIPPING FEES and also add-on anything extra that you did not managed to get during the campaign period.
We will do another update once our surveys are being sent out. Do keep an eye out for it in your inboxes as it will help us (and you!) if the surveys are completed ASAP! ❤️
Samples for Pink and Lilac Beary
We have sent in sample making for our 2 additional Bearys and fingers crossed we will have something to show you guys in the next 2 weeks so that you can make your choices!
Preorder Store
Our preorder store are currently in the works and will be opened in a few days time.
Through that, you will be able to grab anything that you missed out during the campaign period!
Rest assure that all freebies are applicable to all preorders and additional add-ons during the survey period.
An update will be made once the preorder store is opened!
That's all for now!
Once again, HUGE thank you to all of you for loving our little Dress-Up Beary series! I cannot wait to start bringing them all to life and bringing little Bearys to your homes! 😝
Have a lovely weekend all and Happy Valentine's everyone! ❤️
