✨ This celebration of Hearth's Warming couldn't have happened without you, thank you for having joined me! ✨ 

Words are never enough, but I hope this REALLY BIG THANK YOU can help you understand how I feel right now! Over the next couple weeks, I'll be working on the pledge manager surveys and payments will begin processing for your initial pledge amount. Please feel free to ask questions, talk about the journey, or generally just hang out in the Community tab!

BackerKit will charge the card you used in your initial pledge. If it doesn't work, don't worry! You'll have multiple chances to update your card information before surveys are sent out. You'll also have a chance to update everything in the survey! There will be plenty of opportunities to make sure you get your rewards before the whole project closes for good on February 28, 2026.

Please remember, if you fail to pay for your pledge, add ons, or final shipping costs, you WILL NOT receive your rewards.

JULY 15 - Project ends and initial pledges charged
AUGUST 3 - Surveys go out
AUGUST 18 - Surveys close
AUGUST 18 - Completed surveys charged for add-ons and shipping
AUGUST 31 - All items ordered
OCTOBER - All items (hopefully) received
NOVEMBER 15 - Remaining surveys charged for add-ons and shipping
NOV/DECEMBER - Orders packaged and shipping begins
FEBRUARY 28, 2026 - Project fully closed and rewards are no longer provided

I will have many previous project rewards available for add-on during the surveys. Also, I aim to make many of the rewards available as individual items, so you can mix n match the pins and stickers you want.

You will be able to change your shipping address up until your survey is closed. After the lock down date, if you need to update your shipping address, please email [email protected], and I can manually update your shipping address. Please let me know as soon as possible that you need to update your address so I can change the address before your package is sent. If you fail to notify me of an address change, and your package is returned to me, I will ship it again but you will have to pay another shipping charge. 

You will receive a last call email for address changes before we start shipping packages.

Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for being part of this wonderful celebration! Please let me know if you have any questions. My next update will be in about 2 weeks with information about the pledge manager surveys.

Happy Hearth's Warming!
Carly K

P.S. disclaimer on all free items in any pledge from throughout this project... you need to successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs to receive your pledge and any free rewards!

✨ Please respond to the attached poll, as it is very important I receive your input on this! ✨

I designed three free pins that I wanted to make for you all, but I don't think we're going to unlock them.

Currently, all cousins are receiving the same free pin, a Love Heart. I was wondering how you would feel if instead every cousins receives a random free Heart, either Love, Sun, or Moon. I would also make all the pins available as add-ons during the survey so you could order more if you wanted them!

Something I would also do: if you added on a Love Heart and a Moon Heart, I would make sure your free heart is the Sun Heart.

✨ This update is going out to project backers and followers only. Please be sure to share this project with your friends and family members who would enjoy a cute plushie themed pin! ✨

All cousins are already receiving a Free Metallic Gold Love Heart Sticker and a Free Love Heart Pin. These are automatically applied to all cousin goodie bags (not including the new $1 donation pledge) once the project surveys are completed.

Up next, I'm hoping we can unlock a Sun Heart Sticker and Sun Heart Pin! Comment below if you recognize who this design is inspired by.
