Hello,

This update is to inform you of a few things. Our pledge number has not grown in a few days, and we have a great deal of followers. This is usually because individuals may be waiting to pledge until the design they want gets unlocked, or due to financial issues or other factors.

This is our first-ever BackerKit project. We have used Kickstarter before, so I set up a new poll requesting your help on what we can do to improve.

BackerKit is a pledge now, pay later platform, so you will only get charged if we meet our funding goal of 15k on July 1st, 2025. I want to see these designs created, so I kindly ask that you share our project with your friends and family. It would mean the world to me and my family.

I have also added the ability to pledge for enamel pins as well as the shopping bags. This hopefully opens up more options for backers. Please check out the pledge levels for more information.

I will post another update later today with actual images of the ferret shopping bag prototype, and will have measurements Monday for you all. 

I have two manufacturers designing the Blossom, the opossum backpack. Sakura and Fern keychains prototype, and one is doing Ferguson the Ferret. I hope to see the images soon to update you all.

Please keep supporting us. I pray every day to see these designs unlocked, and I believe we can do it still!

The Wandering Opossum

Hiya!

As promised, I have made a short video showcasing the ferret shopping bag. Please keep in mind this is a prototype, and additional changes will need to be made, including the eye color and possibly some changes to the bag itself, adding trim, etc. The backpack images will be available soon, and with the measurements. Please trust me if you're afraid to pledge, if you are worried about the quality. I will make sure you only recieve the best products. <3

Hello Everyone, 

I have great news.

After talking to my manufacturers, they think the tariffs will be adjusted enough to help offset the costs of shipping that we originally planned for. We will be able to change the price and the products that will be unlocked with our first 15k. 

The prices below will be adjusted to correspond to this change. So now our initial goal of 15k will unlock both Backpack designs and our enamel pins!

❀Our initial goal of 15k is to unlock our Blossom, the opossum backpack, baby Fern and Sakura keychains, and Ferguson the ferret backpack and matching enamel pins!

I want to thank you for your understanding. Hopefully, this helps those who wanted Ferguson the ferret!

Note: Baby Ferret Keychains added if we can unlock the designs that far!

Good morning!

Thank you for your continued support of our Backerkit. I wanted to address a few questions and provide updates.

1. The font on mobile was unpleasant to the eyes. I fixed that and had no idea till my twin sister informed me. Thank you, twin sissy!

2. The size and dimensions of bags? - This question is a great one, and I probably should have provided the information before launch.

The backpacks will be able to hold the biggest iPad, so at least a 13-inch interior is the idea. It's currently in production, and the exact dimensions are being finalized. I hope to give you this information by the end of next week. Please stay tuned. 

The Shopping Bags-
My prototype is on its way, and I will be taking more photos and dimensions soon. However, here is a little sneak peek from our manufacturer's photos.  (The eye color of the ferret and maybe a few more tweaks will be added but its so adorable.)

3. I need help to spread the word of  Lil'Stinkers: Bloom Into Spring to friends and family, and even on social media. It means a lot to me and helps immensely. Being a small business that's just starting, every share or like makes a difference. 

Thank you for all your support and to our 14 backers so far. <3
