JUNE 16th, 2025! THIS MONDAY!!!!! The Kickstarter for book 2 launches this Monday, and I'm so nervous, afraid and excited, as well!! As many of you know, a good start makes all the difference for a successful kickstarter campaign, with that in mind, I've decided to give a special gift to everyone kind enough to pledge in the first 3 days! This super cute acrylic keychain, featuring the book itself! I will also give a 10% discount to all book 2 orders in the first week!

We can make book 2 happen! And have a great time doing it! I am so grateful for all of you and I can't wait for you to have the whole story in your hands!

Love to all of you!

JUNE 16TH!!!!! Book 2 is launching!!!!

Hello, my wonderful phamily!

 You're probably asking yourselves why this Kickstarter is taking so long (I have been anyway)....well, the main reason is that I have been struggling and STRUGGLING with the video! At first, the setting was simple, I was sitting in my studio, at my desk, but it felt so boring and didn't fit the feeling of the book, ya know? 

I have spent an entire month failing at this and i have almost a hundred videos on my phone of these failed attempts and then I finally broke down in tears, I'm embarrassed to say, bc I felt like just couldn't do it...but then inspiration struck me..... It just needed to be more theatrical!

I have a background in props and set dressing, so I put my skills to use, sourced props and created a scene! Now I'm finally into it, and we are shooting this video today and tomorrow. And I'm excited to do it, now! What a good set and costuming can do for a girl's confidence is amazing!

The date for the Kickstarter launch is now officially June 16h!!!!

Thanks so much for your patience,
love to all of you!!

Another (not unexpected) Delay
about 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 07, 2025 at 09:40:48 AM

My wonderful Phamily,

I'm sure it is not surprising to hear that the tariffs are a big problem for this project. I'm proceeding as normal for now and shooting for an end of April/beginning-of-May launch date, but if the tariffs are raised by another 50% (bringing it to 70%) for China, as was threatened this morning, I will need to postpone and completely rethink what the plan is. For now, I have a locked price with PrintNinja, and I hope to be able just go ahead as normal and everything will just work out. I will post about any changes to that plan here and on my other social media platforms. 

Please reach out to me with any questions or comments! I am so grateful for all of you and I am always available for you.

Love to all of you!

Poster Reward Designs!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 18, 2025 at 08:06:27 AM

Good Morning, Pahmily!

I wanted to share with you these 2 poster designs that will be available at the $70 level or else as an add on. At the Private Box Seating Level ($70) You will get:

- a PDF copy of both Book 1 and 2

-1 copy of Book 2

-a bookmark

- a sticker sheet

-1 of these posters, your choice of course! 

 Kickstarter has add-ons this time, so if you want both you can get both! I'm making every reward available as an add-on, in case that is more affordable for you or else you just want one reward in particular. Whatever the reason, more choice is better, I say!

I have one more exciting reward to offer you, my wonderful phamily! Stay posted!

Thank you so much for your support, I can't wait to make this happen.

Love to all of you!
