There are currently 5 errored pledges (down from 10! :)) which means there's an issue with the payment method. Please check your credit card details to see if you need to update your card. If we have 75 backers (which we will if all pledges go through) then everyone will get a sticker added onto their pledge rewards
I have been working all week on the survey to send out to you all and hope to have it finalized and approved this week.
What happens next?
Once my survey is finalized, we will send out a "smoke test" so 5% of backers will randomly get a survey to fill out and we will make sure their are no issues with the overall survey.
If all is good, then we will send out the survey to everyone else.
In the survey: 1. let us know your shipping address (you will have time to change this later, if needed) 2. respond to a few pledge questions - this is where you let me know who to inscribe any books too, etc. 3. check out add ons - you want an extra plush, want to add on a donation, etc. 4. pay for any add on's
Shipping will be charged closer to fulfillment (this is when we will "lock" addresses too) so that we are able to fetch the most accurate rates for surveys. You will be notified after shipping fees are added in and before cards are charged so you can update things as needed.
As apart of your pledge to Rose the Owl Plush you get access to the meeting today and replay (Thank you for your support!)

We reached 75 Backers so everyone will be receiving a bonus sticker in their rewards - Hoot Hoot!
Hi there, this was one of your backers from when this first started and I originally pledged your Owl thing but rhen cancelled it since I thought there wasnt a pledge to get the plushie and some of the stickers.
However, I just found out I can get the plushie and stickers separately, but I accidentally lost the 48hr thing, can I still go get that or no?
Sorry to ask since Im also going through a bank change and wanted to know since I dont know if you can do that. Again, my apologies to ask.
I"m collaborating with Leia Barrett, a fellow children's book author. Her book campaign ends in a few days as well. Her book is called "The Odd Dog" and is the story of a rescue learning to live with a family for the first time. It's really sweet and will include real dogs as extras. You can check out her campaign at
When you back both The Odd Dog and Rose The Owl Plush campaigns for physical rewards - you get SPECIAL REWARDS from both of our campaigns - HOOT HOOT to that!

The design process for Rose the owl

When my husband asked me what I would like for my birthday this year - I asked for a Little Free Library. Arden lovingly created this beautiful library over the past several months and installed it for me this past weekend. A bunch of Authors who write about Disability and Neurodiversity generously donated their books to feature in the launch and I am so excited to have this now be a resource for our local community.
