Thank you to everyone for getting your surveys in so fast! We are only missing 10 surveys now which is GREAT. Since this campaign has so many options, getting your feedback helps us a ton with figuring out what we need to purchase. 💵
We want to keep everyone informed about next steps! We've been considering this after the campaign did so well, and we have decided to buy our very own laser cutting machine to make the birds ourselves! 💸 We will be purchasing the xTool M2 which can print onto the wood before cutting it. This will be PERFECT for getting the exact colors of the birds! This will also open up so many future opportunities for our business. We are so incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this campaign. 💖
Some products will still need to be outsourced, and we will be getting that order placed soon. We will update everyone on that as well as how the process goes with our laser cutter! We have used a laser cutter before, but not one that can print onto the wood, so there may be a little bit of a learning curve to make sure your birds turn out perfectly. ✅
Once we receive all the surveys, we will be making the promised graph of the most popular colors! For now, we can give you a little hint of some of the most and least popular choices. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
Most Popular: Black (35), White (28), Yellow (24), Purple (24) Least Popular: Brown (1), Dark Brown (1), Light Grey (2), Light Orange (2)
That's all for now! We will post an update soon about how the production process is going! Thank you all SO much again for your support with this campaign!!! 💕

(P.S. From now until July 22nd, we are running a ready to ship campaign, Sprinkle Pete's Summer Shop! All products for this are already in hand. We have lots of huge deals on our most popular products! We would be honored if you'd like to check it out!!!)
We are officially sending the first of the surveys!! This is something called the smoke test to make sure there are no issues, where surveys only go out to a small number of people. If everything goes well with these first ones, everyone else will be sent their survey in the next couple of days! ✅ YIPPEE!!!
Please make sure to keep the campaign story page open to the 'About this Campaign' color list while you fill out your survey if you bought 1" stickers or pins! This will help to make sure you get the right colors. The grid aligns perfectly with the image so you'll be able to match the colors to their names!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
You can also add additional items to your survey at this time! FYI any money spent on the survey (including shipping fees) will not be collected for at least a month. 💸 So you have plenty of time to add any items you would like! You will also be able to update your survey after you first fill it out if you need to. We will send out another update when surveys are being locked! 🔒
Everyone has automatically had a 'Be Who You Are' and 'Bird Stack' sticker added to their pledge! 🤑 If you were a qualifying backer, you have also had one or both of the free pins added as well! Just a reminder that if you are a sticker only pledger, you will NOT be receiving free pins due to shipping costs! 📬 You will get the free stickers though!!
Thank you all again! 💖 Please comment on this post if you have any questions at all. We are SOOO excited to start getting you your birds! We're also very interested to see what colors people are the most interested in (maybe we'll make a graph just for fun). 👀

(P.S. If you know anyone who would love some birds but missed the campaign, tell them to check out our pre-order store!!)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR AN AMAZING CAMPAIGN!! This has been our most successful crowdfunding project by far. We are SOOO EXCITED to get the birds to you all!! 💖
We will be sending out surveys within thenext week. Please keep an eye on your email! 📬 The survey is when you will receive your shipping cost as well as selecting your bird colors and variants. You will also be able to add on any extras that you would like such as magnets, stickers, or more pins!
We currently have around $500 in failed payments. 💸This is no issue at all, but if you notice that your payment hasn't gone through, you can try updating your card or contacting your bank!
Thank you all again! We are super excited to begin the production process and will keep you updated every step of the way. Happy pride to everyone from us and all of the birds! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
We are in the final three days of the campaign! 🕔 It feels like it went by so fast.
Consider pledging now if you've been thinking about it! 💵 Any money we earn now will be VERY helpful with fulfilment. We are considering some bigger investments with the money we have raised from the campaign (like getting our very own laser cutter for wood so we don't have to outsource the birds!). 🪵
If you didn't see, a variety of magnet and sticker options have been added! You can add them to your pledge now or during the survey phase. 💸 If anything ends up not getting any sales (right now none of the sticker sheets have sold) we will not be producing it to keep costs low.
Thank you again for your support of Spread Your Wings! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 We know you have a lot of places to spend your money, and we are honored to have had such a successful campaign. Thank you for supporting LGBT+ owned small businesses!!
Based on the results of the poll, we have added some new magnets and sticker sheets as options in the add-ons menu!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
We will now have all of our 3" sticker designs available as 3" acrylic magnets! ⭐ These will be very durable and would look great on your fridge.
We also designed a 4" acrylic dishwasher magnet! Place it on the front of your dishwasher and flip the design to represent if the dishes inside are clean or dirty. 🧼 These are very useful if you have roommates or a large family, or if you just have trouble remembering!
Finally, we made two sticker sheets! 🐦 These are A6 size, which is approximately 4" x 6". They will be made of the same waterproof vinyl as the other stickers! We have two designs: pastel and classic rainbow. They also have some cute tiny flower stickers! If all goes according to plan the sheets will look exactly like this. 😅 Some small sizing changes may occur with the stickers and borders to make sure everything fits.
Thank you all again so much for your support! These are the last products we are currently planning on adding to the campaign. If you would like any of these, you can add them as add-ons or add them in your final survey! 💸 We are so excited about how this campaign has gone so far. There truly aren't enough words to express our gratitude to everyone for your support!!! 💖
