Survey Says..?

Surveys on the way.

Hey Everybody,

Just a heads up that we will be sending out Backerkit surveys on Monday. As most of you know we need these filled out so we can ship your rewards in a timely manner. So please check your email inboxes on Monday afternoon about 2:00 PM EST.

Another heads up, the Mews pins should be arriving around the last week of January, if not sooner. So if you plan to give it as a St. Valentine's gift you should receive them in the nick-of time!

Note: Not actual pin!!

The above link will take you to the pre-order store, so you don't need to do that, it's just there as a reference if you want to pass it on to anyone who missed the campaign.

As you can see from the image above, the pins will look something like this. I wanted to use a paper cutout to do a side-by-side comparison so you can see all the detail and nuance of the actual pins. 

That's all for now, have a very pleasant weekend and remember... Be on the lookout for those surveys!!

A Wing and a Prayer

Congratulations Everybody!! Our month long wait is finally over. It was kind of a touch and go for a while there, and we weren't quite sure how the story would end, but we held out hope, said our prayers and stayed the course. Now little Mews is soaring through the clouds and waiting to touchdown at your doorstep.

It's Good!!!

For those of you that backed for The Gargoyle Keeper  by Scott Gustafson, we can assure you that you're going to love it. Scott's attention to detail and painting-with-light technique really brings this work to life. The pictures from the campaign only do it somewhat of a justice. You'll see what we mean when you have your puzzle in hand.

Now we can can get to work on getting to those rewards that you have earned through your faithful contributions to the campaign.  We'll keep you posted on when you can expect your surveys. Stay tuned...

Thank you again sooo much =)

Happy New Year!!

Hello Everyone,

Lara and I want to extend to you our warmest wishes for a happy and healthy new year 😊 🎉

We'll as some of you may already know we met our goal at the beginning of the week, and of course this would not be possible without your participation. We really appreciate all you for giving our Mews campaign a chance to take off.

We know you'll be very happy with your rewards; and if we can just hold that line, or pass over it in the next so many hours, we'll get right to work on them! 

See you at the finish line 🏁

The Middle of the Road

Hello Everyone,

Just a few words to keep the fire 🔥 stoked so it doesn't get too chilly 🥶 in here; and to keep us on the Kickstarter radar. 

Well, we have reached the halfway mark of the campaign, and we're just $75 from seeing it to fruition. At this point, many campaign creators pull out their hair [if they have any] and gnash their teeth trying to find numerous ways to plan and scheme [usually by putting more money into their advertising budget] to build their numbers and bring in more backers.

But we're going to steer around that quagmire and be careful not to trip over any loose roots along the way. So this is what we're gonna do...

Plan A

Like the old story "The Tortoise and the Hare" we're going to move slow and steady, even when the rabbit leaves us in dust!! He'll get tired and take a nap as we slowly cross that finish line. And in the end, [hopefully] there may be a reward.

Til next time,

Eric
