Thank you for the patience! I wanted to delay this post a bit since I knew there would be a lot of similar emails going out post-Pintopia. Bear with me for this big update!

The campaign was an incredible success, and I want to thank all of you so very much for bringing Pond's Teahouse & Gardens to life! In the first hour, we reached our initial funding goal, and by the end of the campaign we were 572% funded! That's absolutely awe-inspiring. Every single design was unlocked! Thank you so, so much for making this happen. I'm beyond thrilled! 

BackerKit has, at this point, already started to charge cards for pledges, and on my side I can see that a majority of charges have gone through already. There are currently 16 failed payments, so be sure to double-check that yours was collected successfully! If your initial payment fails, you have until the 27th to fix it (some folks have had to call their banks, some folks have had to edit/pretend to edit payment info to get cards to retry, solutions vary a lot person-to-person)! You should get an email when your pledge is collected or if it failed, so be sure to check there as well.

If payments are not fixed by the 27th, those pledges will be dropped from the campaign! After that point, the failed pledges will be processed as cancelled, and these folks will lose out on their pins, add-ons, early bird goodies & early bird/campaign discounts, freebies, so on so forth. We don't want this to happen, so please make sure you double-check your pledges! You all supported this campaign so fiercely and I really want to make sure these rewards can make it to all who pledged! 

SURVEYS WILL BE SENT IN THE FIRST WEEK OF MARCH! This is how you will pick your desired design(s), add any additional items you might've missed during the campaign, and this is how you will be able to pay for shipping! A reminder that, if you do NOT complete your survey, I CANNOT ship your items to you. If you complete the survey late (after production has begun), you risk missing out on your preferred rewards. Late survey rewards will be subject to availability, and without guarantees. You must fill out your survey to completion & submit it in order for it to count.



That's it for now! The next update I post will be once surveys begin to go out. Thank you all so, so much again for making this happen!
