Hi everyone!
I was finally able to get every survey sent out, and I ask that you please finish them as soon as possible!

I need to finalize numbers for the order as soon as possible.

If you have filled out your survey or placed a pre-order, please be aware that I am charging cards for add-ons and surveys on September 3rd.

The Ita Bags are really close to being finished,
once they're done, I will finalize numbers for the Titles, Claws, and Inserts.

The Coin Purse Companions are just about to start production!

The Pre-Order store is now open for anyone who missed the campaign!
You can find it here!

Thank you all again! 

Backerkit Exit Surveys Coming Soon!
about 2 months ago – Wed, Sep 18, 2024 at 05:24:37 PM

Hi everyone!! 
I'm so sorry for the lack of updates- things have been a little crazy in my life recently, and I was away from home for way longer than anticipated and therefore unable to work on the exit surveys. 

The bags and plush have been ordered! I'm still waiting on exit surveys to see how much of each claw/title/insert to order, but everything should still be ready around the same time! 

This took me far longer than anticipated and I'm really sorry for that- I should've honestly expected to take longer considering I made over 560 variations per bag and eventually had to reach out to Backerkit support to help me manage all of it, oops! :') 

Thank you so much, all of you, for your continued patience and support, it really means so much to me. 

I'm hoping to have most if not all the surveys sent out by the end of this week, so I hope you all look forward to it! 

Please let me know if you have any questions! 

Working on Exit Surveys! Important Update about the Lilypad Title!
3 months ago – Sat, Aug 03, 2024 at 03:09:03 PM

Hi Everyone!

First off, in an unexpected burst of support, we unlocked Echo the Bat right before our campaign ended!
Which means I've opened a poll for all backers to vote on which Echo design I've whipped up becomes a pin. (second place becomes the freebie charm!)

Here's a full image of all 3 sketches that are up in the poll! The poll closes this Monday.

Right now I'm finalizing prototypes with my bag manufacturer as well as finishing artworks to be enamel pin ready! Post-Campaign surveys are also being worked on, but it'll probably be another week before they're fully complete. I truly appreciate every single backer and supporter who's helped me get this far, so I'm also working on the freebie ufo catcher shaker charm! I really try to make backing my campaigns worth it and include freebies to the best of my abilities, so I hope you all look forward to them! 

We're Funded! Thank you all!

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to say sorry for my lack of updates- I've been busy at cons almost every weekend this month trying to promote this campaign! I'm happy to say that everyone's hard work paid off and we're funded for this project, and we're close to funding Echo the Bat now as well!

I haven't had time to finalize the pin designs yet since it is easier for me to finish artwork at home but I'm working on getting them done asap!! The two designs that will be turned into pins are the Blorbus Joyride Design and the Beary Best Friends Design for Latte!

If Echo is funded before we end, Echo will get their own matching charm and pin!

I understand we only have a matter of hours left, but now is the last chance to secure a UFO Catcher Ita Bag for it's pre-release price.


I seriously cannot thank you all enough for all the support I've received for this campaign! I'm so thrilled to be able to bring these Ita Bags back!

Since we are funded, I'm still working on the new freebies to add to every pledge tier!
A pledge for a Plush Coin Purse Companion will get you a matching charm!
A pledge for the UFO Catcher Ita Bag will get you a free enamel pin of your choice!

All backers will be receiving a free shaker charm based off the UFO Catcher Ita Bag! (Design in Progress)

Thank you all again for your support and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

We're So Close! New Poll for Enamel Pin Designs!
4 months ago – Sat, Jul 20, 2024 at 03:31:33 PM

Hi everyone!

We're a little over 70% funded with 10 days to go! I'm nervous but still hopeful we can do this!
First of all, I'd like to say thank you again to everyone who has already pledged!


With every plush pledge, you'll receive a free matching charm of one of the two following designs!


You can see the four designs I've sketched up below! I've gone ahead and made polls so you can vote on which Latte and which Blorbus will become Enamel Pins! Everyone can vote, even if you haven't pledged! Everyone who has pledged for a bag will receive one enamel pin of their choice!

Please keep in mind that these are just rough sketches! The finals will be much cleaner and more consistent.

Also, a backer suggested a wonderful idea for a UFO Catcher Shaker Charm! Let me know if that's something you'd want to be a part of this campaign! I personally think it's a great idea! 

With all this being said, does anyone have any questions about the bags or the plush? I'd love to answer them!
I'm going to try really hard to promote the bags on social media in these next 10 days, we can do this!!
