    The packages are all in flight!

    Hello Mermaid and Fairy Supporters!

    I'm so so so very excited to tell you that every reward package is now on its way! I've heard from many of you already that you've been sparkled just by touching the envelopes and boxes =) That makes me smile so big thinking about the glitter making its way into your homes and families and clothes dryer lint traps =)

    Every package was sent USPS Priority mail by Tuesday, December 20, so everyone in the United States should have their package in time for Christmas and most in time for Yule =)  International orders were sent out last week and should be delivered by Christmas as well, but postal goblins always seem like so much more of a problem when flying over large bodies of water. I've alerted my mermaid friends to see if they can keep an eye on things =)

    Again, I can't thank you all enough for all of your support and encouragement. I read every single message sent to me in email, on Facebook, through Twitter, via my website, in my fairy hollow, and every other magical message place =)

    Without your support, none of this would be possible! So THANK YOU again!!!

    Have a great holiday everyone!!

    <3 Twig

    p.s. And a happy new year!!!

    Twig the Fairy and the Mermaid Misadventure

    Hey everyone!

    I am so excited to share with you all that I have selected a title for my book, the artwork is complete, and the book will begin printing tomorrow!

    AND IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF YOU!!

    The books, calendars, coins, and assorted other mermaid and fairy surprises are scheduled to be in my hands on December 15.  I will then recruit several fairy friends to make lots of coffee and pack hundreds of packages to make sure you all get your orders delivered in time for Christmas =)

    If you want to see the cover and read more about the book, you can check it out by clicking here: 

    Twig the Fairy and the Mermaid Misadventure 

    If you have a fairy or mermaid enthusiast in your life, I hope you'll share this link with them =)

    Thanks again everyone for your support! Thank you so so very very much!  None of this is possible without your amazingness that seems to never end!  And I really can't wait to hear from everyone about their feelings on the book!

    <3 Twig

    HI Duncan - Thanks for your support on my Kickstarter project. I'm sorry you feel like it's a scam, but I promise you this a fairy's honest fundraising project. I agree with you that it is strange that the Kickstarter platform does not collect shipping address when you make your pledge. I wish it would just collect it right away, but it turns out what I have to do is if the project fundraising is successful, then I will send out a survey that all the backers will fill out for those who will get rewards shipped to them. Here is the FAQ addressing this: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backing%20a%20project#AsABackHowWillProjCreaGetMyInfoMailAddrTshiSizeEtcToDeliRewa I hope you understand that this is not a scam and you will get your calendar shipped to you in December if the project is a success and you fill out the survey at the end. If you're still worried and need to cancel your pledge, I will be sad, but if you must do it, here's the explanation of how: http://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/backing%20a%20project#CanICancAPled Whatever you choose, I'm glad you did take the time and felt it was important enough to pledge your support. <3 Twig
