Last of the Stretch Goals - Updated

Update #14 · Sep 25, 2012 · 6 comments

Hey folks,

Alright, I thought that 100,000$ would be our ultimate goal. I was wrong. You guys wanted more so we are going to give you more. I've added our final, really final stretch goal. 

If we make it to 127,500$ all of our backers will be entered into a random drawing for one of Becky's original watercolour pages for The Bear. 

This is it folks, 24 hours away from the end of this thing. It's been a wild ride! I can't tell you how excited I am to get these books out.

      Everyone gets an original print? Or only one backer when drawn randomly from the group? I'm only asking cos I think what appears above ("all of our backers will be entered into a random drawing for one of Becky's original watercolour pages"), and what appears on the main page ("Everyone will be receiving books signed by Becky and Sohmer that will include bookmarks, a dust jacket, and an original print") have me - and maybe others? - a little confused.

      Either way, I'm so excited that we raised so much! This project not only motivated me to back you guys financially, but with my sister having her first baby early next year, this project prompted me to join Kickstarter for the first time and get involved! Now I'm flush with opportunities and considering a project of my own. Thanks so much, Ryan and Becky! It truly is an amazing book. :)

      I've pledged all I can afford to, but I'm happy to do so, because I can't wait to share this with my son. :)

      I'm not sure when you added the goat/ram tantrum picture to the front page, but thank you. My recently-two-years-old son has been very fussy in the evenings for the past week and just threw his biggest tantrum yet last night. It's hard to watch and live through those moments as he's growing into that space, but that one picture just reminded me of the perspective that I need to have. No matter how loud he gets, he's still my little boy and I love him. Again, thank you!

      I can't wait to get the whole book in my hands!
