Someone made a great suggestion...please read!
One of the pledgers made a post on my Facebook page - "OK - looking at these Kickstarter stats and thinking if the 84 backers could each pledge 55 more dollars we could DO THIS! I am in - who is with ME - come on peeps - such a lovely cause." [Thank you Donna!
Now, Many of you already pledged generous amounts. And times are really tight for everyone, I truly understand this. If you can't up your pledge, there are no hard feelings from me or the barnyard [except The Head Troll, she is very protective of me even though she doesn't like showing it]. But if you can pledge, say $25-50 more, it can help this project get funded. You would be part of that.
And if anyone wants to plug this project to Kickstarter themselves and their staff, that might help too, to get more of a call out. Kickstarter has only brought in $900 of the funds, so it would be helpful, I'm sure, if they mentioned Misfits in their weekly news update and Staff Picks. Of course, they have their opinions. Thank you everyone! 17 days left!

The old goat has just fainted...but is being revived by The Head Troll. This deserves a private afternoon with the barnyard, and you'll be served with an Apifera Farm homemade lunch [fresh homemade breads, veggies and more from our farm, Katherine's homemade pie]. Tour of the farm, you'll meet many of the creatures in the book, tour the cemetery of some of the old animals now in peace, and we'll send you home with lavender and an art print to take home with you. And I will put you up for one night at a nearby [2 miles from here] at my friend's farm B&B where you can enjoy gorgeous views and more. Dates would have to be coordinated for this, but I have put July 2012 for now. It might have to be later and depend on your schedule too.
