Update #26: You must re-submit your pledges! Only 26 hours left!
Hello!
Just a friendly reminder to those who still need to re-submit their pledges that there are only 26 hours left of Round 2! Funding for The Dirties on Diapering was not successful the first time around and after many people asked me to, I re-launched trying to give it a second shot! However, funding seems to be even more difficult the second time around -- we seem to have more small pledges but our major sponsors are yet to be seen back! I would love to see Grovia, BumGenius, and Diaper Junction re-join the cause by re-submitting their pledge to Round 2! Nobody was charged the first time, so the pledge is still the same -- we just need it re-submitted! Here is the new project link: http://kck.st/aHh49E
THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
I hope to see you in Round 2! Only hours left to get your pledge in!
Sincerely,
Jamie Wilkinson

Update #25: 13 Days Left to RE-SUBMIT Your Pledge!
Just a reminder to backers of The Dirties on Diapering... funding was unsuccessful during the first try, and all pledges must be RE-SUBMITTED via The Dirties on Diapering Round 2! Here: http://kck.st/aHh49E Don't worry, nobody was charged the first time around! These are just pledges you are making, and NOT donations! Nobody is ever charged unless the project funding is successful! So please check out my project's new page and get your pledge RE-submitted as soon as possible! THERE ARE ONLY 13 DAYS LEFT FOR ROUND 2!
Also, I am excited to be doing lots of giveaways to backers of Round 2, just $1 or more will enter you into all drawings!! Also, any companies interested in being part of the giveaways, please email me SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com! Thank you so much everyone for your support!

Update #24: Pledge Reminder
Just a reminder to everyone who pledged during the first round of "The Dirties on Diapering"...
If you would still like to support this project, you will need to re-submit your pledge on my newly launchd "The Dirties on Diapering, Round 2" page here: http:kck.st/aHh49E Because the first attempt to fund this project was unsuccessful, nobody was charged and all pledges were void. Enough people wrote me asking to re-launch the project, so I am very excited to be trying again! I am currently doing giveaways to backers only (of any amount) during the new launch, and any companies interested in giving away an item or two to help promote this project and your company please email me at SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com. If the project is successful, I am still excited to give a dozen cloth diapers of any type/brand to one random backer. I also created a more informative video for the new Kickstarter project page. It's more of a slide show, but I think it's less distracting for people to understand the message. Again, any company interested in pledging at least $500 will get their names in a special thanks section in the book, along with the company logo and this time around you will also get 500 words to describe your business. Many of the smaller backer rewards are a bit more interesting and exciting too! This week I will be contacting both cloth diaper companies for their support, and local culture newspapers in the Portland area. I would love for everyone's help to spread the word in their area. Have anyone contact me via email (SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com).
Thank you again to all of my backers, I am excited to be re-launching this project! I know this can be big! I know we can make this happen!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Jamie Wilkinson

Update #23: Corrected Link...
If you were trying to click the link in my last email and got an error message, here is the corrected link: http://kck.st/aHh49E
Thank you again everyone!!!
Update #22: ALL PLEDGES WERE VOIDED!
Just a reminder to those who pledged during the first round of The Dirties on Diapering will need to re-submit their pledges (if you haven't already) to be part of this great project! After the project funding was unsuccessful the first time around, many people asked me to re-start! So, I have re-launched the same project again... calling it "The Dirties on Diapering, Round 2" ...in hopes of giving us more time! Most of the pledges for the project the first time around came in the last few days, so I'm hoping to do giveaways thoughout the pledging to random backers (of any amount) in order to get people to pledge early! Nobody was charged during the first launch and all pledges were void. PLEAE PLACE YOUR NEW PLEDGE HERE: http://kck.st/aHa49E
Thank you again to all of my supporters for your pledges and spreading the word! You guys are all truly amazing people doing great things!
Sincerely,

Update #21: Round 2 Begins!
Round two is launched! We have 30 days!!! The new Kickstarter web address for the project is: http://kck.st/aHh49E. If you pledged before and still want to be part of this great project, you will need to re-pledge again. Because funding was unsuccessful the first time, all pledges were void and nobody was charged. Thank you again everyone for your support! Check out the new launch w/a fresh new video, information, and giveaways!

Update #20: The Re-Launch!
Hello Everyone!
So as everyone knows, the funding for The Dirties on Diapering was unsuccessful the first time around. However, I am going to try one more time! I plan to launch my project again in the next couple of days. I would love to see everyone who pledged the first time pledge again! Nobody was charged the first time around. Unless the project meets funding goals, nobody is charged. It's an all or nothing deal. That's to ensure that the project can meet promises made. It would be difficult to both complete the project and give backer rewards without proper funding. My video for my Kickstarter page this time will be a slide show with information for backers to share with friends that may not know the health risks disposable diapers create. Hopefully this will help grab more people's attention and get more people excited to spread the word about the wonderful world of cloth diapering! Many people also don't realize how easy cloth diapering is today. Modern moms still envision pre-folds and rubber pants! There are so many different types now for many different type of people and situations. There are AIOs, AI2s, hybrids, Stuffables, Woolies, and more! Also, last time I noticed many backers pledged at the very end when they realized funding was not being met. This time I am hoping to find some great companies or etsy moms excited to promote their products with giveaways during the pledging process. I want to give away goodies big and small to random backers, hoping to encourage people to pledge earlier this time. If you are a mom or company interested in giving away a product, I would love to hear from you soon since pledging will begin in the next couple of days and will last for 30 days. You can email me at SugarSnapPhoto@gmail.com with the item you would love to promote and give to backers. Either I can list the item for you and will later give you the names of the winners so you can mail the free products or I am also happy to do that part for you if you just want to send your giveaways to me... Jamie Wilkinson, 2911 SE 147th Ave., Portland, OR 97236. Either way is wonderful, just shoot me an email! Thank you again everyone for your support! Please stay tuned this week for the re-launch! The web address will be slightly different since it will be re-launched as a new project. I will be sharing soon! Check updates here and follow me on Facebook and Twitter! Thanks again! I'm very excited!!!!
Sincerely,

Update #19: The Dirties on Diapering
I'm sure you have already seen that my first attempt to fund this project through Kickstarter was unsuccessful. I will be starting again real soon. I want to do some better planning for round 2, so it may be a week or so before I go again. But I will definitely find a way! I will also start a blog to better help people both keep up on what I'm doing with the project and also to be a part of it too! Thank you so much for all of your support! I hope you will join me again for round 2!
Sincerely,

Update #18: Today is the last day to pledge!
Today is the last day to make pledges toward "The Dirties on Diapering"! We're 36% funded as of this morning. I know we can do this!!! Let's spread the word!!!
However, I know you are all asking, what happens next if it doesn't succeed? Nothing? Well, sort of. Nobody is charged unless it's successful to ensure that everyone gets the proper rewards. It would be hard to fulfill rewards and do the project without proper funding. So! The next question is... what am I going to do if it's not funded today? I'll probably launch the project again! That will give us more time, however, it will also mean we'll be starting over and everyone will have to re-pledge all over again.
But I'm not thinking like that yet! Because miracles happen! We all know that! Just look at our precious little ones! They are the biggest miracles of all. And that's exactly why I'm doing this. Thank you again to all of the wonderful people, companies, bloggers, tweeters, facebookers, emailers, callers, etc. that have been helping! Only hours left! Let's go get 'em!
Sincerely,
Jamie Wilkinson

Update #17: ONLY HOURS TO GO!
Only hours to go! I'm hoping for a miracle here! I'm contacting everyone I can! We still have a way to go to get funded -- and don't worry, if it doesn't reach it's goal nobody is charged. But let's not start thinking that way! Call your friends! Call your favorite company! Let's help all mamas go green by choosing cloth diapers! Don't forget to mention that this book will be published nationally and through Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com! This is great advertising that people will buy & put on their shelves to keep forever! Plus it has a great cause behind it! Let's go get 'em!
Sincerely,
Jamie Wilkinson

Update #16: 5 DAYS TO GO!
Just 5 days left to back "The Dirties on Diapering" photo-journalism book! We have a long leap to go, but I truly believe we can do it! I'm excited to say Fit Pregnancy magazine has supported this project with a mention on their blog! Check it out here: http://www.fitpregnancy.com/blog/news/Best-of-the-Web-102582964.html Thank you Fit Pregnancy! I hope more people will help spread the word and help with a pledge! Don't forget to mention, if the project reaches it's goal, I'm going to give a dozen cloth diapers, any brand & type to one random pledger! Any pledge amount, even $1, will get your name in the running! Thanks you everyone for all your blogs, tweets and facebook mentions! Keep it going, it's the end of the race and it's time to kick!

And one of those giveaway of mine is AppleCheeks Cloth diapers! :)
Just wondering, if you don't get the project funded, will you still go forth and try to do the project and raise money a different way? I'd hate for the project not to happen becuase of a time deadline!
