Pre-order store now live!

Good afternoon, Backers!
First things first - Mug folks! If you have a minute, please click this survey link and let me know what color(s) you want. I'm going to try and get Pawley Studios some numbers to start working with.
Sorry about the delay, the pre-order store is now live! You can now order almost all of the rewards that were available through the Kickstarter here - https://storied-yarns.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders This will work for backers and non-backers alike. Keep in mind that there are no pledge tiers, only add-ons. For the custom-made items (mugs and bags) I'm going to have to lock down pre-orders at the beginning of August, books, stickers, and pins will be open until closer to the shipping deadline.
For those of you who added onto your initial pledge for add-ons - The additional money that you pledged will appear as credit in the Backerkit store. All you'll need to do is pick the extras you pledged for from the store and the credit will automatically be applied. You will be able to do this as soon as surveys have been sent!
Speaking of surveys, I've just about got the survey ready through Backerkit now that we have all the shipping worked. Everything will be shipped via USPS, that gets us the best shipping rates that I could finagle.
This week I'm going to send out what's called a Smoke Test for the Backerkit surveys. That means about 5% of you will receive your surveys, this way we'll hopefully be able to catch any issues that may arise before the surveys go out to everyone. If you don't get one right away don't worry! I'll send another update once I've sent out the Backerkit, I'm aiming to do that no later than July 1st.
I think that's all for now, have a great rest of your week!

Good afternoon, Backers!
Even though it's been quiet it's been quite busy behind the scenes! (okay, except for the first 48 hours after funding, I pretty much slept through those)
Where we're at - Funding has just processed, so Backerkit should be up within the next few hours! This means you'll be able to get your surveys done if you should so desire. This is the link we'll be using~
Orders - I'm going to start in on getting some of the smaller items ordered (dice, pins, stickers) along with some additional book and art doll supplies. I am also figuring out the best way to get
Art - Those of you who backed at the levels that include Feline or Canine Companion art will be receiving a message soon. Keep in mind that you can also choose to have a dragon companion! More details will be included in the message.
I think that about wraps it up, I'm going to get some of the interior artwork posted either end of this week or next week!

Thank you all for all of your support! As of a couple of minutes ago we've successfully funded!
Our next few steps are to wait for the funding to process (usually around 2 weeks) and get going from there. I will be sending out updates at least every other week to keep you all in the loop on the happenings behind the scenes.
PS - we were close enough to the 40k mark that I'm going to make full cover art happen. ;)
Have a great weekend, and thank you all for joining me in this project! It's going to be amazing.

Alright, since we're in the home stretch I figured I'd give a shout out on the last couple stretch goals. First, I'm switching up the next stretch goal to $37,500 - A new Hat/Cowl combo quest pattern! Second is the $40,000 one... and that one is special and will remain a surprise ;)
PS - My canine companion Napa wished to thank you all for hitting the Canine Companion goal!
