Good Morning!! Happy Saturday!
Wanted to give everyone a quick update!! The books are in route!! 💙💙 They shipped yesterday on 9/30 and are expected to arrive at the port by 11/4. From there (California) they just need to ship to NJ where IAPC is and where they will be storing the books in their warehouse.
Heather lives in NY (a couple of hours from NJ) and Leigha is flying in from Colorado to sign the books and send them out with Heather. We’re hoping the books arrive at the warehouse by mid to late November and we’ll be shipping them right away, when they do.
Leigha is planning on making a trip in first week of December to make sure the books have arrived so figure early December the books should start going out!
We will keep everyone posted on changes of dates as we know more. We are so excited to get these in everyones hands!!
IAPC did an amazing job! The pages are thick and beautiful, with over 60 pages of artwork and inspirational words to share with each other!
We are in the home stretch 🙌
Thank you for your love and support.
Heather & Leigha
Holographic font! Changes color as you move the book!

Can’t wait for everyone to get their copy! 60 pages of inspiration and artists from around the world!
We're in the final stretch of layout, getting ready to print!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to send a quick update! We received the sample hardcover from the printer and still had a couple of quick changes to make. We updated the files and sent them to the printer, so they're quality checking and completing that now! Once we are good to go, the hardcovers will start printing. The pages and books take approximately 28 days to assemble, with ink and drying times, binding, etc; then they make their way to the US, where Leigha & I will start fulfilling and shipping out the orders. We anticipate everyone should receive their books sometime in November, but we will keep you updated once the books ship on their pallet to the US; from there, we will have a better estimate of how soon they will arrive in your hands (and mailboxes). The Double dust cover and holographic foil for the title all required more attention and work than a book without all the 'extras,' but that's not how we roll. We love the extras, and we know you will too! Thank you for your support (and patience). We're working on getting you the books as soon as possible!
With Love,
Heather & Leigha
Update on the Book! & BackerKit Surveys

Hi Everyone!
The backerkits were sent, a couple of months back now! Thank you all so much for responding!! We still have a few stragglers, so please respond if you can! The final files were all sent to the printer. The sample from our printer is being generated and sent to us shortly!! We are excited to share it with you when we receive it! Having a holographic foil required quite a bit of extra work, but it's going to be so worth it when you have this beautiful book in your hands!
Please do take a moment to look through the emails from backerkit, if you haven't filled it out yet, or if we need to update your address it would be there where you would need to do it.
Thank you all for being a part of this journey with us!
We are so grateful!

Hi wonderful backers! Thank you again so much for all the love and support and helping us bring this beautiful book into existence. We can't wait to see this baby in print... And we are thinking about upgrading to a Hologram foil... What do you think? We love creating little keepsakes for all of our early supporters. And we promise to spoil you.
Also, we sent out survey's if you can please make sure to check for them as they came through backer kit and not the Kickstarter platform. If you happen to find any fee's before you add anything please let us know. It should start at a zero balance, unless of course you want to add on one of our creative add on's - or, I still have some of my original cover foiled edition Love Lottery from my first Kickstarter too, if you missed out on our first Kickstarter. Melanie Darling did such a wonderful job!
Ps... Did you know Melanie is one of the gifted illustrators in this new book as well? Along with a few other illustrators that both Heather and I have worked on separate books outside Imagine A World. I think my new favorite thing in life is to just collect good people and have good conversations as I journey on. I adore all our team of talent, and hope this is just the start of something spectacular for us all. I hope to one day have an individual book with all of you.
Or maybe I really have been collecting good humans all my life - like my full circle from over 20 years ago meeting Ray Hart the talented traveling artist - I always knew the world introduced me to Ray for purpose, and how spectacular that he was a willing artist that we have the pleasure of showcasing his work in out book Imagine A World, and proudly on the walls of my home. No matter how long in-between post cards, and connection - I will always feel connected to you as you were a little whisper of a butterfly on my shoulder many years ago - Thank you for sharing you talents and hart with the World - As you truly have been gifted.
We are still putting together the details - but you have a fun idea - adventure or something to include in the rules - We are open to the ideas - Let's create this baby together - xo - Leigha

BACKER SURVEYS are going out YAY! AND PREORDER STORE LINK! (below)
We sent out a few surveys, and so far, all looks like it's working smoothly, so we'll be sending the rest out by tonight.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Please answer the questions about your reward preferences (there are 26 options for the 8x10" art prints and 10 different options for the paint-by-numbers). You will also be asked to provide your shipping information.
For those who missed out on some add-ons, you will have an opportunity to choose additional add-ons of books, prints, limited first edition copies of Love Lottery, Heather's angel doll, iron-on patches, a "Surprise-Me" box, a creative consult with Leigha & Heather and more.
We have already collected shipping costs through Kickstarter, but certain items that will ship separately (Leigha's 1st edition Love Lottery package and Heather's angel dolls, for instance, will have a small shipping fee attached as they will be sent immediately as they are in stock now).
Please note that there is a shipping fee for international backers and all backers who purchase additional add-ons now that the campaign is over.
We already sent the Digital Reward package for all those who pledged the Digital Package on up. Please let me know if you didn't see that email, and we'll resend it to you.
