A big huge thank you to all of our backers that made this dream a possibility! We are so overjoyed that we can move forward with this project and order this beauty in hardcovers!!!
Send us your kiddos names, and I will add them to the stars in the endsheets! We can't wait to make this book extra special for each of you. (Please respond by 5/28 in order to confirm your stars get added)
Also, we couldn't be any more excited about our golden book marks! Can't wait to surprise two of our lucky backers with this keepsake! And a little library from the authors: Lean/Huggins too!
Love, hugs, and books,
Leigha Huggins & Heather Lean
Sending love from our world to yours.
Grateful and Blessed
We just wanted to take a moment to say we are so grateful and humbled for all of the support, from family and friends and people we never met! Our hearts are so full. With your support, we nearly doubled our original goal of $11,111, which means we are going to be able to print our book in larger quantities than we originally expected. More children will get to experience the beautiful artwork in the book and the beautiful affirmations written across each page. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts, we are so grateful.
So what comes next?
1) If your payment has not yet been processed, it should be shortly. If there are any issues with collecting your payment, Kickstarter will notify you to make any necessary changes to your payment method.
2) We are working on the survey, which you should receive in the next couple of weeks. This will ask you for details and options (i.e. if you are including a child's name in the end pages of our book, if you purchased a canvas or art print, it will allow you to select from the available options) Once you receive the survey, please complete the survey and finalize your shipping information. You MUST complete your survey in order to receive your items. We will be unable to send your order if we don’t have your address.
*If you have any questions or concerns or need help once you receive the survey, please let us know, we want to make this an easy process!
We are so excited to print the books and get these beauties in your hands!
We love you all so very much!
With Love & Gratitude,
Heather and Leigha
Thank you all with so much gratitude!!! We can't wait to spoil you all with our books and remind our world of the little things that make if feel magical again. And I can't wait to live on each of these pages in the real world for the next 26 days - I'm going to start with the page of friendship! I have been so blessed throughout my life with people who love me! So now that I'm wrapping this project up (before I start another, I want to connect with my people, get out into nature, explore with my kiddos and just getting outside more... who's with me)? And thank you for allowing me to chase my dreams, because by your support we just give permission to more watching to chase their own dreams too!
What if this concept of a treasure was always supposed to be found tucked away in a book, what if the true messages of this treasured experience or ultimate win, was never behind the wrappers of willy Wonka and the chocolate factory created by the brilliant Roald Dahl, what if this incredible and talented author just so happened to create a book, that became my son’s favorite movie, that has now just inspired my now? However, even if this idea never connected or was never acted upon, you Mr. Roald Dahl created an experience of true indulgence through the excitement of chocolate through just words alone, you became more with each accomplish you made, I’m sure you are a mentor to many, a metaphor to some, and now part of millions of childhood memories, mixed with dreams and creativity. And now responsible for more then you will ever know. Maybe that’s the magic of a book, you don’t know who it touches, or in which way, was it a message or idea that got cashed in now? Or did it get tucked away for later? Do your words get repeated and your ideas recreated or built upon to so much more? What if life is just a good series of connect the dots, and you can’t help but to win, just by picking good healthy dots to be around, by inspiration, knowledge, experience and skill, what if you Mr. Roald Dahl were the man to thank for it all? But, it would be impossible, it couldn’t be just you, for there are so many pieces of the puzzle and stories in-between the seen. You went through a lot Mr. Roald Dah, and from my understanding you lost your daughter to polio – Which I’m deeply sorry for your earthly loss, but will celebrate your heavenly gain. Through the heartache and pain of the imaginable, you somehow remained creative and expressed I’m sure just a tad different after going through such pain, it was a distraction from this life which can so many time feels like a drain – but there is magic within and through the stories you wrote – and I hope you hear this as a genuine thank you note – for if the universe were taking letters I would surly write in, and let them know that you Mr. Dahl have created more joy, and creation then you know, and that’s the beauty of what we create that seems to somehow stay. And I’m thankful for you now showing my dots a new way. What if your book alone Mr. Roald Dahl was the reason, I connected the dots and created the idea of the golden book mark as a treasured keepsake golden ticket piece to give away in my Kickstarter, and that’s what gets my book the attention it deserves. I think this is a book that everyone could truly take a page out of, and live a happier life by being open to one book alone. Let’s let love be loud by creating an idea and an excitement to spread some love in our world one book and one page at a time – which encompasses the message we all wish we could see, hear, or right now just feel. We are all connected, we are all together, but we need reminders now more than ever of the words that inspire our simplistic everyday purpose and living: Friendship, treasures, gratitude, hope, forgiveness, adventure, dreams, possibilities, creativity, choices, togetherness, helpfulness, and more … we are here for adventure, love, freedom, hope, wonder, self-expression and more. We imagine a world daily, it’s the one we wake up to each day. Let’s imagine a better world for all, one page at a time. We would love your support to help fund our book in the best way possible. Making this a true keepsake, and now a treasured memory of a book in time that was once created and before that imagined. What can you imagine your world to be?
We wanted to add some more magic to this world. So we thought up an idea. We're not sure what came first, the chocolate, or the bookmark. But we were inspired by THE GOLDEN TICKET from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. So here's the Golden "Scoop"
We wanted to create some excitement for our amazing book release going on right now!!!
Maybe you'll think this is a bit wonky, maybe you'll love it, but here it is....
What if this concept of a treasure was always supposed to be found tucked away in a book
What if the true messages of this treasured experience or ultimate "win," were never behind the wrappers of willy Wonka and the chocolate factory created by the brilliant Roald Dahl, but about the message, of imagination, creativity, love, and the lives you touch with that magic? That’s the magic of a book, you don’t know who it touches, or in which way, was it a message or idea that got explored now? Or did it get tucked away for later?
As an ode to the late and great Rohl Dahl, we decided to make a golden "ticket" of our own. Except instead of a ticket we're hiding golden bookmarks. There will be THREE lucky winners who will win our entire signed library. We will randomly have them hidden inside the books. Every other book will have a regular bookmark, but THREE lucky winners will have a golden ticket! How fun and exciting to get your package and find out if you're a winner. We are trying to bring joy back to all that we touch.
Let’s let love be loud by creating an idea and excitement to spread some love in our world one book and one page at a time – which encompasses the message we all wish we could see, hear and feel right now. We are all connected, we are all together, but we need reminders now more than ever of the words that inspire our simplistic everyday purpose and living: Friendship, treasures, gratitude, hope, forgiveness, adventure, dreams, possibilities, creativity, choices, togetherness, helpfulness, and more …
We imagine a world daily, it’s the one we wake up to each morning. Let’s imagine a better world for all, one page at a time. We would love your support to help fund our book in the best way possible. Making this a true keepsake, and now a treasured memory of a book. Everything that was ever created, was imagined first. What can you imagine your world to be? What if we all imagined different beautiful things and accepted all the different pages, telling different stories, but all lived in the same book? With the same connected spine. What would that book look like?
