Circus Sweeties - Series 2

Hey there, Cookie Crew! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

First things first! Time to announce the winners of the coloring contest. I really appreciate everyone's participation. Seeing all the creativity is always a huge mood booster for me, and boy did a bunch of you deliver!! I look at them all at least once a day hehe.

As I mentioned, I'm using a randomizer to decide this time, so... here are the winners!








Thank you to everyone who participated! I hope I spelled everyone's names correctly. Collecting information really left me discombobulated, so I apologize if I messed them up!

I want to give everyone something, just to show my gratitude, so... everyone who DIDN'T win above is going to get a FREE Toulouse sticker with their order, featuring this design:



It know it isn't much, but I hope it shows my gratitude to everyone who has been supportive and active, especially this time around.

I hope for Series 3 I'll be strong enough to host more contests. I really missed our writing contest, and I kind of wish I had just done it. 😭 Next time for sure!!

That said, VERY IMPORTANT: I won't be able to apply your credits until the pledge manager opens, but I will just as soon as it does!!! 🎉💗



Next up, I'd like to talk about our Fennec Fox. I'm sure people are holding out to see if she gets unlocked, but I'm so confident that she is going to unlock that I'm unlocking her now!  💗💗💗 She will be available when surveys go out!

I'm still going through the discussion I started and trying to puzzle out the absolute best name for her, but even so, she is now officially apart of our cookie crew lineup!  Whheeee!!! Shoving her in everyone's faces again, just in case someone hasn't seen her some how!!! 🎊





While we're here, I also want to share our custom designed cookie, belonging to MissMenagerie!! Meet her cookie, Sunday!! 🍨🍦


Aren't they just the sweetest thing!? I'm really honored to be able to help bring this design to life, and MissMenagerie has been very kind and helpful in the process! I cannot wait to see the first prototype of this chilly, but warm, sweet little treat!! 

I know a lot of you wanted to pledge for this, and I'm feeling pretty confident that I'll be able to have a few more openings for Series 3, thanks to MissMenagerie. ^^

Hi, Cookie Crew!!!

The contest ended yesterday, and before I pick the winners, I want to make sure I have everyone!

So, if you entered before 11pm yesterday and you don't see your image in the google drive, please leave a comment here with a link to it (and your social media post, if you made one)! 💗💗💗💗

Hey there, Cookie Crew!!

We're nearing the end of our campaign already! Time sure does fly... but we've done really well, and I just want to thank everyone, as always! I really can't say it enough. I'm so happy to be able to design plushies and share them with all of you!

Just a reminder if you are new to crowdfunding projects: This sort of thing takes time, but I will always keep everyone in the loop! When I learn something, or hear something from the manufacturer, I share it! Sometimes it's a week or two before anything new comes up. Sometimes it's one thing after another! It just varies. This is a long haul project, but I am going to do all I can to keep things moving as quickly as possible on my end!

With that said, let's move onto the fun stuff!! They finally got to Mimi Maple, and I'm super excited. She is definitely giving 'first sample', but I just know by sample 2 she'll look so close to the artwork I'll be weeping! 

I love the yellow, blue, pink combo. I'm just so happy with her already I can scream! I hope everyone else feels the same way!!

I ALSO asked them to make Toulouse's hat look more liked piped icing, and they finally got me an update on that too, and oh my goodness did they knock it out of the park I think!!


They changed the shape of the cake, but I don't really mind it... It's kind of giving cupcake now, and I think it's pretty cute. 🤔

I'm thinking on it, anyway!! So, yeah! That's our updates at the moment. I think they're starting our little camel friend next, too!! Speaking of our camel friend, the poll ended, and so her new, official name is... *DRUM ROLL*.....


Camille Cakepop the Camel 💕🎉💗🩷🎉💕🎉💗🩷

All of the names were super cute, and I would never have been able to pick on my own, so thank you to everyone who voted and participated in this really tough decision!!

Of course, you are welcome to rename your camel, and any other sweetie, for that matter! I love when people share what name they've given their new cookie pal. 😭💕

Thank you for all of the support!! Keep spreading the word!! We're still working on unlocking our fennec fox. The last day of the campaign, things tend to pick up quite a bit, so I'm optimistic we will. Until then, I'm going to continue to advertise. :3

Alright, phew, I'm all out of news, and I've probably talked everyone's ears off. Thank you again, for the millionth time!! ehhee 

CHARMSEY OUT 🩷

Hey there, Cookie Crew!


So, it looks like our winner is our precious little fennec fox! Hooray! I know it wasn't easy to decide, but I hope everyone will be kind to our newest sweetie!! 




While we are on this topic, I'd be happy to offer more cookies on the add-on page that have a chance to unlock if we hit a certain number of orders, but my only concern with this is that every cookie we add to the manufacturing load means the longer it will take to deliver plushies.

One of the most stressful parts of running these campaigns is the emails and comments that revolve around wait times. I've set the turnaround for this campaign out mid-next year, which I'm praying was a generous enough timeline this time. I learned a lot from Series 1, not to be overly optimistic. 

All that to say, I would need enough support on this idea to feel comfortable doing something like this, so below is a poll. Keep in mind that just because the sweetie is added to the add-on page that this does not mean the sweetie is guaranteed to unlock! It will only unlock if enough people add it onto their cart.

I'm still waiting for updates on prototypes, too! I believe they are working on Mimi and our camel, along with retouching Jeanie! I will be back with an update on these as soon as I have them.

Thank you to everyone for your support! 🩷
