✿ my darlings, hello!

hello there, my dearest darling friends, and thank you so, so much for joining me yet again!! in this post i'll be updating the july upload schedule, and announcing physical goodies for august + august's wallpaper, icon, print and sticker themes!!

✿ part one — changes to july schedule!

my darlings, truly i am so sorry, but a lot of very stressful things happened in my life recently and i've been struggling so so much to keep my head above water, which means i may have to delay our july 'strawberry picking' until the first of august! i know this may sound disappointing, however, i promise good things will come from this, so please try stick with me as i explain 🌷🌷🌷

in may i created one theme, the bunny bakery theme, then in june i created two (kitty florists and space froggy) - already with two themes, i was beginning to lose sleep, working hard to finish the themes in time, but i am so so so so so grateful for the amazing support of my wonderful, amazingly perfect, generous patrons, so i decided to push myself to make three themes in july!! this was,,,,, a very bad decision huhuhu,,,,, 🌷🌷🌷

but don't worry!! if you are a july patreon and wish to cancel before august, that is okay, you will still get the strawberry bundle!! you may be thinking 'i paid for july, but now i won't get the strawberry picking bundle if bunny releases it in august!!' but i promise you have no need to stress!! i will be releasing it on the 1st of august meaning if you cancel before then, you will not be able to access it via patreon, but, if you were a july patreon, you can email me at oakfrogs@gmail.com to ask for the strawberry picking bundle completely free!! this is my small way of apologising for changing the schedule!! just email me on the 1st of august with your patreon email/ a screenshot proof that you were a patreon, and say someting like 'hello! i was a Patreon in july, can i have the august pack!' - and i'll send you the files free of charge!! 🌷🌷🌷

i also mentioned two paragraphs above that 'good things will come from this', and by that, i meant quality over quantity!! i hope that if i continue making two wallpaper and icon packs monthly and don't push myself too much, then the quality of the art inside the bundles will be much better!! i wasn't happy with how the forest friends or ocean friends packs turned out because i definitely rushed them, so let's hope the bundles i create in the future are much better if i give myself the chance to work hard and not rush!! 🌷🌷🌷

✿ part two — physical, mailed rewards coming in august!

this is not quite an official announcement since i still have a lot to figure out, but, some of you lovely people in our discord server may know i plan to begin sending out physical goodies to you, for people who pledge as a patreon in august!! 🌷🌷🌷 i'll be sure to post a proper announcement closer to the time with all the details!! this also means that the themes you picked below will be wallpapers, and will become prints and stickers physically mailed to you!! cute art, straight through your mailbox!! 🌷🌷🌷

✿ part three — how will physical rewards work?

all pledges are process the day you become a patreon, and the on the 1st of each month going forwards!

for example, if you pledged to become a £15 'strawbeary' patron on July 15th, on that date you will be charged £15 have access to my online content from July 15th till August 1st. On August 1st, you will be charged your August pledge and added to my August physical rewards list. 🌷🌷🌷

if you wish to get these physical goodies, you don't need to upgrade your tiers yet!! i will post an official announcement on the 1st of august, and you can feel free to upgrade your pledge then!! 🌷🌷🌷

✿  part four — can i join the mailed reward tiers if i am international, outside the UK?

my darling of course!! international patreons are so welcome!! however, if you are based outside of the UK, adding a little bit more money to your pledge helps me so so much with postage costs, but of course it isn't necessary!!

i will send postcard + sticker rewards via letter mail, in an envelope with a standard stamp. this type of mail is untracked and unfortunately  slower than tracked mail! 🌷🌷🌷
