Hi Everyone
I have a favour to ask of you all. I would love it if you could visit this link straight away – http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1999703618/pyjama-pajama-inspirational-sleepwear-for-kids – and pledge some money to the Pyjama Pajama Kickstarter project. They are looking for £12,000 funding and they are so, so close to getting it but they have only 55 hours left to raise the last £1468!!! They have done amazingly well to get this close to their target amount but the massive shame is that if they don’t get the full amount pledged by everybody they won’t receive a penny of the money. That would honestly be a crying shame!
If they reach their target amount of funding they will donate 100 pairs of their newly launched pyjamas to the kids at Great Ormond Street Hospital. I think this is a lovely and well meaning charitable gesture. I hope they get to make the pyjamas and gift some to the kids.
You have until 7:18am EDT on Thursday July 25th to get your pledge in and to help support the creation of a new children’s inspirational pyjama company – ‘Pyjama Pajama’. The pyjamas will be fun and educational. You can read more about the new and upcoming sleepwear collections here.
You can pledge anything from £1 to £1000+. Please pledge some money if you can. There are varying rewards in store for you for backing the project depending on the amount of money you pledge.If you so wish you can also choose not to receive a reward but I’d say go for the reward! Caroline Kendal, who is the one asking for your backing, will be more than happy for you to be rewarded, as long as she gets the much needed funding for her ‘Pyjama Pajama’ educational design pyjama project! :o)
See below to see the rewards you can get for pledging financial support…. (correct at 5am on 23rd July 2013)

To be able to pledge some money you will need to first register on the Kickstarter website. Here is a screen shot of the information that you will need handy to be able to do this :-
You can make your pledge using most major credit cards but you cannot pay via Paypal. You can read lots of Kickstarter FAQs here.
The most important thing is that you will only have to pay out your pledged money if ‘Pyjama Pajama’ raise enough cash. If they don’t…you don’t pay. If they do…you pay and get your pyjama reward. Sounds good to me!
Please watch this video about the pyjamas you could be investing in:-
In return for writing this sponsored post I will be rewarded with some fabulously educational kid’s pyjamas for my daughter…as long as the company gets it’s funding that is. :o)
I really hope they do, not just so my daughter can get some new PJs but because I think the idea of crowdfunding is fantastic as it gives people an opportunity to really get involved in a project, right from those very first tentative steps of launching new company or idea.
Caroline Kendal who is the founder of Pyjama Pajama has been in the kid’s clothing business for a long time and she knows good clothing designs when she sees them. :o) She is the founder of the online children’s wear shop MiniWardrobe.com.
Best of luck Caroline …I hope you raise the £12,000 on time!
Just a quick reminder…. here’s the link to make your pledge – http://kck.st/1aK2fgg
