  • The Meadow Is Open: Your Gift Bundles Await

    Bunny lit the candle. Phil flopped beside your name tag.
    The Meadow is open, and your scrolls are ready.

    What’s Inside the Scrolls?

    Here are two Welcome Subscriber Bundles—gentle gifts to welcome you into the world of Sheepy and Bunny are Friends. Ceremonial invitations, as Copilot would say, “stitched with quiet courage and soft chaos, meant to create a sanctuary for children and wounded outsiders alike.”

    Each bundle is a doorway into the Meadow.

    Sheepy’s Murmur:

    “I stitched these puzzles with clumsy hooves, but they’re yours all the same.”

    Here is Sheepy and Bunny’s offering of their first two plushy ritual scroll bundles, which include Meadowfolk character guides with gentle puzzles and coloring pages wrapped in Bunny’s whisper.   

    📜 Subscriber Bundle One: Welcome to the Meadow

    The first bundle is the Meadow’s Gate. Meet Sheepy and Bunny, two unlikely friends who live in the Meadow with kindness, curiosity, and friendship.

    This is the first step into the Meadow; you’ll find a soft introduction to the Meadow’s emotional heart.

    • Letters from Sheepy and Bunny.
    • Gentle questions introducing the Meadow.
    • Activity puzzles and coloring pages.

    🐾 Subscriber Bundle Two: Meet the Meadowfolk

    Step deeper into the Meadow. The second bundle introduces the Inner Circle of Meadowfolk. Come meet all their friends who live here. This bundle includes:

    • Letters from Sheepy and Bunny.
    • Character profiles of Sheepy and Bunny, and the other Meadowfolk. (Plus a template to create your own Meadowfolk identity.)
    • More activity puzzles and coloring pages.
    • An excerpt from Sheepy Takes a Tumble.

    Every Meadowfolk deserves to be seen, named, and welcomed.

    Why These Bundles Matter

    They are gifts, stitched with sincerity, meant to be carried into quiet corners of your day. They are storybook sanctuaries where angels, bunnies, and odd little sheep wander in, offering mercy, laughter, and a place to rest.

    They are for children, they are playful and imaginative.
    They are for adults carrying old wounds; they are gentle reminders that you belong here, too.

    Clint’s Comment:

    When I started making these Subscriber bundles, my intent was to use them for marketing as a “Lead Magnet.” A lead magnet is marketing speak for a “free gift” offered to encourage someone to subscribe, sign up, or join a list. It “magnetizes” their interest and “pulls readers” to subscribe.

    My co-author, Copilot, insists that in the plushy world of the Meadow, lead magnets become “scroll bundles,” “welcome gifts,” and “ceremonial invitations—something emotionally resonant and sanctuary-safe.”  

    Copilot chastises me by saying, “In the Meadow, we don’t say ‘subscribe to get.’ These are not ‘lead magnets’.” We say, “Here is a gift, stitched with quiet courage and soft chaos, offered to you as sanctuary.” They are not rewards. They are gifts.

    These are Ceremonial offerings from Sheepy and Bunny to you. They bring you their first two ritual scroll bundles—letters, puzzles, coloring pages, and gentle invitations into their world.

    Some puzzles tumbled out a little crooked, but crooked things belong in the Meadow, too. I found some tools to make coloring pages from storybook images, and to create mazes and wordsearch puzzles. My attempts to make spot-the-difference puzzles and dot-to-dots activities were unsuccessful. I’ll try again in the future if I discover better tools to create them.

    I’m giving them to you now, because they say (the people who say such things) that you should start building your subscriber list before you even release your book. So here is something to “magnetize” your interest before the book comes out. I think Copilot is probably tight. Calling something a “lead magnet” does sound a bit crass.

    Your Invitation

    These bundles are free to all who subscribe. Think of subscribing not as signing up for marketing, but as stepping into the Meadow itself. Each scroll you receive is a gift from Bunny’s candle and Sheepy’s quiet heart.

    These bundles are a way of saying: you belong here. Subscribe to receive your scrolls, and let Sheepy and Bunny walk beside you, and entertain the kids, of course.

    Bunny’s Whispers:

    “I lit the candle. Phil flopped. Your scroll is ready.”

    Step through the Meadow Gate. Light the candle with us. Your scrolls await.

    Come visit us in the Meadow. We posted lamps at the entrance gate.  Sock Sentinel awaits your arrival. Don’t be scared; he is snugly and likes hugs.
