BabyFurCon is often described as a magical, immersive experience for all who attend. The staff & volunteers go above & beyond to bring to life a convention like no other. A place where Babyfurs & ABDLs can enjoy connecting with friends & living out loud. It's a weekend where we can fully indulge in the lifestyle that is so often keep on the down-low or behind closed doors. To me that's where the magic truly lies. Being around others just like us in-person & in the creation of an accepting space where folks can fully embrace their little side. It's so much more than just knowing you are welcome; BFC creates a space made to help you drop into the zone, in a themed environment, where every little detail brings the fantasy to life.
I did not attend the convention this year as travel to the USA was not on the books; but I still wanted to be a part of the magic, to add a little something to the experience for everyone. Working with the sponsorship team I was able to contribute to this incredible convention this year. My sticker goody bags were a small part, a side-note in folks grab bags as they registered; but that's how these conventions are made. The work of so many people coming together to produce something amazing. I was delighted to be able to add a bit of sparkle to each attendees experience, to be a piece in the puzzle that made up BabyFurCon 2025.
Making Magic At The Collaboration Station!
One of the best parts of owning a sticker business is that I have the opportunity to create & give out sponsorship packages of cute stickers; something that furries in particular have made a large scene around. We're such an artistically driven group & it's a delight to see & collect all the custom stickers folks give out at conventions in sticker trading panels, around room parties or just passing by; stickers are everywhere!
I wanted to make a package that added to the themed experience & used the collection of artists work that helped build this immersive convention. This meant a bit of work on the side of the BFC staff, to work with me to create a set of stickers that was on theme with the convention & celebrated the work so many artists had contributed to it. The staff were eager to help & I was so pleased that my project came together seamlessly thanks to the efforts of so many individuals. I really can't thank the BFC sponsorship team enough for their work, great communication & flexibility while managing the details of my project while so many pieces were moving. They made an effort to stay on top of things and somehow always were.
The goody bags, little branded packages with 12 stickers each, contained artworks from Kircai, Alby, Marci McAdam, Ashen Whiskers & CrayonsNThings. I always treasure working with artists designs & sharing their work. Having the official convention artwork supplied by the BFC team to produce a themed pack that each attendee could enjoy was a lot of fun & I am so thankful to everyone who contributed.
Sometimes You Need A Little Leem!
Alongside producing stickers with artwork supplied by BFC I also wanted something special & personal to contribute. I do a bunch of work with Marci as she is a local to me, having also worked with AshenWhiskers on other projects previously & seeing they were the guest of honor this year; I knew just where to get that extra sparkle.
I commissioned 2 unique stickers, 1 from Marci & 1 from Ash; to include in the goody bags. Each was a unique species of lemur as that is the mark of Little Lemur, themed similarly to the convention so they meshed with the other stickers in the pack. They did such an amazing job with the designs & I was so pleased to be able to include a touch of leem in each person's goody bag. The lemurs I commission for Little Lemur are usually adults in diapers that are "little" due to their scale, not regression. Both artists captured this perfectly, in Marci's piece a large frog & net made the lemur look small & Ash's piece is hanging in a puzzle maze (a pose that was very complex & came out wonderfully). These stickers will be available to folks soon & are in the order goody bags I give out presently.

Earning Our Sharing Badge, Goody Bags For All!
Since starting Little Lemur Stickers I have included a sticker goody bag in every order. It's a fun way to display the different sticker styles available & I also love to share stickers with folks, especially as I collect more & more designs. When thinking of a sponsorship idea for BFC I knew goody bags would be the goal this year, I just had to figure out the scale of the project & ensure it was possible. Could I make enough goody bags, with 12 stickers each, for 1200 attendees?
After a bit of math & timing calculations I decided I could, but it was going to take about 2 months to print & enough material on 30" rolls to run the length of a football field about 8 times. In the end (including the little branding stickers on the goody bags themselves) I printed ~16,000 stickers & sorted them into 1,200 bags for attendees. The goody bags were going to contain 10 stickers, but I couldn't help but add in a few extras to make it 12 since I received more artwork than anticipated & wanted to include some extras for folks (like the little fairy lemurs by Nate, which were printed itty bitty at 1.2" tall).
It did end up taking 2 months, I have never made so many stickers so quickly. The machine was printing 10 hours a day for weeks on end & I would happily do it all again to supply that extra bit of joy, a bit of myself, to each person who attended this magical event.
Thank you all so much for your support this year, which helped me afford the materials needed to make this sponsorship possible; & thank you to BFC for including me in such a special event, it was my pleasure to be a small part of it.
Lots of love,
~Leems
