i didn't wanna crowd everyone's inboxes so soon after the campaign ended, so here we are -- a big ol whopping THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to everyone who supported the campaign! 💫 it was an amazing experience getting to participate in pintopia for the first time & im so grateful that I got to do this all with you. 💛

SO, WHAT'S NEXT?

over the next two weeks, pledge amounts will be collected by backerkit & transfered over to me! once that's all done, surveys will begin to be sent out in order to collect shipping information & any other add-ons you might like.

now, shipping might be a little squirrelly -- i can now officially say that ive moved from the US up to Canada during the course of this campaign, which obviously means that shipping prices would be wildly different for US & Canadian customers. Im currently workshopping a solution that would only raise the cost of shipping for US customers by a small amount (& would lower the cost for Canadian customers), but I'll have to test it out first and see if it works! If not, I'll eat the cost of shipping regardless since you all agreed to support the campaign based on US shipping rates.

l'lI have a chat with backerkit too and see what they recommend! For now, we can relax for these next few weeks while funds transfer over, and I'll have more to share in the near future!

thank you all again for your trust & support, & im so excited to get started on making these pins for you 🥺

we've got a photo from our manufacturer of the sample for the pin banner! they'll be shipping it to me as well, but here's what they sent to me this morning...

I love the gold hardware on top and the size looks great! Depending on how it looks in person, I may ask for some smaller grommets and shorter tassels (so we can fit maybe one more on bottom) but im reserving judgement until I see it in person :) I'm so glad they were able to get the sample done so fast!

Also, be sure to check with your bank and make sure your pledge for the campaign went through correctly! We have a few errored pledges showing up on my end, and I believe you have until the 25th to correct them 🌠

Have a great rest of your weekend, everyone!

wow!! you guys blew me out of the water yesterday and unlocked our final bonus pin slot in under an hour -- everyone loves miss baker! 💛 with seven total unlocked designs now, you'll all have plenty of options to pick from on your pledge manager survey.

as we near the end of the campaign, there's a few things i wanted to share:

- ALL INCLUSIVE PIN PIERS do include the bonus seventh design, without adding to the price! (i just cant edit the total included items at this point in time; theyll be added in after the campaign is over!) so if you wanna get a great deal on all of the unlocked pins, upgrading to one of the bulk pin tiers is a great idea.

(this will not include any pins that end up being unlocked later on during the preorder phase.)

- our preorder store should be up within a few days of the campaign ending! I may add in the ham pin design as an unlockable 8th pin if enough people order his pin specifically, but we'll see!

- pledge surveys will be sent out in around two weeks. this is when you'll pay for shipping & any additional add ons you might like, so keep an eye out!

- ive sent in for a sample of the hanging pin banner! this is a totally new product for me so im excited to see how it'll turn out. fingers crossed we get it right the first time! 🤞

that's all for now! have a great rest of your week, everyone -- and see you on the other side! 🌌
