Hi everyone!!
I have some very exciting news- not only did all the stickers arrive on Tuesday, but the keychains and pins (and two other orders I placed for a fall update in my regular shop) ALL arrived on Thursday!
I had been planning on posting an update for the stickers on Thursday/Friday, but when I saw that the pins were out for delivery I decided to delay it a bit so I could show you everything at once :)

First- a special shout-out to my friends Rylee, Athena, and Maja for coming over to help me count, sort, and quality check everything! Rylee and I managed to get all the stickers done in record time, and Athena, Maja, and I got almost all of the pins done over the weekend. I still have a couple designs to finish up, but I do have some behind-the-scenes photos to share!

Stickers
The stickers look great! The creature stickers with the flags did end up being slightly smaller than I wanted, 2.8-2.9 inches wide rather than 3 inches, but they're still a good size for every-day use :) The larger 4" stickers ended up being much closer to 5 inches wide, which ended up being the perfect size in my opinion.

Pins
Counting, sorting, and quality checking the pins was quite an undertaking! It took me and two friends most of the weekend to get as far as we did, and there's still about 400 pins or so left to go through. After that, I'll take better photos of each design, and more importantly, get to packing your orders! In the meantime, here's some pics of the pins as we took as we went through them :)

Remaining Items in Production
There are just a couple more things in production that I'm waiting on before I can start packing orders. The Car magnets went into production a couple of days ago, though they are only going to take about a week to make and ship to me. I am also waiting on more bubble mailers and some sleeves to put the stickers in, but once those are in there will only be one more thing to make- the backer cards!
If you were part of my previous Celestial Insects campaign, you might remember that I designed special backer cards in two sizes to put your pins on to make the unboxing experience more special and memorable. I've been going back and forth on the designs for these, but I think I finally have an idea that I like and will be ordering them in the next couple of days. Once they're in, its Shipping Time!



Timeline
This may sound like a lot, but I will still be able to start shipping orders by the end of September! I'll be posting another update when the last items arrive and when I officially start sending packages out. You should get an email from BackerKit when I buy the postage label for your order, but it may take a few days for the tracking number to update as I usually buy labels in bulk then take a couple days to pack a bunch of them before I drop off a batch at the post office.

As always, if you have any questions you are more than welcome to comment them here or send me a message on Instagram! I'll try to be better about posting updates in the next couple weeks, but I am usually much better at responding to DM's if you have an urgent need :)
