This is the final reminder update that the entire Celestial project closes tonight. That means if you don't fill out your survey by tonight, you WILL NOT receive any rewards you purchased. You must complete your survey and successfully pay for final shipping. Once the project is CLOSED, you will be unable to fill your survey.

The following note has been at the bottom of almost every update and has been in my project FAQ since project launch.

NOTE: as per my terms of service in the FAQ, if you do not fill out your survey and fully pay for your pledge + shipping by October 31, 2024, your order for Celestial will be completely locked and you will not be refunded. I am not a warehouse, so I cannot keep your surveys open forever, nor can I store items forever if they are not paid for or claimed. Any money you have already paid will be considered a donation. CELESTIAL WILL FULLY CLOSE ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2024.

As always, if you have any questions, please email me at [email protected]

As of this weekend, all orders have been shipped out. Thank you for your patience during the minor delays, but I'm happy to say shipping went smoothly once the problems were fixed. Over 640 packages, more than 5000 pins, and a total of 84 displays were shipped out! It has been so much fun working on this project and I'm thankful for all of you wonderful explorers who joined me as we set out for the sky but instead we reached the stars!

My current project, Collectors Guild Cafe 2025 Calendar (& more!) is over in less than 30 hours! If you need a 2025 calendar, or a fun new coloring book, or even just want to enjoy our first 10-page comic book, please pledge to the Cafe. All physical pledges are receiving a free 3" Blaze the Phoenix sticker and a 2" x 6" Tree the Minotaur (Alister's wife!) bookmark!

As of this morning, lot of the shipping problems mentioned a week ago have been fixed, so I've started shipping some items! I started with a small segment to make sure everything was working smoothly, and I'm happy to report that as of this afternoon 19 packages have shipped out. The system isn't perfect, but it's as close as we could make it without delaying for even longer. I hope you're looking forward to getting all your celestial pins, stickers, display boards, satchels, and magnets!

Don't forget to follow my next project, the Collectors Guild Cafe 2025 Calendar (& more!) which opens September 6. That's only 9 days away!

Unfortunately the shipping backend in pledge manager is hitting some bugs and snags. The BackerKit dev team is amazing and has been working hard on fixes that are necessary. We need to make sure all postage is paid properly so that your packages can get to you!

I definitely don't like to do this, but I know you and I will be much happier if things go smoothly and CORRECTLY. If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].

We're coming up on the point where I will begin shipping your rewards! All pins have been checked, carded, and repacked, so they are ready to look pretty when you open your package! I should begin shipping out next week, as I will be taking the next few days to actually package things and such, and make sure it matches up with the packaging I have planned (such as what boxes and bags need to be used).

Additionally, I'm working on prepping my next project, the Collectors Guild Cafe 2025 Calendar (& more!) which opens September 6.

The final 10 pins are photographed below. Also photographed are final images of the display board, stickers, and magnets. Please note, the filler pins will not be arriving on the backing cards, and are instead in a colorful organza bag. They are small enough that it was really hard for me to prep them like the larger pins, so I decided to forego the backing cards to improve my prep time.

Which design is your favorite?

As always, please let me know if you have any questions.
