Hello all! There isn't a *ton* to talk about this update, as I unfortunately have had a lot of back-and-forth with one of my manufacturers (the new one) regarding cost for the bulk of the pins; the originally quoted price has gone up significantly for some reason, and so I am attempting to whittle that down as much as possible, so I might be able to get all designs produced still (including the potion pins). 

Some of the pins are being produced by my previous manufacturer, and those are being worked on at the moment - I've attached a few photos of those as they are in progress. There was a slight change to the pigment used in the crystal ball pin, and due to how diamond dust powder is used, I could not have translucent enamel in the bottom of the rainbow pin; if this change is an issue for anyone who chose this pin, please feel free to let me know and I'm happy to allow a swap - I apologize for not asking prior to approving the design change, but unfortunately as the only option then was to use opaque enamel, I went ahead and approved it. 

I did ask to have less sparkle put in the top of the dark nickel & silver nickel crystal balls, so that the metal shines through more as in the original samples I was sent. I've only received one photo of the freebie pin so far, but it looks good and I'm excited to see the final result!

The graveyard witch pins are in progress as well - I had to make a change to the purple dress witch's hair (it was WAY too dark) and the skin on the blue dress witch was also much darker than I intended, but I have not received any updated images of those yet; once I do I will pass them along. 

Thank you all for your patience; I hope to have some more exciting updates for you all soon!

Title says all - apologies for the delay in this step. 

I will charge remaining balances once pins are on their way to me. Another update with information regarding tariffs will come in the next few weeks when I give the 48 hour notice for cards charging. 

Addresses will remain changeable up until I begin packing orders & print labels (I lock addresses in waves as I ourchase & print labels). 

The remaining update is pretty much all just info for backers regarding their surveys - but I wanted to be sure all interested followers had a proper link to the pre-order store :) 

Hi again - sorry for the quick double update, but I of course overlooked some things/forgot important notes in my last update 😬

The 5 of us unfortunately have to manually check our list of folks who qualified for the initial freebie set, as backerkit didn’t provide us with a list of our own 2 pin backers - I’m hoping this will be done in the next week or so.

I also didn’t realize that backerkit implemented a new feature that automatically added items associated with early bird and return backer incentives to your cart - as such, you all who have one or both of those are likely seeing the items show up twice. I am going through to manually fix that as well, but it will take a bit of time. I am a chronic over-checker though, so rest assured it will get taken care of during one of the 10 different obsessive checks iver everyone’s orders I do between now and fulfillment 😅

I *think* this is it, but again, feel free to comment or reach out elsewhere if you run into further snags!

Thank you all so much for your kindness and patience 💖💖💖 I appreciate you all greatly!!

Hello all! No issues arose during the smoke test surveys, and enough have been answered that I am happy to send the remaining surveys out.

Some additional notes:

Popsicle panic gacha spins WILL BE available, so if you already filled out your survey and wanted to go back and add those feel free. I will begin charging cards for those who want theirs charged ASAP on MONDAY, just to give a little bit of extra time for folks to make any edits. After Monday I will be checking once a day to charge any newly filled out surveys.

I had forgotten to add in a question asking if anyone who backed for popsicle panic and this campaign wanted combined shipping - I will be going through to manually e-mail anyone who might qualify for that before I ship out Popsicle Panic orders (which should begin shipping out by the end of June). 

I think that's it for this update - please fill your surveys out ASAP, as I will be locking them and placing the order for pins within the next two weeks. The VERY LAST DAY to fill your survey out will be July 3rd. I will be sure to give at least 48 hours notice before locking surveys (unless you opt for an immediate lock & charge).
