Project Update: Happy mew year!!

Hello everyone!! 

The end of the year is coming to a close and it probably already has for some of you! I wanted to wish you a very happy new year. I hope that the upcoming year is full of success and good fortune for you!!! 


With the end of the year comes the last of the ZODICATS being sent off to their new home. I'll be closing the campaign soon enough, though if you have any questions/concerns you can always reach out to me via email: [email protected]

With the start of the new year all my focus has turned to my first Pintopia campaign, Purrfect Post!! I have all the designs finished and I'm really looking forward to seeing which designs will be the favorite. It's fun to see which become popular because it's yet to be any I will expect.



Purrfect Post will be a set of 10 pins and, if they unlock, a guest pin and a super stretch goal pin. There will also be the cross collab mini pin and the banner mini pin. So this campaign will, by 1 pin, has the potential to be my biggest yet! 

Alongside the pins I'll also have notepads, sticky notes, and notecards to unlock. I got a lot of no's for a notebook in the launch party poll, so instead I made the super stretch goal pin! I'm really excited for this set and I hope that you are too.

If you haven't seen it yet, please check out my Launch Party page and give it a follow. I'm hoping to get 4 more followers there before the end of New Years Eve! You can click the banner above or just click this handy link! Both go to the same page >w<

I hope to see you all in the new year, if not for Purrfect Post, then for one of the other 3 campaigns I'm planning for the year. 
I wish you all warmth, love, safety, and peace

Project Update: ITS TIME!!! OWO



Hello all!!

I FINALLY have all the stickers!!! I now have everything I need to start packing up your rewards and sending them out, Huzzah!!!

Next steps
  • I'll be locking down addresses in the next day or two. PLEASE double check to make sure the address you have is the one you'll be using!! 
  • If you're moving soon I suggest using the address of someone you know and trust to send things too. Once packages are out of my hands I have no control over them. 

I'm still recovering from the surgery I had so please continue to be patient with me as I move through fulfillment. I can only lift and do so much but I'll try to go as fast as I can! I'm so excited to send these out to you finally! I'm also tossing in an extra freebie for everyone as a thank you!

Hopefully I can get everything fulfilled and sent out before the 25th. Fingers crossed!!


Declined transactions
There are still a few of you with declined payments. Whether for the initial costs OR for just shipping. If these payments aren't fixed, you won't be getting your rewards and it is well past the time frame for a refund as stated in my TOS, FAQ, and several times through these updates. Please PLEASE check to make sure ALL your payments have gone through.

PINTOPIA- Purrfect Post

I'm steadily working away on my next campaign, Purrfect Post!! Its going to be a collection of 10 enamel pins, 2 freebies for collabs, and some cute stationary. I have the pins pretty much finalized in design and I'm working on the stationary designs. I hope you'll check out and follow the teaser page!



Thank you all again for your patience and I hope to see you again on my next campaign!

Project Update: Oopsy



Hey!

Sorry for the back to back email but I changed my mind with the last update. I'm going to order from other companies and get a refund on my Rockin Monkey order. I'm to tired to deal with their BS and who actually knows if and when they'll actually send out my order. 

Fortunately I was given another place that does chrome/foil stickers (which is the whole reason I went with RM) and I've already spent time ordering from them. It's looking like it might be mid December before those arrive, but the other specialty stickers should be here sooner I hope! 

I apologize for the delay on these but I'll do my best to get them too you ASAP!!

Project Update: ZODICATS sticker update



Hello!

I wish I could say this was going to be a happy update, but as I'm typing this I'm having to stave off my anger. I will try to keep that from seeping into what I type.

STICKER ORDER FROM HELL *fire emoji spammed a million times*
Rockin Monkey, the sticker company I went with to make the stickers we're still waiting on, has sold their company. A process that I am very sure takes a lot of time to happen and go through. Like months of 'in the talks' for selling a business, if not longer. I had originally went with them because I liked how they made their gold chrome/foil stickers (I'd ordered from them years ago) and I knew they would work with me to get them exactly how I wanted.

I had hoped if I put in my order IMMEDIATELY after the campaign closed that it would be plenty of time, since I had so much else to get made. I took a chance, knowing it might have been a 2 month wait. It's now been 3 and in that time I was told the wait was because their software crashed and then lied to, being told they would be sending them out to me 2 weeks ago. All that happened was my order moved into the final printing stages.

The ONLY reason I found out is because the rep I was talking too had ghosted my last 2 emails. So I sent a new one, not linked to my conversation with that rep, and got an automated response explaining things. 

SO WHAT'S THE PLAN?
They have stated that ALL the orders in queue are getting made and shipped out within 30 business days, 'if not sooner', from Nov. 10th. (when they shut their website down) I know that the last time I was able to check the queue, (Which I no longer can do)  my order was in the last stages of being printed. If my order had been any further back in the queue I would put in a chargeback. But with knowing my order was in the last stages of being printed I guess I'll, very angrily, wait. Very lividly and fumingly.

I will continue to keep you updated on this sticker DRAMA and BS.

PERSONAL UPDATE
Unlike certain companies that can't be straightforward with their customers, I like to try and keep you all in the know. Communication is important!!
Last Tuesday I had a major surgery, (Positive, good and wanted) that I've waited to get for a long time. I spent the last week in hard recovery mode and just got the drains they put in me taken out this morning. I still have a long time to fully recover, but I am past the hard part. With that out of the way, I can get back to refocusing on building up new enamel pin ideas and campaigns.
So with that in mind, things will be going forward, just a little slower to give myself more healing time.


PURRFECT POST
Though there have been sticker delays for ZODICATS, my next enamel pin set won't wait!! I'll be part of Pintopia in January for the first time and I'm excited!! I've been hard at work (prior to the last week) getting the designs created and I'd love if you would follow the teaser page to stay updated of launch day! I plan to not only have enamel pins, but stationary as well! Those designs are slowly getting made and I hope to be able to show those off soon. 



I apologize that this hasn't been a great update but I hope that the next one will be what we're all waiting for. Send all the good vibes. Please.
