Hey monster lovers!

I'm so sorry for the delay in getting a new update out to all of you. Between having a convention at the beginning of July & moving immediately afterwards & taking time to settle in, things have just been a little hectic in my personal life.

Thankfully my husband and I (and our pets!) are settling in nicely in our new home! I'm finally in a spot where I can start shifting gears back to working on the campaign.

I have good news - 4 out of our 10 pin designs were delivered yesterday! This partial shipment included Cyrus, Enoch, Gideon, and Zak. I will likely start grading those later this week.

The manufacturer is still working on the rest of the designs. I was not expecting them to take this long with them, and for that I do apologize, and appreciate your patience and understanding.

We are, however, still on track for the original time frame estimate of shipping in October - delays like these are the reason I add a lot of extra time buffer into my timelines!

Regarding Backing Cards:

Typically, as previous backers know, I include backing cards with all my enamel pins. However, I am not including backing cards for pins on this campaign, and likely won't be for any future campaigns unless stated otherwise.

I know this might disappoint some folks, and honestly it disappoints me too, however, I have to watch out for my physical health first. I have a chronic repetitive stress injury in my hand and after how much strain my last enamel pin campaign put on it just from putting on backing cards alone, I unfortunately have decided to forego them.

The good news is that removing this step from the fulfillment process will make shipping to SO much faster. Backing and bagging pins takes weeks of my time and removing that step will expedite things tremendously, which means that all of you can get your rewards sooner!

Thanks for understanding!

Last but not least, I took a few quick pics of the postcards. Apologies for the bad lighting and low quality, I have not had the chance to set up a proper photo studio yet. Still, I think they turned out great! I ended up deciding to do the profiles on the back of them.

And I believe that wraps it up for this update. Thanks for reading this far and I hope you all have a great week, and I'll try to get back to you with the next update much sooner.
