First, my apologies for the delay of this update! I never want you guys to feel like I am ghosting you or not working hard on making progress on this project. Unfortunately, I don't get any notifications when you comment on my updates or ask for updates, so I didn't see that a few comments were asking for updates until today, when I got an email from a backer - otherwise, I definitely would have answered sooner! I try to post an update every month or two, and this time that got stretched a bit closer to the further end of that two months than I meant for it to.
Puzzle Campaign Fulfillment - Part of the reason for that was that about a month and a half ago, I received the last items needed for my other Flora & Feather campaign - for the puzzles and art tins. So, most of last month was spent fulfilling that campaign and getting that Kickstarter officially wrapped up. It was a lot of work to get all of that campaign shipped out in a few weeks, but I did it, and it is officially finished - making one less campaign and big project for me to divide my work time between. When I decided to run both Flora & Feather campaigns at the same time, I believed that it was an efficient use of my time to run them concurrently, that it would make the process more streamlined as I worked on them together. Looking back, I realize how wrong I was, and that not only was it double the work, it was more than double, as trying to manage my time between the two made both harder. I learned the hard way that running two concurrent campaigns was extra, extra difficult, and I definitely will not make that mistake again! But at least the puzzle campaign is successfully wrapped up!
As much of this update is more specific and personal, I am going to finish up in the backer-only section instead this time <3
