Project Update: Final Update: All Orders Shipped!
I wanted to quickly make one final update now that all orders have shipped. It's been a BUSY January and Feburary for me, as I had my first ita bag campaign on Kickstarter launch shortly after Holiday Market ended, and then my Pintopia campaign here on Backerkit shortly after that ended.
I'm finally in a period of catching my breath, and I just wanted to quickly say thank you again to everyone who supported me in 2025, which of course, includes those of you that participated in Holiday Market!
2025 was a big year for my business, with my first ever Pintopia campaign, Pin Quest, Pintober, and of course Holiday Market. Aside from that, I also did a whopping 20 conventions across 7 different states!
I'm relieved and happy to say that I am in a fairly comfortable place now financially as we go into this new year, thanks to all of your support. I'm seriously excited to see how much we grow together in 2026! I'm currently booked for 10 cons this year (2 of which have already happened), and am awaiting acceptance to quite a few more.
Wanna see me in person soon? I'll be at Tri Cities Con in Grand Island Nebraska March 15-16th, and Anime Minneapolis May 8th-10th.
My current Pintopia campaign is LIVE right now, and it's themed around N64 games! If that strikes your fancy, you can check it out HERE!
All returning backers from any previous campaign (that means YOU!) will get a FREE 3" "Clefairy Says Cope" sticker, and thanks to the current backers of the campaign, I just added the Kirby Dango pin as FREE pin for EVERY SINGLE BACKER (with physical rewards)!
There are plenty more freebies where that came from, including 2 free pins if you back my cross-collab with Rexus Illustrations' PS2 themed campaign, Save Files, and free specialty stickers from each creator if you back 3+ projects under the Game Over banner (a group of gaming themed campaigns all part of Pintopia!)
All that said, I hope to see y'all over on the 64 Bit Memories campaign!
One last thing -- My next campaign, Love is Super Effective, launches as part of the A Pin Of Pride collab here on Backerkit March 10th! I'm making my Pride variants to my much-loved Pokeball mini pins! If that's your jam, you can follow the campaign HERE!
Again, thank you all so much for the support, and I hope you and yours are happy and healthy in this new year.
Sending so much love,
Katze

Project Update: 🎁 Most orders have shipped! Remaining orders to ship next week!
I wanted to post a quick update that as of today, all but 6 of the orders from this campaign have been shipped. The remaining orders are awaiting survey completion, errored payments for shipping being corrected, are international, or awaiting delivery from my printer for custom Poke Peekers.
That said, I do have to push a reminder here to PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY and CORRECT ANY FAILED PAYMENTS! If either of these two affect your pledge, I CANNOT ship your order!
That said -- Now that everything is almost done for this campaign, I want to let you all know about my upcoming projects!
Next, launching January 22nd, I'm a part of Pintopia once again in 2026! This year's campaign is called 64 Bit Memories, and is themed around N64 games! The pins will all be controllers with items from their games around them. I do plan to feature Pokemon Stadium in this campaign, along with a ton of other classics. Click the banner to follow the campaign! My goal is to hit 100 pre-launch followers <3
In March, I'm taking part in A Pin of Pride, a new group collab from the folks who run Pintober! My campaign for this is one I'm super excited for: it's my Pokeball mini pins, but this time, with pride flags! I'll also have some new Pokeballs that I have never had as pins as stretch goals. Click the banner to follow Love is Super Effective!
Finally, I wanted to let you all know that I have a Discord! I post updates on crowdfunding campaigns, merch drops, convention appearances, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff over there. You can join HERE!
That's all for now. Thank you all for supporting me, as a small artist I really do mean it when I say it means a ton. I hope to see some familiar faces in the new campaigns!
Have a wonderful holiday! No matter what you celebrate, I hope it's filled with warmth and love.
Best wishes,

Project Update: Thank you for a great market! What's next? IMPORTANT Survey Info!
First of all, thank you for a lovely Holiday Market! It was so fun to try out a new way to use Backerkit, and y'all made that possible!
Now, with the campaign finished, it's time to send surveys! Typically, I want until the funds have been released to me to send your surveys. However, with limited time to get your goodies to you by Christmas (US Backers), I will be sending the surveys TOMORROW! Today, smoke tests have been sent to a few backers to make sure everything is operating correctly. Please fill that out today if you're one of the lucky few!
Please note -- due to the tight timeframe, surveys are set to auto-lock and charge when you submit! Make sure your address is correct, and that you're ready to pay for your shipping and add ons!
Surveys will be due by the 15th of December. Any survey completed AFTER that date will NOT be shipped in time for USPS's Christmas delivery cutoff date. There are also a couple of you with failed payments. Any that do not resolve and complete the survey will also NOT be shipped in time for Christmas!
For those of you outside the US, expect to see things shipping in January!
Today is also the launch of my first Ita bag campaign over on Kickstarter! Check it out, we've had an incredible launch!
That's all from me -- I wish you all a lovely December!
Stay warm,
