As this project is winding down and most of you should be receiving your celestial guardians anytime, there are a few things I would like to note.

First, a fun note of something I forgot to mention before:

All stickers except the small star sticker are waterproof/water resistant, which means you can put them on water bottles, or on your car (or in a sticker book or anywhere else you please!).  This also includes the sticker sheets too!

And a less fun note:

- There are still 9% of backers who have yet to fill out their survey
- There are 6 backers with declining cards to process shipping payments

I want to bring this up for US backers because, with the 29th adding new rules to the tariff situation, I cannot be certain of what will happen if you fill out your survey/have the pins delivered on or before that time. I have heard of raising costs in shipments (from $80 - $200 per shipment) until March 2026, where things will simmer down. But it's honestly hard to be sure at this stage.

I hope the situation isn't as bad as I think, but I am worried for any who are yet to fill out your survey! If you've filled out your survey before this update, you shouldn't need to worry since shipments have been sent out!

And a final FINAL note, I have started preparing my campaign for next years pintopia!

Pintopia 2026 is of course not until January next year, so it's still in very early stages. I've set up the teaser page because I wanted to give everyone the chance to help make some choices on add-ons and designs for the project via polls. Please feel free to follow if you're interested!

As always, thank you all so much! I appreciate all of your kindness during my first campaign, especially earlier in the year when I lost my stepmom. It was absolutely a hard year, but I'm so happy to have had the chance to create all these little guardians for you!
