It's time for an update. I attended a BackerKit Zoom for a refresher on putting together the survey. It requires creating files for all the items so that they have SKU# and images. Please, I have to determine the weight of things and attach them to the SKU# so that when the weighted total is added up, it can process correctly. It takes time to fill in all the correct boxes and learn the trick of having the right things appear on the right survey. For example, a lot of you are returning supporters and, as such, will be getting a surprise sticker. That needs an SKU# and all the data for it added in so that it can be marked onto the invoice sheet, but it doesn't need to go onto the survey because it's a freebie for those supporters. It just takes time to plug all of that together. Then I send a request to BackerKit's staff to review it for errors. Once that is done I will be able to get the applications going.

I'm not waiting for a tally to come in from the survey before I order pins and stickers. Because I do 6-9 conventions a year (sometimes more) I know I will need extra inventory. So I've submitted my order for two of the pins. The first three pin designs are done. I also submitted my order for stickers. Some are designs that inspired the pin designs, others are brand new designs taken from the pin designs. 

The pins will take approx 18 days to produce. The stickers will probably take less time. 

I'm thinking about including the sticker pack as an add-on for the survey. Right now the sticker pack is for those who supported both me and my pin partner.

That's the update! I'm plugging away on prepping the survey. I hope to have that done before the end of the week.

Thank you for your support!
