Project Update: Surveys and Updates
Happy Monday everyone,
There is one more week left to fill out your surveys until the orders are locked. Even if you've already filled out the survey, you still have the option to make changes until next Monday. 83% of surveys have already been filled out so thank you so much! 🥰
If there are any issues please be sure to message me privately.
If you've missed the emails to complete your survey, please know you can still fill them out after Monday 16th and it will automatically get locked. When surveys are locked you cannot make further changes HOWEVER, you can always make changes to your mailing address right up to the point when I am ready to ship out packages.
Interested in which pins are the most popular?
The numbers are really close but the most picked kit is Forest! Very close behind is the Magic Forest.
As for individual mini pins, Calico is the winner (I'm really happy about this because one of my best friends loves to read and has a calico called Momo who's the cutest cat! I'm excited to give her a pin). Coming close behind is the Fox.
My plan is to get all pin files ready to go by the end of this week to begin the important phase of getting them made! I'll update you guys when I get some preview photos of the pins. 😃

Project Update: Surveys Out + Preorder Store
Hey all,
Surveys sent!
Thank you to those who filled out the ghost surveys! Everything seems to be working so all surveys have just been sent out! Have fun picking out which pins you'd like. I'm excited to see which are the most popular. If you missed out on any extra pins you wanted during the campaign, you can do so when you reach the Add-On page. And please note, that while the survey collects your address, you can change it at any point in the future until the items are almost ready to ship out. I'll send out a reminder when we get closer.
Pre-Order Shop
The Pre-Order shop is now open for those who weren't able to make a pledge during the campaign. Find it HERE (You should also be able to access it from the 'Late Pledges' button on the main campaign page but it appears to be heading to the wrong link so I'll work with BK to fix that). You can purchase items until the survey closes in 2 weeks. They will be shipped out the same time as the campaign orders during the summer.
If you already made a pledge during the campaign, please use the survey and not the pre-order shop as I don't want you getting charged double for items and shipping!

Other Updates
I've been working on files to get ready to send to my manufacturer and start the production process. Can you believe I ended up with 22 pins and 3 stickers! (⊙_⊙;) I have 16 pins finished and all 3 stickers done. I'll also show you the backing card for the kits when I have them designed.
Have a great rest of the weekend. It flew by so fast!

Project Update: Surveys are starting!
Hello everyone,
Surveys Going Out
The survey has been approved and I've just sent out a Smoke Test. This means that 5% of backers will be receiving the survey to fill out. This allows me to check if there are any issues to handle before the remaining 95% are sent out. The survey allows you to choose which pins you'd like to receive including any add-ons made during the campaign. You'll also have the option to choose more add-ons if you missed anything from before.
If you happened to receive the Survey, I ask that you please fill it out as soon as you can and let me know if you run into any problems. This ensures that I can send out all the surveys in a day or two. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
If you are experiencing a failed payment please contact your bank or credit card company to confirm that it is a legitimate charge and to try once again.
Have a great weekend!

Project Update: Thank You! We did it.
Hello everyone,
Thanks to all 185 of you for supporting my campaign! I'm really happy with how this campaign ran including the usual stress and sweat. Though this was my 4th campaign, it was the first time launching in a huge crowdfunding group so I had more to learn. I appreciate every pledge. 😊
What's next?
- You should have already received an email that your pledge was processed. Sometimes it doesn't go through for a simple issue like your bank blocking the charge for a security reason. You can fix that easily from your end. Don't worry! You still have time to solve any issues before the survey.
- You'll be receiving a survey in about 2 weeks to select which pins you'd like and any add-ons you'd like to 'add on'. The shipping and add-ons will be payed in full here as well as collecting your mailing address. There will be plenty of time to fill out the survey but I'd appreciate if they can be finished quickly. This allows me to begin the whole process of calculating how many of each design I should order and sending a deposit for my manufacturer to officially begin production.
- While working on the survey, I'll also begin getting the files ready to send to my manufacturer. I like doing this part myself to ensure I'm getting what I want but also my manufacturer is great and I've worked with them several times. They always do an amazing job and I've never had any complaints. I'm excited to see the pins as much as you!
Have a great weekend!

Project Update: 48 Hours to Go!!
Hello everyone,
We're so close to the end! Thank you to everyone who has supported me and stuck around. I'm still amazed at how well it went so I'm really happy to learn that people liked my idea of making a scene on a background by stacking mini pins on top. If you've ordered a kit, I hope I get to see some photos in the future of what scenes you've made with the mini pins and your own pins. I bet some will beautiful🥰 or utterly silly 😆
Speaking of making scenes... I got asked about showing where all the pin holes are and some examples so I'm happy to share what I liked making:
Oh and umm... some other options mixing the pins around 🤭
(Please note that actual placement of the mini pins may vary slightly as the pin needles may vary as to where they're set. I used the center of all mini pins as the base.)
If you're looking for extra mini pins, these are all the ones available to choose from the ones outside of the kit. And yes, you can individually choose them now!
And finally, after the campaign closes, you will be receiving the survey to choose your pins around 2 weeks later. The estimated date is February 28th and you will have 2 weeks to answer.
Have a great week!
