Just a little tiny update cause I realized I never got photos the first round of pins that were lost at sea, but here is the ones currently in production! I am really happy with how they turned out, and I am hoping all this ridiculous tariff nonsense calms down enough for me to get these to you guys as soon as possible. Not so much of an update, but more of a look at the pretty colors haha
Just a quick update for you guys of behind the scenes; first shipment of all of the pins were quite literally lost at sea last month. I can't make this up lmao. They got bermuda triangled apparently. They are getting remade, but now we are kind of at a stand still with the extreme tariffs that are being put into place. I was advised by my manufacturer to hold off on having it sent to the USA until there is a more solid foundation of what is happening with the tariffs as they have been changing literally every week. As I write this, the supposed tariffs from China are close to 80% in total.
I hope that you guys understand that I did not want these pins to take this long, and now it will be even longer while we wait to see what is happening with the economy. I appreciate your patience, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to let me know!
Heya everyone, just wanted to pop in and say that there hasn't really been any updates on the pins in this moment in time; I have been going back and forth with my manufacturer with color correction and she is slow to respond at times unless I poke her. But they are (very slowly) being completed. I apologize for the delay! Below is an example of what has been happening behind the scenes:
For example: neither of these are what the pin should look like, it should look like:
THIS is what it should look like!
So sorry, someone informed me that the Queer option for both enamel pin and sticker was missing, and it sure was! I went ahead and fixed that mistake and added it in for both items. Please let me know if you have any questions!
I will be charging cards for the shipping and any extra add-ons next Monday on December 23rd. Please make sure you have filled out the survey by then, or else you risk what you want not being available later on!
Hello! All surveys are sent and should be available either via the email that Backerkit sent or through the campaign pledge on your Backerkit profile. Please fill out the survey sooner rather than later so that I can have an accurate count of what pins are pledged for. The proof has already been sent to my manufacturer, and I confirmed that they still have the mold for the design (even though its been 3 years!).
Thank you so much for your patience as I dealt with irl stuff, and your continued support! If you have any questions about the survey please send me an email!
Hello everyone, I know that it has been a while since I last updated about surveys going out. I just wanted to get on here and apologize for the length of time that it has taken me to finalize the surveys and get Backerkit's approval to send out a smoke test.
Those of you who have seen my social media pages might know that this past month, one of our furbabies Baymax had to be put down due to his Nasal Carcinoma getting too aggressive. When his cancer started progressing faster and faster these last few months, I will admit that I dropped everything to spend as much time with him as possible. This came in the form of not completing the surveys, not posting on social media, and not going to markets/conventions that I had gotten into. On top of that, we had a pipe back up in our house and it flooded/destroyed our bathroom and part of the kitchen, and we've been fighting the insurance over that for a while. As they say, if it's one thing its a lot of things at once.
While I am still grieving, I am trying to make a conscience effort to get back into the swing of things with my business and this campaign. I know that I cannot make up for lost time, but I hope that you all come to understand the reason behind my silence.
I sent over the campaign surveys to be approved by Backerkit so that I can send out a smoke test hopefully this week, so we can get the ball rolling on that. In the meantime, my manufacturer is verifying that they still have my mold for the boba design, and if not, will make a new one. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on here or message me via any social media platform. I appreciate your patience and understanding while I have been silent online.
