Thanks to you guys I am getting back on my feet. Thank you all for showing up for me. Yall saved my life, thank you all.
I've been posting little youtube shorts when I fins a good moment to give an update on my life and what I'm tackling over there (such as the online print sale) so if yall wanna stay tuned in with my situation and the incredible impact yall's support have given us, you can watch my youtube shorts!

SO! FOR THE ENAMEL PIN UPDATE!!!
SO! thankfully everything for this kickstarter is going smoothly. About two weeks ago, I got an update from the manufacturer that the enamel pins finished production, and they are being shipped to my new residence! So they should already be about half way here! I'm sorry I didn't get an update once they were first finished, I was just in the heat of unpacking and getting our house in order, and I've only gotten to this now. Thank you all for understanding. All the pins look great, and while manufacturer photos are never the best, here are what they look like!
Also I finally put backs on my backercards to my Etsy and me and my girlfriend Bri's email list that talks about both of our future projects and sale announcments and stuff.
but yeah!!! I'm leaving for FanExpo Denver on Wednesday and I will be gone for a full 2 weeks, so not till like June 11th. They enamel pins I'm gonna guess will arrive while I'm gone, or soon after I return home! So! Shipment for these bad boys will start happening around then!
Thank you all so much!!!

Help. Guys I need serious help. 😭
Hi everyone. I know this isn’t exactly about Backerkit, but I need to do this.
I need help. Serious help.
A brief explanation is that we fell behind on rent for one month, and sank immediately, and now we are facing an eviction and need to move into a small apartment ASAP. We are fighting not to become homeless, and we need help. This is an emergency, I have run out of all of my resources. I have nowhere to turn. I’m so sorry to ask this. Thank you so much for your time. You are my last resort.
Here is a GoFundMe with a lot more information
Here is a youtube Video that I have posted, that also gives more information, and an update since the launch of the GoFundMe. If you have seen the GoFundMe already before now, for an update, skip to 9 minutes into the video.
https://youtu.be/v5V0FXQHEbk
Thank you all so much. I ask, even just $5 a person, could possibly save our lives. I admit, this is what we have been fighting, and is a big reason why I have fallen behind on the Coffee Dragon Kickstarter, and my mental health has declined so bad. This is the full, and very vulnerable, explanation of why. It has been awful, and we can’t beat this alone. And if you cannot donate, that is totally ok! So in turn, I ask that you please share the GoFundMe and or my Youtube Video around? On social medias. On servers. Forums. Tell your friends, family etc. whoever and whatever anyone feels comfortable with. It can potentially save us. Thank you!😭💙

Samples is here! Mass production has begun! Coffee Dragons available on Etsy!
SAMPLE PICS!!! We are beginning Production!!!
YAY!!! 💙 ✨Things are moving so smoothly for this campaign. The samples were just given to me literally finishing up the Kickstarter update for the super late Coffee Dragon pins! Wow what timing. It's great to have updates for both,-anyways! Here are the WIPS for the enamel pins that all came out perfectly! These are just samples so they are like sketches just to gauge colors and if there's any error in the mold, and they do not have screen printing or metal plating etc. So they aren't perfect and that is ok! Know the final product will be glossy and beautiful!
These were the bakery babies that needed a few adjustments, but luckily all the of these adjustments are super fast and quick easy fixes. They are also so minor that they don't delay anything. I adjusted what you see, and because I know that'll make them perfect, they are going to start production immediately. So once they correct it, which they said two days from now, all pins will be in production!!! YIIPPEEE!!!!
The Lemon tart technically needs a new mold which is like $40, which haha is $40 I don't have. but my manufacturer is so cool, that they are like "don't worry you literally paid for everything else, we'll start production. just pay before we ship it :)" which is like SO COOL! Guh I love them! They are so nice and so quality.
Coffee Dragon enamel pins are available on Etsy!
I know quite a few of you guys have backed my previous projects, and that includes the Coffee Dragon campaign on kickstarter. If you are a backer for that campaign, there is an update here that you can see if you missed it! 💙✨More information about it is there.
hmmm the link isn't working? so hahah here!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/spectroliteaaa/cryptic-coffee-date-dragon-enamel-pins/posts/freeform/4643681/edit
But for now! The Coffee Dragons are totally available on Etsy!!!Click here to see them! or here https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpectroliteAAA
I know a lot of you guys got coffee dragons as your add-ons, but still! thought I'd let yall know! :D

Here's some of my favorite photos I took.
That kickstarter campaign is wrapping up finally, and there's a handful of orders I can't get out yet, but I put the proper inventory aside for both finishing those orders, the inventory of coffee dragons I need for the add-ons of this campaign, and inventory for Etsy. This is all the inventory I put aside with plenty of extra each for every design.
So thank you so much guys! I'll have another update about when the Dessert Bakery dragons are done baking!!! Thank you all so much! I love you all so dearly! Thank you all so much for the support.

Pins are in production!
Hi guys! I just wanted to make a quick update, sorry it's been a month since the last update... Well! All the pins are paid for an on their way for productions! The manufacturer said it would take about 20-30 business days to make, and with shipping and weekends it's projected to get here in about two months. From there I'll update you guys once they are finished, and they have shipped, and also again when they get here.
Thank you guys for being so patient with me. I want to be professional, and I don't want to blame my mental health for everything, but things truly have been so hard. Seriously thank you so much. For those that believe in me and know you'll get your pins, and stick around? Yall mean the world. Thank you.

Surveys finally sent! Pumpkin Bread pin!
Hi guys! I firstly want to apologize, I overestimated my ability to work around the holidays and two conventions, starting Jan 1st and some personal mental health struggles, and things have been overwhelmingly difficult to do even the smallest tasks, and that is purely no one's fault other than my own. I am sorry. This last year has really done numbers on me, to the point I sought professional help and have therapy. 😅 I will work to do better in the future for this and all my projects. Thank you all for being so patient, I am sorry to leave yall in the dark long enough, it is totally unfair to you guys. I just want to take responsibility for my actions and explain why I've been behind pretty bad. I'm sorry.
SO!... SURVEYS ARE FINALLY SENT! finally.
☕So please check your emails! And or your Spam! (Sometimes they end up there) Please fill these out! :D Not sure which email it's going to? it'll be whatever email is attached to your Backerkit account, so be sure to check That email! :> 💙
☕Please don't ignore the survey! These aren't surveys that rate the Backerkit's performance etc. which seem like a waste of time, it is me asking for what pins you would like, so I need you guys to fill this out so I know your order/reward, and your shipping address, so I cannot fulfill your reward without you filling this out, so don't ignore! :D 💙
((more info below in FAQ of why))
And the Pumpkin Bread pin is there on the survey! HERE SHE IS!!!
- The Pumpkin Dragon pin is an option to pick for any reward tier, just as any of the other unlocked pins!
- The pumpkin Bread Dragon is also available as an Add-on, and you can get as many as you like, as well as any of the other unloked dragon pins! They are at the bottom of the survey, under "Campaign dessert dragons. It is like an Etsy listing you click on, and you pick which Dessert Bakery pin you like and the quantity. :)
- the Pumpkin Bread Dragon is the same size as the others, at 1.8inches, and copper plating with two butterfly clasp backings. It also has screenprinting within the bread itself. :)
And then also, The coffee Dragons will be available for add-ons too. Thank you so much!
__ ✨ Survey FAQ✨__
My card was never charged.
If your charged was never charged, it most likely errored do to insufficient funds. Be sure enough money is in your account to match the reward tier and shipping you backed for the funds to go through.
Otherwise, it might be an issue with your bank, or I'd suggest trying a new payment method.

-Be sure to check the spam box in your email if you never received your survey, it may be hidden in there.
- If you used an old email/or different email for your Backerkit started account then the email you usually use, be sure to check the email that is connected to your Backerkit account. If you haven't received your survey after looking at the two steps above, email me at [email protected] so I can either give you the survey directly, or so I can manually get your reward shipped out to you through email discussion.
Will I be able to buy these pins at a later date outside of Backerkit/Kickstarter?

YES! Once all rewards are shipped out and I have received the product, I will be selling the pins individually on my Etsy. My Etsy can be found in the link below.
https://www.etsy.com/shop/SpectroliteAAA?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
Will I be able to add extra pins to my reward?

Will I be able to add extra pins to my reward?
Yes, you can do that after filling out the pins that match your reward tier, you will be given the option to purchase additional pins in the add-ons section of your Backerkit Survey. There you can add as many extra pins
-------
Thank you guys, I'm sorry my personal issues have effected my work so bad, I will do my best to be better. I understand your guys' time is important, and I never want to make anyone feel like I took their money, because this is a crowd funding project. So thank you.
