Good morning!

Yesterday surveys went out to all backers! Thank you all so much for being so prompt, too - we're at 66% completion already. Surveys will close down in 2 weeks so I can get all the final counts to order the designs.

Reminder about all free items in any pledge from throughout this project: You must successfully fill out your survey and pay for the final shipping costs by December 31, 2025 to receive your pledge and any free rewards! If you fail to pay for your final shipping costs before then, you will not receive your rewards.

Our Pre-Order store is open as well if you missed out on the campaign and want to pick up some of the designs!

I'm also thrilled to announce I'll be partnering up again with my fellow Pin Kids Collective shops for a campaign this summer, plus two more additional shops. Get ready to celebrate the holidays with Candy Cane Lane!

Thank you again for the love and support!

Our survey is in review by the BackerKit team currently and will hopefully have approval today or tomorrow. Then I will send out a smoke test to 5% of the backers, see how that goes, then the rest of the surveys will follow post-approval! I have surveys set to close on May 18th if everything goes well, so that's still plenty of time to get the survey completed. If I run into any issues I can extend that date as well.

There are still some outstanding failed payments, so if that's you, check your card! I don't want you to miss out on the campaign rewards!

Thank you everyone - hope you have a fantastic week and I can't wait to get these surveys to you and these designs made!

Thank you all so much for your support on The Haunted Library! I cannot wait to bring these designs to life.

I'm currently creating the survey, and should have it out to you in about a week and a half. In the survey you'll be able to pick which designs you'd like for your pledge levels, and you'll have the opportunity to also add more add-ons if you wish to. You have 2 weeks to respond to the survey so please make sure you do so I know which designs you'd like!

After the survey completion, I'll gather the numbers for each design and get the artwork finalized with my pin manufacturer and get the designs ordered. I have used the same manufacturer for over 6 years, so these designs are in good hands.

Again, I cannot thank you enough for your support and trust in my first crowdfunding campaign. Make sure to follow me on social channels @sunsetroadco where you can see my other designs, updates, and more. I post a lot of pictures of my cats in Instagram stories.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hello friends! I can't believe we are in the home stretch of our first campaign. This community here on BackerKit is incredible.

With less than 24 hours to go, make sure you pledge and add-on for what you'd like! There will be opportunity to add once the surveys go out within the next 2 weeks as well. As a reminder, I am ordering very few extras of the designs once surveys are completed, and the pins will be a little more expensive in-hand due to the uncertainty with tariffs and increased manufacturing costs. So now is the time to add anything you'd like!

Remember to add-on your blind bag pins! There are the 6 designs pictured here along with a 7th limited mystery chaser cat.

We also have some fantastic mini pins available! Perfect for board fillers or if you like wearing or displayed pins on the smaller size.

Once again, I cannot thank you all enough for putting your trust in me for this campaign. I've been making pins and running this small business for over 8 years, and every day I feel very lucky to be able to make art. I will continue to update here and on my social media (@sunsetroadco) with the progress of the designs once payment and surveys are done. I can't wait to get these babies into your hands!

Stay spooky,
Nikki

Hello friends! I can't believe we are reaching the end of the campaign. There's still some time to pledge before it concludes: make sure you grab anything you were looking for before 4/15!

I'm sure if you've followed other pin makers you'll see that many are concerned about the announced tariffs. 95% of enamel pins are made and produced in China, and there are no factories in the United States that produce enamel pins. It's a scary time for everyone here in the US and for small businesses like myself who get the majority of their items made in a foreign country.

Nothing changes for our backers! We will not be passing on the increased tariff costs to you. Once the campaign ends this Tuesday, we will get surveys out to you within 2 weeks so you can choose which designs you'd like, and we'll get those collected and the pins will be put into production. Your cost to pledge will not change.

With that said, the designs in this campaign will increase in cost once we ship out to all backers in the summer. So, if you were looking to add-on a design from the campaign, now would be the time do it, as this is the most affordable the designs will be.

I cannot thank you all enough for all of the support you have shown my shop during my first crowdfunding campaign. The community here on BackerKit have been SO welcoming and I'm already brainstorming my next campaign on this platform. I can't wait to get these designs made for you all and get them into your hands this year!

Stay spooky,
Nikki
