Thank you so much for your support and your patience. I want to sincerely apologize for the lack of updates, especially after I had promised to stay in touch. I understand that the silence may have caused confusion or anxiety, and I truly regret that.

The delay was due to a serious medical emergency that required time to recover. It was a near-death experience, and during this time I have been slowly regaining strength. I am incredibly grateful to be back and able to complete this project.

That said, the pins are ready! Once you complete your BackerKit survey, I will begin shipping your rewards. I will first send the smoke test surveys (some surveys as a test run) later this day and if it is successful I will send all of the surveys this week or the following week!

Please note that shipping wasn’t included in the original pledge and will be added after the survey process to estimate shipping.

As a thank you (and a heartfelt apology), I have included an additional few surprise freebies with your order. It is a small way of showing my appreciation for your patience and continued support.

A quick reminder: to receive the free Lotus froggy pin, your pledge must include at least two pins and have already pledged Lofipin's campaign as well.

The BackerKit survey will arrive via email just click the link and submit your info. If you need to update your survey or shipping details later, you’ll be able to use the same link or retrieve it via “Lost your survey?” on our BackerKit project page (once surveys go live).

Thank you again for sticking with me through this. I’m excited to get these pins into your hands, along with a little extra surprise.

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to share a quick update; the pins are already made and turned out great! I’ve been a bit unwell recently and had to go to the hospital, which slowed things down a bit. I’m currently waiting for a response from BackerKit before I can send out the surveys.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for supporting Secret Adventure of Pets! I truly appreciate your patience and kindness during this time.

These past few months have been a little overwhelming, as I’ve been working in healthcare while also updating pin designs and coordinating with the manufacturer.  I’ve been working hard behind the scenes, and I’m excited to share that the survey will be sent out soon!

Thank you again for your support and understanding, it means the world to me!

Warmly,

Emily
