Greetings Hoarders,

Exciting news! Your little loot boxes are getting shipped this week! My little goblins and I have been hard at work packing these boxes for you. And finally, have it all prettied up and ready to be picked up. (Once I process all the shipping stuff with Canada Post...which might take a few days with so many of you.)

Here is a little peek behind the scenes at the disaster of my living room.

There are 11 failed cards and 10 incomplete surveys. When I process the Canada Post orders, I will attempt to charge these cards one more time. So if you want your pretties before Christmas, please update your card. I will attempt one more time in the new year as well before closing the campaign.

I am part of the BackerKit holiday market for my Festive Derpies campaign! And would love to invite you to two weeks of Yule shenanigans and tinsel wrapped derpies!

There is a "create-your-own" tier where you can order any existing pins in add-ons. But we will also unlock brand new holiday and festive themed derpies! With 5 brand new designs, and more backer inspired designs we will unlock through polls!

Since Canada Post is on strike, I can't guarantee Chrismas deliveries for physical pledges, however, I have plenty of digital loot planned for backers which you can enjoy during the festive season!

Like this Holiday Derpy Dragon printable card and postcard and many colouring pages to unlock as stretch goals:

So join the fun, even just to hang out in the polls and comments! I love seeing you there! Also, only 2 days left to claim your exclusive mini Festive Derpy pin!

Greetings Hoarders,

Lots of important news today.

I have finally figured out how to set up tariffs, and how much it will cost. I have UNLOCKED all USA orders for ONE WEEK (until Friday / Halloween). You can now go in and see how much tariffs will be for your pledges. 

I have tried to absorb what I could. ($2 + 10%) of each pledge. So, hopefully, it is not too much for you. 

Unfortunately, pins were hit with 35% tariffs 😭😭😭And there is nothing I can do but pay it or not be able to ship to you. 

For this reason, I unlocked the surveys so you can adjust your pledges if needed. I can't cancel pledges as those funds were all used to pay for pins. If for some reason you cannot afford the tariffs and need me to hold your order, please email me at [email protected]

If you want to help cover the extra fees yourself, you can add the Dumpster Fire Derpy Sticker to your order now! (Under Sticker section)

But just because the world is on fire, doesn't mean I will stop making Derpies. (Because they still make me smile and I think the world needs some more reasons to smile). Last year backers requested Holiday themed Derpies.

You can still reserve your EXCLUSIVE mini pin before the campaign launches here:

Featuring ALL my past campaigns, with special discounted tiers for bundles! Or a create-your-own tier if you just want to stuff your stockings with one or two pins from any of the sets!

I don't know whether there will be new designs for this one. This campaign is more if you were hoping to stuff your stockings with Derpies!

Designs will be revealed on my Partreon, but the theme will be Greek Zodiac. (Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn, etc) You can claim your EXCLUSIVE MINI pin when you reserve your pledge here:

I know the world is tough out there, but hopefully these Derpies make it just a little bit better, even if you just join us in the polls for the conversations!

You can always join my Weirdling tribe on my Patreon. Patrons get to see not only exclusive art/content, but vote on designs before they are presented to campaigns!

Yours in art,

Therena

PS: As a thank you for being a backer, I have a special surprise I will add to everyone's carts in the near future! 

Greetings Hoarders,

Exciting news! The Derpies have officially arrived! Check it out! Please ignore the highly professional photos. I was too (lazy to get off my butt and use my DSLR) excited to share them so I just used my phone. 

They look amazing in person! It will take me a couple of weeks to organize and sort, but I will probably charge cards soonish.
 

While you wait, go check out my "D" is for Derpy Dragons campaign! 

We funded in 31 minutes! And already unlocked 7/10 pin designs in the first 24 hours! And the polls and discussions are filled with fun and memes.

Whether you back or just want to come hang out in the comments and polls, I look forward to seeing you there!

PS: we are really close to unlocking the returning backer mini pin!

And there's still 24 hours left to claim your free early bird sticker!

Until next time,
Yours in art,

Greetings Hoarders,

Just a quick update with both exciting and important news. I'll start with the latter.
 

I noticed I made a mistake how I added the early bird and returning backer rewards to your carts.

You will notice it twice in your carts. But you will only receive one of each. I'm not exactly sure where I messed this up (I have a suspicion) but I can't fix it. So I just wanted to make you aware that you will only get one of each, not two. 

74% of surveys have been completed, thank you! But I need to have at least 85% done to get more accurate numbers for my order, so if you haven't completed the survey yet, please do so ASAP. You can find it here if you lost it.

Both the stretch goal designs are officially unlocked!

This makes me so happy as I love them both 😍🥰.
We also had another design join the hoard as part of the custom pledge. The "Jack of all Classes" derpy.

This brings the campaign to 16 new pins! (18 if you count the exclusive mini books) It's not too late to pledge! The pre-order store is open for anyone who missed the campaign.

Speaking of exclusive mini books, Backerkit just launched a brand new early bird reservation "pledge" for upcoming campaigns. Naturally I wanted to try it out, and since I'm already doing these exclusive little colourways for the mini bookish derpy, I thought I would create one for anyone who reserves their spot for $5 on my "D is for Derpies" campaign before it launches in September!

If you already followed the campaign before I set this up, you can still access it through the launch page here.

Here's a sneak peek at one of the new derpies joining us in September!

You can also get a sneak peek at the book here. Plus I am revealing new derpies weekly on my patreon!

I think that's all for today's update. Remember to do those surveys! And check out "D is for Derpies" 🥰. There's so many amazing derpies coming your way!

Therena
