I come bearing happy news, and some super important news.
First, the happy news, today the first 100 packages of pins will ship out to backers 🥰. And a few of you have already received your pins!
Yesterday was a productive day. My kids all helped sort, add stickers, and label the packages. (Though my son didn't want to be in a picture 😅)
Weighing each package
Sorting by weight
This was my desk after filling in addresses to Canada post...106 down, 138 to go...
So many labels...
100 packages 😱
Tomorrow I tackle the next 100... Wish me luck 😅.
The important news
Failed cards - there's about 30 of you with failed cards. Please double check if you need to update or change your card. I won't ship your order until the shipping has gone through. Also, if you are in Europe (Italy specifically) there seems to be authentication issues with cards. Please see if yours is affected.
TIME SENSITIVE
✨Duplicate celestial pins - there were 34 of you with duplicate celestial pins (celestial + collab pin are the same.) I have emailed those I caught, but only received updated pins from 7 of you. I will only delay sending these until I finish the next batch of packages tomorrow. So please let me know if you need a different design or are happy with duplicates! Check your email/junk folder if you added the celestial pin as your pledge as well as qualified for the pintopia collab pin. This will be my last update regarding this. After Thursday, I'll assume you wanted to order 2 copies of the same pin.
Wall art orders - wall art has been ordered, but won't arrive until the first week of July. So I'll ship those orders then.
Art books - I was able to get my files from my one drive, I still want to illustrate one or two more dragons for the book. If all goes to plan I hope to do it next week. And format the book in the first week of July. I'll order the proof (a 3-4 week process) and once I am certain everything looks awesome, I'll order the art books. (This means I won't be able to ship them until September at the earliest. It's only 1 month behind my original plan, but still, I apologize for the possible delay.
Other than shipping and waiting, things are going well. And we are 2 months ahead of schedule. Most packages should arrive in the next 1-3 weeks 🥰.
It's less than 2 weeks before Derpy Dragons launch on Backerkit! If you haven't yet, follow the campaign to get notified when it goes live. I'll have early bird derpy dragon stickers and exclusive returning backer postcards! I'll also have super secret returning backer tiers! So keep your eyes open for that link next week!
Well that's all the news for now. 🥰 Have a wonderful Wednesday!
