Just a little update since shipping has become...well.. complex? I'm already nearing over half of the orders sent out, and I'm on track to send all of them out by the 15th...but some things are making that a bit difficult...
EU CUSTOMS REFORM
Firstly, I have tried to get all rewards going to Europe sent out BEFORE the December 10th deadline which makes it darn near impossible to ship to any EU countries. I'm too small of a business to fund the necessary changes to keep shipping to Europe, and unfortunately for the foreseeable future, that also means that I can't open future crowdfunding campaigns to these countries. I have had wonderful Backers who have helped me from countries such as Malta, Ireland, France, Spain, and Germany, and I'm so sad about this unfortunate series of events. I'm hoping that there will be a resolution where small businesses are not put at an unfair advantage.
CANADA
I also have unfortunate news for some of the Canadian bound orders. Due to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers' Strike, the United States Postal Service is refusing as of Nov. 29th to take any packages bound for Canada until further notice. There are 12 of you left, and as soon as I can get the green light, your packages are out the door.
NEW PINTOPIA CAMPAIGN UPDATES
The Fauna Fruit Pins and Bags Pintopia Campaign is in 51 days If any of you are not familiar with Pintopia, At least 2 artists/pin designers will partner up to help promote the event. We are separate projects BUT still connected through these two pins below! As a backer, you can help us to unlock these pins. Help us to reach our goals by backing BOTH campaigns, and IF we both meet our initial goals, these cute foodie dragons will be added to your orders! Do you know anyone who loves Dragons or Food, let them know about the freebies!

I'd love to get your feedback on which pin should be unlocked first after the initial 6 pins, and the newly updated Strawberry Tiger Ita Bag have been unlocked! I'd love to make this project more interactive, so that the backers will be setting the pace for what gets unlocked next!
