The stickers arrived last week and they are oh SO cute, I think y'all will love them.

A small delay upon realizing the insert cards were not going to fit inside the bubble mailers, so  I* needed to tweak the design a little and swap my packaging.

 *Shout out to my amazing wife who actually did most of the design work 😂

The cards are arriving today, I tested my new thermal printer for the shipping labels (what a breeze), and I will begin stuffing packages this weekend!  

I plan to ship these packages out in the next few days - stay tuned and thanks for your patience :)

Even though I decided not to participate this round, you should absolutely check it out. There are kid's books, comic books, fantasy, all kinds. 

One project in particular I want to shout out is Finish Your Cosplay! - inspirational and educational self-help for makers. If you take on any type of creative DIY projects this book was made for you. I don't make costumes, but I already backed it because I know it will be full of great tips I can apply to my own creative works! 

As a first time creator- both in digital art and enamel pins- seeing my own digital images come to life in physical form has been super cool. So thanks again for supporting me in this campaign!

I am waiting on stickers right now and expect to ship out packages by the end of the month. Till then, here's a sneak peek for each of them:

I hope you are excited to have these in your hands soon and love them as much as I do! 

So no stress if you've moved, just hang tight. 

Any questions, let me know!

p.s. Last update I announced that I was participating in the upcoming Booktopia. But sometimes our "do the damn thing" is really "bit off more than we could chew" and I decided to pause that plan. I am still planning to write my book this year, but giving myself a lot more spaciousness to do it. So stay tuned for that a bit later on down the road. :) 

We've reached the next stage my friends: production is complete and the pins are currently flying through the sky on their way to me.

I can't wait to see the final result in person but here's a sneak peek from the process as the molds were starting to be filled:

I anticipate receiving the pins in the next week or so, and the stickers soon after that as well. I will then work to begin fulfillment after that, still on track to have your rewards to you by the end of August. 
 
I so appreciate all of the support on my first crowdfunding project and hope you are excited to have these in your hands soon. 

In total 'what surprise project will Courtney do next' fashion, I decided to take the theme of my pins to the next level... and write a book!

When I heard BackerKit was launching "Booktopia", I knew it was the kick in the butt to finally organize my years of writing and content creation into something more long-lasting, value-filled, and fun.

[If you're new to my world, I've been a Make Shit Happen coach for 8 years! You can see more about me on my website here.]
 
Think hilarious storytelling, life lessons, tips & tricks for overcoming fear and overwhelm, actionable steps for achieving goals, and more. Probably a few favorite memes sprinkled in too. Whatever will help you stop talking about it and instead go Do the Damn Thing. 🔥

Booktopia (including this project) launches on Sept. 5th, and it's coming up FAST. 

I will be updating that teaser page with more info soon, and I can't wait to share more about what will be included as I prep for the launch. 

Thanks in advance for all the support!!

p.s. I haven't settled on the book name just yet but it's a good placeholder for now :) Let me know what you think in the Poll!
