Project Update: Surveys Starting :)
Hello again! Hope you are all doing well and enjoying the summer :) I wanted to share a quick progress update and let you know that I will be starting to send out surveys!
Progress Report -- We're still a ways off from the pins being finished - the vectors are still being finalized and we still need a round of samples before going ahead with the full order - but everything is still steadily moving forward even if it might be another couple of months till they are finished with production on such a large order.
In the meantime, while I was waiting for the vectors, I got the Backerkit survey page built -- no easy feat lol 😅 since I made so many different options and bonuses (seriously - how did I end with hundreds of SKU's???💀). But with a bit of help from Backerkit the last few weeks, we got everything set up and hopefully it is all setup perfectly *fingers crossed*
Since the survey page is ready to go, I'm going to start sending out the surveys! I figure it will help it go smoother and quicker if I have the surveys all finished when the pins and bookcharms arrive - so I can send them out right away.
Smoke Test -- Backerkit has us start by sending out a small amount of surveys first to a random set of backers just to make sure everything is working properly (easier to fix a handful of mistakes rather than hundreds lol) before it sends out the whole lot of them. But if everything goes smoothly, everyone should have a survey in the next week or so.
New "Complete Set" Tiers - I also had a few people asking about being able to switch to tier for all the designs since we unlocked so many new ones in the last day or two - and I did add three new tiers to help with that :) I made a tier for all 24 pins, a tier for all 24 bookcharms, and a tier for all 48 pins & bookcharms. Anyone can switch to those tiers if they'd like to get the complete set - hopefully this helps!
Add-ons -- And of course, you can add-on any of the new designs to your pledge in the add-on section if you would like to just pick your favorites :) Everything from the campaign is eligible as an add-on (except of course the unicorn bonus for those who backed Kaitlund's campaign as well). Not only are all 24 pin and bookcharms designs available, but also the gold foil stickers, the bookmarks, the journals, the gold foil prints - plus all of the Egyptian Mythology series as well, including brand new black and gold foil Egyptian journals that arrived just this week from the printer ✨ there are so many goodies to choose from!
Pre-Order Store - Also, I opened the pre-order store as well, for anyone who missed the campaign and would still like to get some shiny Flora & Feather treasures! https://florafeather---pins-bookcharms.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders (link to pre-order store)
Since I decided to go ahead and complete the series, even though we were shy of the last 1 1/2 designs, I am going a bit over the budget of the campaign to get these all made - and so any extra add-ons or late pledges will help keep me from going too far in the red on this project. I just couldn't imagine being so close to the complete set and not making the last few pieces - so I decided to just trust that it was worth the extra investment for now *fingers crossed* lol but every bit will help 💞
***
TLDR: Everything still going smoothly - waiting on vectors and samples. Surveys going out this week starting with a small amount of samples and then followed by all the rest. I added 'complete set tiers' for those who would like to up their pledge to get a complete set - or you can add a few of your favorites from the new designs as add-ons if you like.

Thanks again everyone 💖 this project has meant so much to me to see it come to life and it is thanks to all of you that I could bring it to life. I'm excited to be moving to the next step in getting these shinnies in your hands!! ✨
