You all have blown me away.

I honestly didn't expect to be at 87% complete one week after opening surveys, but you all are amazing. There's only 8 folks who haven't done theirs yet. There is only one week left until the surveys close.

On March 16th (in the morning when I get up) I'll be charging cards for the amount raised in Pledge Manager. Please keep an eye on your email in case any errors pop up. I want you to get your pins!

Given the additional funds that have come in overall on Pledge Manager, I've been able to lower the goal for the Crown and Chalice pins to only 10 orders. That means we've unlocked the crown and need only 5 more orders to unlock the Chalice. Again, we only have one more week to achieve this.

If we don't hit 5 more orders on the Chalice, BackerKit will remove those items from your carts before I process charges and you won't be charged for them.

I'm super excited to be able to order all of these designs and get them into your waiting hands! Also, can I just say that I get to ship to some brand new-to-me countries and that just makes me so happy.

Just a quick note to let everyone know that surveys are now live! Please make sure you do them as soon as possible so we can get these beauties ordered and on their way to you!

As a reminder, there's still a chance to unlock our final 3 designs through the survey add-on process!

I hope you're all having a lovely end to your February. I wanted to let you know that the pledge manager is all set up and I'll be initiating the Smoke Test in the next 24 hours. If you're unfamiliar with that, it is BackerKit's way of making sure the surveys don't have any issues so it sends out a survey to a small percentage from each tier. Once that's been done, I'll send out all surveys.

In order to get the final numbers on pins and to place the order with the manufacturer, surveys will close on March 15, 2025. I'll post another update when all surveys have been sent but please make sure you complete yours so that I can get an accurate count and get these beauties into your waiting hands as soon as possible.

There are 10 of you whose pledges weren't able to be collected following the campaign. Fear, not because you have another chance to make those payments through the survey itself. I encourage you to check your account to see if this applies to you so that you're prepared when I charge cards for any add-ons and pending peldges in mid-March.

The cool thing about BackerKit is that you can set stretch goals for the survey process, just like during the campaign. I've adjusted things a bit but we still have a chance to unlock our final 3 designs! Here's how we do it.

Looking forward to taking the next steps with everyone and getting this glorious designs into production!

Fellow questers, the time is drawing near.

We are in the final hours of the Pintopia extravaganza and we are so close to unlocking the "Quest Seeker" pin design!

It would be poetic to end ou that beautiful design. Because we are all seeking things in our own lives. Whether it's connection to people we've just met, finding common ground, or discovering thta next favorite book.

We are a community of seekers.

With the short time we have left, let's expand our community as much as we can. Share the campaign, take a look through the add-ons to see if there is something catches your eye or even add on more pins if that calls to you!

See you all on the other side!

Happy Friday quest seekers!

Well, we did it. Pintopia has come to a close and we managed to unlock three of our beautiful designs.

BackerKit should be processing your payments now. Do keep an eye on your email, in the event they run into an issue. You've got some time to fix any errors.

While BackerKit is gathering funds, I'll be getting the surveys in order on the backend. You'll be able to pick the designs you want during the survey and because there are some of you who got six pins, but we only unlocked three designs, you'll get to pick multiples of your favorites!

It is very important you get your surveys in by the deadline so that I know how mny pins to order. Plus...

I looked things over and when I set up the surveys and add-ons, we're going to have another crack at unlocking our three remaining pins.

Here's how it works, each pin will need to have 20 orders in order to cover the production cost and unlock the design. If we hit that number by the time surveys close, Ill be able to order the additional designs. If we don't get there, you won't be charged for those add-ons and they'll be removed from your cart.

Thank you again for coming on this journey with me. I'll be back soon with more updates!
