Creatures of the Night Enamel Pin Collection

Hey, everyone!

I've gotten most surveys back! It's been really cool to see the creatures and add-ons you're all selecting. I want to say THANK YOU again for all the support!! <3

There are just 10 of you left that need to complete your surveys! If that's you, please finish your survey by 6/14! I will begin locking your orders on this date so I can get an accurate count of the items you're all pledging for.

If you're having trouble finding your survey, let me know! I can resend it to you if needed. You can also update your surveys up until the due date.

Behind the scenes:
I ordered the bumper stickers and buttons this weekend! It feels good to be putting things in motion.

That's it for now. I just wanted to send out a quick update and reminder to finish your surveys. Thanks everyone!!

Hey spooky cuties!!

ALL surveys have been sent out, so check your emails! Please fill these out as soon as possible. Responses will be locked Fri, 6/14.

Your cards will be charged for shipping and any extra add-ons 1-2 weeks after the lock date. This is just so you'll be charged closer to the shipping date.

I'm waiting for more of your survey responses so I can make a better estimate of the number of each design that I need to order. I'm expecting production to take about a month. Once they arrive, it will take me about a week to grade (quality check) all the pins. Then I can start putting them on their backing cards and putting together your orders!

Behind the scenes:
I already ordered and received more backing cards. It's important to me that I am environmentally conscious with my packaging materials. My backing cards also double as my business card so I don't need extra cards, and they are made with paper sourced from sustainable forests. I also ship most orders out of 100% recycled and recyclable paper mailers. For larger orders, I either reuse boxes I already have or source boxes that are made from recycled materials.

I know backing cards and shipping materials aren't the most interesting part of the project, but they deserve their moment in the spotlight while we wait for everything else.

Take care + I'll check in soon with more updates!

Hey, everyone!

I apologize for the delay on the surveys. I had some unexpected personal things come up which led to that delay. I just sent out the first round of surveys for the "smoke test." This allows me to fix any issues that may come up before I send surveys out to everyone.

If YOU are a lucky smoke test person, please let me know if you run into any problems while filling out your surveys! Feel free to send your questions my way at: [email protected]

Just a reminder, you were not charged for shipping during the campaign. The survey is where you will get to finalize your items, add-ons, and pay for shipping. This just allows for you to be charged the most accurate shipping rate.

If you haven't gotten the survey yet, don't worry! I plan on sending out the rest of the surveys after the weekend just to clean up any issues (if there are any).

The goal is to get all the survey results in the next 2 weeks so I can officially give my manufacturer the okay to start production. I want to make sure I have enough of all your favorite pins. <3

I'll be sure to send out another update soon to give you updates on the survey and anything else that might be moving along with the project!

Thanks everyone,
Traci :)

Hey everyone!

I've been working on the survey, and expect to have it out sometime in the next week or so. The survey is where you'll pick your rewards, select any additional add-ons, and pay the shipping fees. I can't wait to see what you all pick!

A few of you will be sent the, "smoke test," before the rest of the backers. This is so I can fix any issues that you may find in the survey.

Failed pledges:
Please update your payment method if your pledge failed! There are still a handful of pledges that haven't been processed. I won't be able to ship your rewards if your payment isn't collected.

Other than that, I've already ordered more backing cards for the pins. I need to finalize my order with my manufacturer so we can start production. So far, we're exactly where we should be with this process!

Stay tuned for more updates.

Best,
Traci

Hey, everyone!

Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to give you all an update. We ended the project with $1,902 in funding! All of the designs were unlocked. Thank you all so much for your pledges, sharing the project with friends, and support! I appreciate you all so much. <3



Right now, I'm waiting for all the payments to clear. There are still a few payments that failed. If that's you, update your payment method as soon as possible!

I'm building the survey which will be sent out after all the initial payments have been processed. This survey is where you will select your rewards, add-ons, and pay for shipping. Shipping was not charged during the campaign so we could keep reward and shipping funds separate, and so it will be more accurate with any add-ons you select. It's essential you complete your surveys in order for you to get your rewards.

Once I receive all the funds, I will submit the pin order and production will begin!

That's the long story short! Thanks again for your support. <3 Stay tuned for more updates. Have a great weekend!
