The Last Batch Goes Out Tomorrow for the Fauna Fruits Pins! And an Unexpected Update.
Hi Everyone!
As the title says, I'll be sending out the last batch of orders. This batch includes everyone who has completed their surveys and their shipping has been collected.
Those who has not given me the info I need to mail out your orders, you have 30 Days left to make updates before I close this campaign down. It's been open almost 7 1/2 months, and I still have 7 unanswered surveys, and 4 failed charges. :(
And on to the update! I did not realize that there could be an opportunity to complete this collection, but it seems like I can add pins to my Printopia campaign that starts Sept. 9th! So after the initial goal to unlock a new Chibi Fauna Fruits Coloring book, we'll go directly into unlocking however many pins as we can get through. Click to join the launch page.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated. I'm halfway through the orders. The sticker vendor has been having some issues but assures me that they will be here next week, so fingers crossed. Most of the remaining orders contain sticker sheets, so that's slowed down some of my progress a tad, but my goal is to have everything out no later than August 15th.
The pins are here. They look so good! I'm heading out the door today for an out-of-town funeral, but I will be back by the end of next week. We are still waiting for one thing, the sticker sheets to be completed and shipped. They are in the middle of production, but the funeral came up so suddenly that it interfered with the timing. :/ I was really worried about that happening with the pins, but I'm so glad my manu helped to streamline that issue.
When I get back, I'll most likely start with the orders that do not have sticker sheets first. We are actually a bit ahead of schedule, so we're doing pretty well on timing.
The pins are finished and are going to be sent to me very soon. They're doing a quality check before officially shipping them. Here are some very grainy pics of them all except for the Jaguar pin. He had already packed him away. I asked him to put them together just so that we could see them all at once, and here we are!
Okay... so I know I said that I would put these babies to rest for a while (I was going through a lot, so I had big sad feelings going on) ...but the pins are coming out so well. T__T I may have an opportunity to do a second wave that concentrates completely on pins next year (2026)
I attached a poll to see what everyone wants to start off with first.
So should we finish them up? Maybe add a couple more? *shrugs*
We have more update shots! I love how they came out so far...I really wish we had been able to unlock more, but seeing how well they've come out, I am more inclined to maybe try again sometime next year for the rest.
And just a reminder, that we have a few days left to pledge for the Mermaids, and we'll jump into the Dragons on June 10th!
