Approximately 70% Done!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to check in and let everyone still waiting know that I'm working through the last of the ones that still need to be fulfilled. I was making really great progress and then I started burning out and ended up sick last week, so it was a super small batch that went out. These pin campaigns although fun to design for, do not pay my bills, so it's been a precarious game of "is tonight a packing and shipping night, or am I doing more overtime because we're in a busy period at work sort of night?" 😓 I'm usually averaging about 50-80 shipments per week, but last week I could only get 25 out. I apologize that this is taking so long, and honestly this has been a pretty overwhelming amount of orders lol, but the good news is that there are only 172 orders left.
If anyone has been keeping up with my social media, you'll notice that I've almost if not completely stopped posting. And I was going to participate in Pintober which is in full swing right now, but I don't feel like I can launch anything new until the Rude Moods shipments that are ready to be shipped, are out. Usually I can multitask...but I'm not comfortable with this many orders not already wrapped up.
I don't even have motivation to work on anything for the next Pintopia happening next year... and IF I participate, it'll be probably the smallest collection I've ever launched... because... I'm a bit tapped out at this point and only have enough energy for what I have to do. 😅
Just a note that if your address has still not been locked, which would be 9 of you, just know that you're being counted as well, so don't worry. The reason your address has not been locked is because you missed the due date for surveys to be completed for the order. (I had sent out reminders prior to locking orders) Since I didn't know what you wanted at the time that the order was made, I had to try and guestimate how many of the pins we would actually need. I want to make sure that all orders submitted on time are getting what they want first because I could not have made these orders without the majority of you answering. I don't have the capacity to order a lot of extras of each pin because they're so expensive to make. It is extremely important to have the totals on hand when ordering and this is how I show my appreciation for relieving some of my anxiety when tallying what we'll need.
Again I can't thank everyone enough for your patience. It's rare for me to have this many backers for a project, and it's been a perfect storm of interruptions and exhaustion. Most of you who have been supporting my pins for years, know that I love getting things out early rather than just on time...so this is not a normal for me and I'm personally irritated that I haven't been able to keep that track record with you this time around.
Thanks

Shipping Progress
Hi hi!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we're making progress!
Fun fact! Did you know that if you have to buy a new Dymo Label maker in the middle of fulfillment, that the new one is programmed to literally not work with any paper other than their Dymo licensed label paper? 🤔 You didn't? Neither did I lol! So here's your friendly warning... the technology is getting really full of itself and bougie. 😅
Thank you for your patience as I push through them. We're about 1/5 done with shipping, and it'll pick up now that I have the Summer Market campaign shipped out, and the new label maker finally paying for its existence.

Pins are Here!
Hi hi!
Just letting everyone know that the pins and stickers have arrived! I'm going to go ahead and lock the orders ready to go, but you still have 48hrs to double check your addresses.
There are 2 stickers, I'm not happy with, the Fairy and Black Werewolves came out way too dark, so I am reordering them with another vendor. Those should hopefully be in in the next 2 weeks or less, but there will be plenty to mail out in the meantime.
Thank you for your patience as I get these out in batches. There are currently 534 orders that will be locked and ready to be fulfilled in the next month...and a few stragglers who I hope will remember to update their information. 😅
Thanks

Almost Done!!
Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that the manu is almost done with pin production. He's working on our "But Did You Die" banner which had the most orders out of all the pins. All the other pins are DONE and ready to be shipped to me.
Not much else to update, other than he's also completed our stickers, the card backings, and the 3 Campaign Backing- sea horse sticker has been ordered and is currently in production as well. Since it's a specialty sticker with shiny bits, I ordered it separately.

We Have Lots of New Pin Pics!! And Launching a Pop-Up Shop in 20 Days!
Hi Everyone! I'm soooo excited to share how things are going. We have most of the completed looks. We're waiting for the "But Did you Die" Banner pin.
And here are the werewolf's and their glows!! I'm especially excited for the purple and red since this is my first time seeing these glow colors in person!!
ALSO... If anyone is interested in previous pin collections, I'll be adding any extras that are still in stock to a short Summer Pop-UP Shop Event launching on July 14th! I'm treating this as like a halfway through the year, spring cleaning event! ONLY items I have in hand.
I need to make room soon because I'll be expecting a few little visitors in a few months! Has anyone had any adventures in Pet Fostering? I'm a little nervous...but honestly more excited to have movement in the apartment again. I'm kinda tired of thinking I'm seeing my dog or cat coming towards me in the corner of my eye, just to end up realizing it's just the fan, or a piece of clothing. I've thrown myself into my work to the point that I stayed up til 5am last night... just to go back to work at 8:30am... so yeah... I think I need to feel needed by something that isn't work related even if I love what I do 😅 because it's gotten a bit unhealthy. (clarity only came after I started hearing birds that were just waking up outside to start their day lol!!)
Sign up early so that you don't forget! Because that's totally something I would do lately 😣Ya girl, is TIRED. lol.

I received my kit. And collected it from a family member. I barely took them out the plastic today, and only opened one but the back is pinkish with black streak. I do t know if it was colored silver but it came black and a pinkish orange. The fronts fine just wanted to if it’s fine, or if it was painted or somehow got oxidized or something through that time?
