Project Update: Review & Buy Cosmic Balance Pins at Dragon Woodshop!
For those who still haven't filled out their surveys, please do this ASAP. Your deadline is May 1st to fill your survey and pay for add-ons and shipping. If your survey is not filled and your card is not charged properly by the end of May 1st, your pledge is considered a kind donation!
This is likely the last update I will make until a couple days before May 1st. Thank you once again for all the incredible support for this campaign! I can't wait to show you what's coming next, it's going to be so cute!

Project Update: IMPORTANT: Fulfillment Status
Last Saturday, I packaged up 148 orders for all those who have filled their surveys and been charged successfully for add-ons/shipping! Today, you should have received an email with tracking information. Be sure to check Spam in case it went there.
There are only 9 surveys left to fill out, let's get those done! The deadline is May 1, 2023. If you haven't filled your survey by then, you forfeit your pledge and I will consider it a kind donation to the campaign!
If you filled your survey and didn't get an email about your order shipping out, please double-check if you're one of the 2 people who still have failed card charges for your survey.

Project Update: Pin Photos + Shipping Charges
I'll be going through the pins over the weekend to separate A Grade from B Grade pins (ones with minor defects), to make sure everybody receives and A Grade pin!
Here are some photos 💜

Project Update: Orders locked! 17 surveys still needed!
The pins are already on their way and should be here by March 22nd, but that could have delays depending on the carrier. Here is a peek at the images sent by the manufacturer, and I must say these look fabulous ☀️ 🌙
Once I have received the pins and checked them over, I'll charge shipping to the cards for locked surveys and start packaging. It should be a swift process.
If you want to receive your pledge, you NEED to fill out your survey by the end of May 2023, else your pledge is forfeit and will not be refunded. Please do not wait that long! If you cannot find your survey email, check the Project FAQ for how to retrieve it.
Happy Saturday!

Project Update: Thank you: 81% of Surveys Filled!
In related news, the Cosmic Balance backing cards and shipping materials are already in hand, pins are already in production, and the wooden display are being made as they are ordered. Can't wait to show you everything!
If you haven't filled out your survey yet please do so as soon as possible. If you haven't received the email with your backer survey, please send me an email at [email protected]. There are a few missed emails that were dropped or bounced, so you'll need to let me know a different email address to send your survey link to.
I look forward to getting these all out to you!

Project Update: Slight delay in surveys
I was informed yesterday I will need to slightly delay getting surveys out to you. BackerKit is working on some improvements to the survey system, so we have ALL been asked to hold off by a week to accommodate these changes. All surveys in Pintopia are estimated to go out the week of Feb. 27, which could also mean we have uniform close dates on the survey. I'll let you know if I learn anything else!
In the meantime, I've already ordered and received the backing cards, baggies, and compostable mailers (I love these) for shipping out your orders! And I've made all the pin displays that have been pledged for, and will make more as needed based on survey responses.
Hope this update finds you well 💜

Hi! I recently had a second charge for this Backerkit go to my bank account after the initial one and I was wondering if I could get some help with it as Backerkit support didn't really help me. Thanks!
Project Update: What was your first pin?
I thought it would be fun to ask: what was the first pin you received or collected?
I have about 20 pins from my 14 years of soccer. They are all different kinds, and I guarantee you this is what lead me to becoming a pin collector. I think the oldest one I have is from 2003?
Soccer. The gateway drug of pin collecting.
Project Update: Here’s what to expect next
- Expect an email letting you know your payment has been charged by BackerKit. If there are any issues with your payment, you will be notified with next steps.
- I will need to collect some additional info such as any add ons you need (more pins or displays) and your shipping information before I send rewards. In the coming weeks, I will send you a survey to collect that information.
- Since all Pintopia projects were 100% funded, you will be getting a FREE Pintopia 2023 pin from BackerKit! AND if you backed 3+ pins you’ve earned some additional pins. Stay tuned for more information from BackerKit about how you will receive those pins.

Project Update: POLL: Which cosmic power is yours?
Personally, I am the Bendu, the one in between, the balance in all things of the Force. Oh wait... Wrong reference. I try my best to understand all sides before making decisions. I like to plan but I also like spontaneity. Sometimes my anger is very real, and other times I am quite level-headed.
So which are you: sun, moon, or balance?
Project Update: Pin Displays!
Hey all! Wow this campaign has gone so much better than I had hoped, you all are so awesome! Here's a look at the pin displays some of you will be receiving if you pledged for 2 Pins + Display. You can read more info about them in the pledge description page. One side of each display is red duro cherry and the other side is duro maple. Makes for a fun pattern 😁
