Tokii and I are eager to introduce you to our newest upcoming project the Limbo of Dreams, due to launch with the rest of the wonderful projects featured in the Pintopia 2027 event on October 15th!
For this project we're focused on sleep disorders; learning about them, sharing what we learn, making pin designs of symptoms and conditions, and raising awareness for the world of sleep disorders that is both vaguely familiar yet primarily unknown to many. As a way to increase our impact together in this field, a portion of this campaigns' proceeds will be donated to charity, the Narcolepsy Network to be specific. The Narcolepsy Network is a patient support program and their mission is to;
Educate and inform individuals with narcolepsy about this life-long neurological sleep disorder, available treatments, and symptom management so they may be empowered to achieve the highest quality of life possible;
Provide emotional support and resources to patients, family members, and friends;
Encourage and assist in the formation of local support groups and other support systems;
Serve as a resource center for patients, medical providers, educators, employers, and members of the public;
Advocate for the interests of all persons with narcolepsy;
Promote early diagnosis, optimal treatment, and scientific research;
Increase public awareness of narcolepsy
This project is one that is very close to the heart because, as some of you may know, Tokii is narcoleptic. Medicines for people with narcolepsy, very often needed for them to function at all in their day to day lives, are ridiculously expensive. Something that we know about personally, and it's because of charities like the Narcolepsy Network that people like Tokii are able to obtain that medication. For Tokii, her narcolepsy medication would cost us a five-figure expense each month - something that we cannot even begin to afford. However, with the help of these charities that price has been lowered from $XX,XXX to a sum total of $0.00. Our business and our lives are only allowed to thrive because we were able to get the support we need. Now it's time for us to give back what we can with this campaign.
Revealing the Pins
Without further ado we'd like to introduce you to eight pins we've made for this campaign, each one of them inspired by sleep disorders;
Other Announcements
We hope that those pins have drawn your interest, but there's still more to talk about!
Firstly, a poll has been included at the bottom of this announcement, it is to decide the order in which the pins above will be unlocked starting with the highest voted to the lowest, so be sure to vote for your favorite! :3
Secondly, we plan to feature a few other things in this campaign... For those of you who have been following us for a while you'd know that it's no secret that there are a few favorite things we like to make; Washi Tape, Journals, and Banners! We plan for each of these fan-favorites to make an appearance in this upcoming campaign, so stay tuned to see them announced later as we get closer to the launch of this project ;> Not to mention stickers! We'll be bringing stickers and stickersheets to this campaign too!
Lastly, while we currently don't have any firm plans for mini pins, we've got a couple mini-pin-sized ideas tumbling around in our noodles. I can't make any promises right now, but there's a chance we could see a few as a stretch goal ;>

That's all for now Stay Adventurous! - Jacob & Tokii
