Hey y'all!

Quick update to let you all know that surveys have started rolling out! They will close on September 4th, so be sure to fill yours out by then to guarantee you get the rewards you want.

Cards won't charge for survey add-ons/shipping until pins are wrapping up production. And you'll still be able to edit your address after surveys close.

Reminder for backers with failed pledge payments—
If there is no successful payment by September 3rd at 11:59PM CST, your pledge will be considered abandoned and will be canceled. At the time of writing, there are 19 of you, so please be sure to check your payments if you want your items!

If you have any questions or issues, please email my husband at [email protected] for assistance. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, but I will periodically check for them!

Hey y'all!

We’re at the final days of the campaign, so here is some important info as we transition to post-campaign!

Once it ends, Backerkit typically charges payment methods within 24-72 hours. I do not offer refunds, so please keep that in mind if you need to back out before the end!

If this happens, you will receive an email from Backerkit informing you of the failure with instructions on how to fix it. Backerkit will attempt to recharge your payment method ~7 days after the initial charge.

Backerkit will send out surveys via email around Tuesday, August 25th (smoketest surveys will go out a day or two before this to help me discover any issues or errors). This is where you’ll be able to see any freebies you qualify for, choose your pledge rewards, pick any other add-ons you’d like, and fill out your address!

You will also confirm your payment method for the shipping costs, which will be charged closer to fulfillment. If you add other add-ons to your order, you will be charged for them at the same time as your shipping cost. Don’t worry, I’ll post an update and send an email warning before you’re charged for shipping costs so it’s not a surprise. You will still be able to update your address until right before I begin shipping.

BACKERS SHOULD WAIT FOR SURVEYS TO GO OUT TO PURCHASE ADD-ONS! You'll be charged shipping twice if you're a backer and also place a preorder, since Backerkit sees it as two separate orders. So just be patient and spread the word about the preorder store to your non-backer friends! :D

Some of you may have already seen, but there is technically a final stretch goal! If we reach 150 backers before the end of the campaign, the Cosmo Balloonine sticker from our cross-collab with PupPins will be added to the campaign as a pin! We're only 6 people away, so I'm hoping we'll hit that mark before the end! 


Now I gotta get mushy for just a second here. You all have made my very first campaign fantastic, and I cannot thank ya'll enough. I don't even know how to begin! Suffice it to say though, I appreciate each and every one of you for helping my little balloon dogs come to life. Thank you so so much from the bottom of my heart for your support! 

ALL DESIGNS ARE FULLY FUNDED!! You guys knocked out those pledge levels so quick I've just been trying to catch up! XD

Thank you all so much for all your support and for loving my silly little guys just as much as I do!

I won't be adding anymore pin designs, but I did add another add-on for a sticker sheet with mini stickers of all the Balloonines for journalling or scrapbooking or what have you! They're stickers, you can put those bad boys anywhere!

Each sticker is roughly 1-inch wide on a matte clear backing. Grey borders are only to indicate cutlines; they will be clear! :D [Updated to add the Cosmo Balloonine!]

Hello again! [So sorry about the double update, but this will be the last update for a little while or until everything is safely fully funded.]

The art for the last two stretch goals is now complete! And while I was working on them, the first of the two unlocked lol! Ya'll are amazing!

If you back for 10+ Balloonines either during the campaign or in the post-campaign survey, you'll get a FREE Nostalgia Balloonine! This pin is exclusive to the 10+ pin incentive and won't be available for purchase on surveys.

Thank you all again so much for the love on these silly little guys! I'm so excited to see which ones are ya'lls faves!

AAA YOU GUYS DID IT!! AS OF RIGHT NOW, ALL 18 PINS ARE FULLY FUNDED!!

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS, I AM SO SO SO EXCITED AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! YOU'RE ALL AMAZING!!

THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!

So what is next? Well! I have a few more ideas spinning around [thanks in part to many of your comments on my last update!] and I have added placeholders while I work on the new designs for two new stretch goals ya'll can unlock! Also, there will be a special super duper exclusive freebie pin for people who back for at least 10 pins! [design to be determined]

Stickers & Keychains

I'll be back very soon with another update showing off the new pins I'll be adding, but I hope ya'll are just as excited as I am!
