Hey ya'll! I have an exciting update!

After a few grueling days of nonstop grading, sorting, and packing [my fingers are so sore lol]; I can safely say fulfillment is [*mostly] complete! 

* I'm still waiting to hear back from those of you who ordered the pink cookie pins. 4/17 have gotten back to me! Thank you to the few people I have heard from so far, definitely sped up the process for me! If you ordered the pink cookie pin, please check your emails ASAP and let me know if you'd still like that pin or if you'd like to exchange it for another. Again, if I don't hear from you by the 31st, I'll go ahead and pack up orders and send them off! 

I can't wait for you all to start getting your pins. :D Be sure to tag me on blusky/instagram in any photos, I'd love to see where ya'll put your pups! 

Hey hey y'all!

Pins are here! I'll attach photos of them all at the end of this update!

Fulfillment will begin around this weekend after a looot of quality checking. [38 pounds of pins for Balloonines alone! WE'RE DROWNING IN PINS LOL] Tracking number emails via Backerkit have been sent out. :D


Combined Shipping
If you backed both PupPins and Balloonines, your tracking number for your combined package will only be visible on your PupPins pledge. If you do have a tracking number on both pledges, it should be the same number. If for some reason it's not, feel free to reach out!

Didn't get a tracking number email? Check your survey/shipping payment!
I have 1 survey straggler and 1 backer with a failed charge. I can't send your pledges until these are fixed! The project will be closed on [October 31st] due to completing fulfillment, so PLEASE be sure to fix your issues before then! I really want to get your pins sent out to you!

❗ IMPORTANT NOTE — If you're missing a sticker(s) from your package, please feel free to send Yuuni an email! ❗
After Yuuni and I finished packing stickers, we found a few that had fallen out from our pile that likely escaped from backer orders by accident. Email Yuuni at [email protected] with the sticker that you're missing and we'll happily send it out via stamped letter ASAP!

If you missed out on the campaign or want extras for your friends, they will be available in my shop soon!

If you have issues with your package or anything else, please reach out to Yuuni via email at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.

Good news: I was a bit anal about the purple pins during production [because I know purple is rough when it comes to printing] and I'm so glad I was because they turned out perfect! They're all so colorful and I'm in love!

Less good news: So.. Now that they're here, I can see that the pink cookie turned out much darker than I thought it would based on manufacturer photos. In the sunlight it looks great! In normal room lighting it looks magenta, or even purple. I'm a bit disappointed by this, but I don't think it's quite bad enough to completely reorder the pins. That said though, if anyone is disappointed by the pink cookie and wants to exchange it for a different one of my pins, please let me know [via Yuuni's email [email protected]] by the end of this month [October 31st]! If I don't hear from you by then, then I'll assume you're alright with the color as is. c: 

I'd love to get these sent out to ya'll as soon as possible though, so please get back to me ASAP if you want your pin exchanged! 

Hey ya'll! 

I just wanted to pop in real quick because I have progress photos of all the pins and I was too excited to wait to show you guys! :D [I know I posted a few on the last update, but I wanted to put them all in one place so you don't have to switch between posts to see everyone.] Suffice it to say this will be a photo heavy update. And as always, please keep in mind that these are under factory lighting, so the colors may be just a bit off. 

Without further ado, here are the photos! 

A couple of these puppies were troublemakers and there were some color misprints, but luckily they've all been fixed up now and I'm so happy with all of them! I hope you all love them as much as I do! 

Stickers and keychains have all arrived as well, so now we're just waiting on pins to get to me so they can come home to all of you. :D

Hey all!

Cards will be charged for shipping and any survey add-ons on Friday, September 25th. If you backed both PupPins and Balloonines, your shipping charge should only be from PupPins. If you ordered add-ons with Balloonines, you will still be charged for those from Balloonines.
You'll still be able to edit your address until I receive the pins and you'll get an email notice when those are going to lock.

All pins have been ordered and production is well underway! This is our biggest order with Yuuni's manu yet, so it'll take them a bit to get through them all. We're still on track for a December fulfillment, though it'll likely be earlier based on their previous production times.

In the meantime, here are some progress photos! Please keep in mind that these are taken with factory lighting, so colors may look a bit off. The last two (pink cookie and virtual idol) are screenshots from videos the manu sent to show their colors better! I'm so in love with them all so far, especially kintsugi and the cookies! I love so much that their little sprinkles and the gold cracks are slightly 3D because of the way they're printed. I hope you guys like them as much as I do! 

If you have any questions, please email my husband at [email protected]. I don't get timely notifications for comments left on Backerkit updates, but I'll check for them periodically.

Thank you all again for the support! 💜

Hey y’all!

Surveys/preorder store are closing & orders are locking in 48 hours from now on Friday, September 4th! This is also when only preorders will be charged!

This is your chance to make any last-minute selections and/or changes. Backers won't be charged for shipping yet (preorders will), and you'll still be able to update your address as needed.

Thanks so much for the majority of you guys filling out your surveys quickly! Because of this, I was able to place the pin order sooner than scheduled. As of writing, we're waiting on 7 backers to complete their surveys, so please go check that sooner rather than later! I want you all to get your pins!

🚨 There are also 9 failed charges remaining. Your pledge will be cancelled if there is no successful payment by tomorrow, September 3rd at 11:59PM CST. Please refer to this Backerkit support article on how to fix it.

If you need me for issues with your survey or anything else, please reach out to my husband via email at [email protected]. I don’t get timely notifications for comments left on updates, though I will periodically check for them.

Thanks again for your support! ♥
