Hi all! Just a quick update - I have decided to leave the pre-order store open until all surveys have been collected! 

We have just 11 more to go, so I expect that those surveys will be in in the next week or so. 

I have been approving proofs for the enamel pins as they've come in, so production will begin soon, and hopefully that means visual updates for everyone!!

Please feel free to comment or e-mail at [email protected] if you have any questions!

I will be reaching out to backers who ordered custom peekers this week as well to gather info and get you in my work schedule for drawing your sweet little beans :)

This update is really just for backers only! Reminder the pre-order store closes in TWO DAYS!

I'm so immensely grateful by how quickly surveys are being filled out! Thank you all so much! I'm going to wait one full week to send reminders to those who have yet to complete their surveys. And, with all the add-ons everyone has been grabbing, it's looking like the monster peets WILL BE UNLOCKED! 
I am going to reach out to the manufacturer for a quote, and depending on how that goes, I will remove the quantity requirement for the monster peets in both the pre-order & add-on sections. 

Don't be afraid to share the pre-order store with anyone who might be interested, as well! The starry peets are close to being unlocked again as additional add-ons, so the more money is raised, the closer we will be to getting them produced!

Hi all! Quick little update here to let you know that ALL surveys will be going out this coming MONDAY, the 6th!

Please fill these out ASAP - the sooner surveys are filled out, the sooner I can see if monster peets will be unlocked, and more starry peets as well!

Reminder, preorder store is open for anyone interested - items in the preorder store are listed at retail pricing, and are ideal if you were unable to pledge but still want pins! 

Please feel free to leave comments if you have any further comments/concerns/questions! I am doing my best to field issues as they pop up, and appreciate everyone's patience as this is my first set of enamel pins and my first crowdfunding campaign!

I will be doing so manually at a later date (close to when pins will ship, so not until they are received and graded in June/July!) so you have plenty of time if you are worried about shipping/additional item cost going onto a card!

Thanks again everyone! I'm so excited to see these pins come in - we should be placing the order for manufacturing any day now, which puts us one day closer to PEETS!!!

Hi all!

Just a short update to let you know that Smoke Test surveys have been sent out - these surveys are sent to 5% of backers to give me a chance to make any changes or fixes to the surveys before they're sent to all 50+ of you :) If you receive a survey, please fill it out ASAP and if you notice any issues, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or issues.

You will see a question about your choice of pin for one of your incentives (the other incentive will match the pin you pledged to, the first add-on pin chosen, or be random if you did not pledge to a pin at all!) and I will add those items in myself to your cart - so no worries about that. 

You will see a question about the freebie sticker(s) you want. If you ADD MORE PINS during the survey that puts you above that threshold, I will be reaching out with a google form to fill out AFTER the initial survey period to have you choose your additional sticker(s)!

Starry peet and monster peet will need to reach certain amounts purchased in order for them to become available (or, in the case of starry peet, available again). If you want either, make sure to add them to your cart (they are available at full retail price of $12 for everyone). 

My FAQ is bare atm because this is my first campaign - but I will likely be filling it out with questions as they are asked to make things easier for all.

Thank you again for ALL your help bringing this project to life, and I will be sending out another update in the coming week or so!

Hi all - I'm still ironing out some wrinkles in the surveys. I may send those out before the 14-day mark, but I may also wait until I am able to manually charge the failed cards. We are down to only SIX people with failed payments, so please if you can check your e-mail, you should have received something telling you to update your payment and how to do so! We are at least under the 10% mark in terms of amount of funds currently uncharged, but if we can get all cards charged that would be amazing. 

If you've already corrected your payment, or your payment HAS gone through, don't worry, you have nothing to do except wait for surveys to come out!

Thank you all for your patience - I just felt bad with the radio silence and wanted to give a lil update (as a treat).

WE DID IT Y'ALL!!!! I'm so, so excited, grateful, thrilled, proud, etc. etc. etc. and can't wait to move this process along and get everything going! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for everything you've done to help this campaign come to life!! Also, apologies in advance for the text-heavy update, but I want to be sure all relevant information is in here!

Some of you have already had your cards charged - this process should continue over the next few days. If your card is declined for any reason, you will receive an e-mail with information & steps to take in order to rectify the situation! (Either re-charging the card, or changing out your payment method).
The system will automatically try to re-charge your card one final time on or around May 2nd and if your card still declines by that point, you unfortunately will NOT be able to get your items. So please be sure any failed charges are fixed by that point!

I have decided to open the preorder store for anyone who who was unable to pledge or otherwise missed the campaign, but still wants their pick of pins (or to help unlock the monster peets!)

What's in the store? Good question! All items that were available during the campaign are available in the store! However, they will be available at their retail pricing - this means all individual pins will be $12, gacha spins will start at $10 for one. This will be your last chance to choose which pin you'd like specifically! The preorder store will close once pins are in production (roughly 2-3 weeks from today!) so be sure to get your orders in now! 

I will be sure to send out at least one update about the closing before this happens, but possibly a second as well!
 
Those who order from the preorder store WILL STILL BE ELLIGABLE FOR FREEBIES! The freebie stickers and pins will be available for purchase, as well, if you'd prefer that!

EVERYONE will be receiving an e-mail about their survey within the next 2 weeks. 

I need these filled out in order to gather your address, calculate shipping cost, add freebies to your order, and gather information about specific items you may have pledged to (pinboards, custom peekers, and items like suncatcher paws which have several options, etc.). The survey will remain open until I have shipped out all orders. Once the final filled-out survey order has been shipped, I will close all remaining surveys and will not be issuing refunds if any unfilled out surveys remain. Your pledge will be considered a donation at that time. I estimate this date to be somewhere between Mid-June and End-July, but will be sending out MANY updates between now and then to remind everyone!

Once your survey is completed, you will be charged for any additional add-on items, I will manually add on your freebies if applicable, and you will be all set until I have received the pins, washi, campaign-exclusive stickers, lanyards, and any other items and am ready to ship them out!

ADDITIONAL REMINDER THAT YOU WILL BE CHARGED SHIPPING SEPARATELY, AFTER YOUR SURVEY IS COMPLETED AND ITEMS ARE READY TO SHIP. I will be sure to send you AT LEAST 2 updates that remind you of this, possibly more as I may include the reminder in every update between now and when shipping begins. Once I am ready to ship items, surveys will be locked and you will no longer be able to make edits. So be sure you add on any items, and answer any relevant questions before this time!

While we backslid slightly under the $2100 second washi goal, it will STILL BE AVAILABLE as an add-on and pre-order store item! I figure I can afford to toss the $17 of my own money toward production, as I am extremely excited to see how the cute little booty friends turn out!!

Monster Peets will be available to add to your cart, but will not be charged/fulfilled if we don't hit the number required - across all three designs I will need to see THIRTY of them ordered to be able to afford full production. Even if we don't end up hitting this amount, rest assured that I have already begun plans for a SECOND Peets 'n' Beans campaign, with the rest of mine and Plum's peets as well as monster peets as early stretch goals! This campaign set a fire in me that can only be maintained by MORE PEETS!!!

You will be hearing from me several more times over the next few months as deadlines approach, manufacturing updates roll out, pins arrive, and are finally shipped! I cannot WAIT to get going, and hope you're all as excited as I am to see these sweet little beans in person <3

This is likely to be my last update - but, I'm coming in hot with an UNLOCKED WASHI TAPE - for a reminder this is the unlocked tape below:

This washi is now available as an add-on for $6!

We are only $267 away from the final stretch goal - MONSTER PEETS! Because we're so close to the end, these will be available in the add-on section post-campaign IF they are unlocked.

Finally, the WINNING PEET DESIGN (by a pretty wide margin!) is the Neon Splatter Peet!!

This peet is now available as both a pledge tier and an add-on!! 

I wanted to toss in one final reminder about the FREEBIES available!

If you back 3, 6, or 9 peets you get to choose 1 each of these three stickers per number of peets reached! So to get all three, you'll need 9 peets backed!
If you back 5 pins, you get 1 booty pin at random - back 10 you get 2, and back 15 to get all three!

Finally, pin boards are available as an add-on for anyone who would like a matching peet for all their future peet pin needs!!

Some things to note - the frame will feature a scalloped edge when the real boards are completed. Additionally, there may be changes to the infill pattern used to create the holes in which the pins will seat themselves - I plan to experiment with a few options, but I don't dislike this pattern, so it will remain an option to use!
Additionally, the lines you can see connecting each bean (within the orange peet) will not be present in the final version! This was both mine & my friends' first time attempting a project like this, and so he has made a note to modify how the printer prints the final versions to prevent that from happening.

I want to shout out to Steve for his help on this project - his 3D printing IG is Dragon's Nest 3D Prints and he has been branching out into a lot of exciting projects even if his social media doesn't show it!

Here is a shot of the board without any pins, and it is available as an add-on now for $25. You'll be able to totally customize your paw and beans color in the post campaign survey as well, so rest assured that orange and pink is not the only option!

There will be one final update tomorrow around 10 AM to announce the final peet addition - unless we reach the $2100 and $2500 funding goals, at which point there will be an announcement about the three monster peets and additional washi design. 

Thank you all SO MUCH for your help making my VERY FIRST crowdfunding endeavor AND first ever enamel pins such an amazing success!! I can't wait to see all these little peets in person and get going packaging them all up for you to receive!!

Just wanted to hop in and say I added two new pledge tiers - one 6 pin backers choice tier with the same $10 discount as the 6 base goal peet tier, and a full 16-peet tier (which will be updated to reflect which pin you all chose in THIS POLL once it closes Wednesday evening! It's NECK and NECK right now, so keep voting!!).

If you back either of the 6-peet tiers you'll get TWO freebie 3" stickers and ONE freebie pin (pictured below!). The backer's choice tier allows you to choose 6 from ANY available pins (there will be SIXTEEN!!)
If you back the 16-pin tier (with a discount making the pins roughly the same price as the gacha spins!) you not only get 16 peets, you get THREE freebie 3" kitty stickers, and THREE freebie kitty booty pins! 

We only have 60-something hours to go y'all - and I need your help deciding on which custom peet design should be made available! This was pledged for by my wonderful friend Plum, and designed by the both of us!!

I'll have the new options below - the poll will be closing in 48 hours to allow plenty of time for people to choose, and then the winning peet will be available as a pledge, add-on, and post-campaign add-on for those who missed it during the campaign!
