First I just want to send a huge *THANK YOU* to each and every one of you for making this ita bag campaign such an amazing success during Bag Bazaar! 💖💖💖 I know this update is a little bit overdue, but I want to be transparent and let everyone know what's been happening behind the scenes 🤗 Nothing bad, I've just been incredibly busy on the road~
🌲The Journey to the middle of nowhere lol ⛺️📵🌲
So immediately after Bag Bazaar ended, I had to go straight to vend at a convention for the weekend. Then I traveled to vend at two separate week-long flea market/outdoor events that were held on isolated campgrounds in the middle of the woods. Even though I brought my computer with me to finish the surveys in my tent when the event closed each night, I was stuck with basically zero cell phone service. So that means I couldn't connect my computer to my mobile hotspot to work on anything 😩
Here's a visual of how frustrating it was trying to work on surveys in the middle of nowhere lol:
Any time I did manage to connect my computer to my mobile hotspot, I'd run into these weird error pages that I couldn't fix/lookup how to fix because of the internet connection that was worse than 90's dial-up internet lol 🙃🙃🙃
Getting so fed up by life and technology at this point lol
Now that I'm finally back home (and not living in a tent lol), I've gone into overdrive getting the surveys finished! ✅ The BackerKit team has been working with me since I got back to make sure there's no errors in the surveys, so I'm hoping to get the final survey approval by tomorrow and release the Smoke Tests!! (I'll send a new update when that happens~)
📅 Production timeline on schedule!! 💪🏼
The great news is that while I was traveling between shows, I was still able to contact my ita bag manufacturer on my phone to start the production process! That means that everything is on track with the original timeline which I'm super happy about! 🥰🙏🏼 I'm hoping to have the ita bags in hand around the middle/end of September~
‼️ To keep production on track, Surveys will be open for 2 weeks until the end of July!‼️ This is so I can update the final quantity if anyone wants to add an extra bag or anything else from the Survey Add-on shop ^_^
📸 More updates coming soon!
If you've backed any of my previous campaigns, I'll be posting photos + updates on those platforms soon that I missed posting because of the whole no service fiasco. Here's a sneak peak of the finished insect pins and some of the other pins in production🪲🖤

Thank you again everyone for your amazing support, patience, and encouraging words throughout this entire campaign!! 🥰🙏🏼💖 I'll share a new update ASAP when the surveys are finally approved and sent out!!
