Just realized it's been about a month since I updated you guys and wanted to stop in to give you guys a quick overview of where everything is so far :) 

I got the pins ordered a few weeks ago and they are in the process of being made. I am very excited about working with this manufacturer. They are a lot more expensive than my previous ones, but they have a very good reputation for very high quality pins and a very small flaw rate. This was important to me, as I really wanted to avoid a lot of the difficulties I've run into in the past. So, fingers crossed, everything goes super smooth - and in a little bit, they will be shipping beautiful shiny pins to me. 

In the meantime now, I am working on getting the backing art cards finished and ordered. I don't foresee any trouble with these as I make a lot of gold foil prints on the regular - so should go according to plan without surprises. So, not a long update, but an eventful, exciting one! :) 

Pins are currently being made. Everything is going smooth and moving forward. Love you guys! 🖤

Oh - and for the surveys, they are still open. I didn't need to lock them down to get a count close enough for what I needed to order. There were a few comments worried about that, so I went ahead and left them open in case any one needed more time. There are a few dozen people who haven't filled them out yet, so if you haven't yet please take a sec to pick your rewards. But otherwise, I don't see any issues with anything. I am going to leave them open a little longer, to wait till closer to ship time before closing it, to hopefully give everyone as much time as possible. Hope that helps!
