Project Update: Quick update
As previously mentioned...I bit off more than I could chew with my first crowdfunding campaigns and I want to wrap those up before moving forward.
That said, I anticipate wrapping up my first Backerkit campaign (I Choose the Bear) by the end of November 2026. Once that is done, I'm going to focus on the Kickstarter campaign I launched in 2025 and this campaign (ABCs of Romance 2026).
This campaign was relatively simple and I hope the be able to start mailing rewards out in December of 2026. However, I can't be positive of that date.
I might be wrong and if things change, I will let you know.
I thank you for your patience and will update you as time allows.

Project Update: Update - Cross-posted (long) with apologies
Status of … Me
First, let me apologize for the tardiness of this update. Second, apologies for the generic update, because this is going out to several campaigns.
That said…when last we met, I was trying to get over (another) health problem and trying to clear my office out so I could order another batch of books in for the followers of my Bear campaign. I was also wrapping up the updates on my Colbana files so I could start on formatting and adding the art, and working with the artist for the Preterns.
There is a fourth campaign, but I will be honest—I want to finish my Bear campaign before I start ordering in the pins for Pintopia. I still hope to complete shipping by early 2027, but I need to complete the Bear campaign first.
Bear/Kit/Preterns
As referenced in an earlier update, I’m limited on space – when I first started this campaign, that wasn’t the case. Middle Kid had recently graduated and moved out. Last summer, a friend of Youngest’s moved in. Then, early this year, my niece’s housing situation dissolved and now she’s living with us. Even the space I once had is gone, so I have to clear out in batches.
I still need to order the next round, which I should have already done.
This is where I owe another apology.
May is historically a terrible month for me as far as my depression goes due to the loss of my brother some years back. This year, I decided to do something rather than wait for the monthly slump. We vended at a ren faire, something I’ve wanted to do for years. It did help.
But it left me exhausted and my health problems have flared up. I’d get home Sunday, sleep most of Monday and have little energy or focus for work or anything else until Wednesday, at which point I’d have to drill down and focus on the next week’s faire and freelance work.
In addition, there are some family issues going on behind the scenes that are taking a lot out of me. Those are mostly resolved, but it's divided my attention more than I care to admit.
Unfortunately, this means I’ve let other things fall behind.
That includes backers of my campaigns and I apologize.
Bear
I’m planning on getting the next round of books in the mail within the next two-three weeks and the next batch of books ordered.
I’ll be getting another couple of rounds of orders sent out within the next month.
Colbana Files
I’m done with the revisions/bonus chapters and am going to be working on the formatting and adding the art in.
That will take several weeks to a couple of months, depending on if I need to commission any more art. The need for more art will depend on how everything flows with the formatting. I’ll use art to fill in the blank pages.
Preterns
I’m still working on book 3. My artist for the other books has offered to help handle the art since the artist I’d previously hired just didn’t quite meet my expectations, but that does mean more art going to one person. I’ll have an update here as soon as I’m able.
ABCs of Romance Pins
I hope to have a better idea of when I’ll be able to tackle this one once I’ve cleared my plate a little.
Long story short
I overloaded myself and I shouldn’t have. I apologize and I appreciate your patience.

Project Update: G, that looks good...
Stacy finished the design for G!
I love it!
This, like the rest of the pins, will be one of the options available for pin backers!
I'm wrapping up the pledge manager on my end and hope to have it wrapped up in the next couple of days.
