You all were so understanding to my last update. Things got really serious and bad at home. This last month and a half has been a whirlwind to experience. A lot of low lows, and a lot of high highs. I'm so sorry for how inconsistent my updates have been this whole last year, and thank you all for understanding even before the full story explaining why came out. Thanks to you guys I am getting back on my feet. Thank you all for showing up for me. Yall saved my life, thank you all.  

I've been posting little youtube shorts when I fins a good moment to give an update on my life and what I'm tackling over there (such as the online print sale) so if yall wanna stay tuned in with my situation and the incredible impact yall's support have given us, you can watch my youtube shorts! So far, I have three of them!  😭💙🙏 WE BOUNCING BACK!  WE DOING IT!

SO! thankfully everything for this kickstarter is going smoothly. About two weeks ago, I got an update from the manufacturer that the enamel pins finished production, and they are being shipped to my new residence! So they should already be about half way here! I'm sorry I didn't get an update once they were first finished, I was just in the heat of unpacking and getting our house in order, and I've only gotten to this now. Thank you all for understanding. All the pins look great, and while manufacturer photos are never the best, here are what they look like!
 

Also I finally put backs on my backercards to my Etsy and me and my girlfriend Bri's email list that talks about both of our future projects and sale announcments and stuff. 

but yeah!!! I'm leaving for FanExpo Denver on Wednesday and I will be gone for a full 2 weeks, so not till like June 11th. They enamel pins I'm gonna guess will arrive while I'm gone, or soon after I return home! So! Shipment for these bad boys will start happening around then!

Thank you all so much!!!

A brief explanation is that we fell behind on rent for one month, and sank immediately, and now we are facing an eviction and need to move into a small apartment ASAP. We are fighting not to become homeless, and we need help. This is an emergency, I have run out of all of my resources. I have nowhere to turn. I’m so sorry to ask this. Thank you so much for your time. You are my last resort. 

Here is a GoFundMe with a lot more information

Here is a youtube Video that I have posted, that also gives more information, and an update since the launch of the GoFundMe. If you have seen the GoFundMe already before now, for an update, skip to 9 minutes into the video.

Thank you all so much. I ask, even just $5 a person, could possibly save our lives. I admit, this is what we have been fighting, and is a big reason why I have fallen behind on the Coffee Dragon Kickstarter, and my mental health has declined so bad. This is the full, and very vulnerable, explanation of why. It has been awful, and we can’t beat this alone. And if you cannot donate, that is totally ok! So in turn, I ask that you please share the GoFundMe and or my Youtube Video around? On social medias. On servers. Forums. Tell your friends, family etc. whoever and whatever anyone feels comfortable with. It can potentially save us. Thank you!😭💙

These were the bakery babies that needed a few adjustments, but luckily all the of these adjustments are super fast and quick easy fixes. They are also so minor that they don't delay anything. I adjusted what you see, and because I know that'll make them perfect, they are going to start production immediately. So once they correct it, which they said two days from now, all pins will be in production!!! YIIPPEEE!!!! 

The Lemon tart technically needs a new mold which is like $40, which haha is $40 I don't have. but my manufacturer is so cool, that they are like "don't worry you literally paid for everything else, we'll start production. just pay before we ship it :)" which is like SO COOL! Guh I love them! They are so nice and so quality. 

I know quite a few of you guys have backed my previous projects, and that includes the Coffee Dragon campaign on kickstarter. If you are a backer for that campaign, there is an update here that you can see if you missed it!  💙✨More information about it is there.

hmmm the link isn't working? so hahah here!

That kickstarter campaign is wrapping up finally, and there's a handful of orders I can't get out yet, but I put the proper inventory aside for both finishing those orders, the inventory of coffee dragons I need for the add-ons of this campaign, and inventory for Etsy. This is all the inventory I put aside with plenty of extra each for every design. 

So thank you so much guys! I'll have another update about when the Dessert Bakery dragons are done baking!!! Thank you all so much! I love you all so dearly! Thank you all so much for the support. 

Hi guys! I just wanted to make a quick update, sorry it's been a month since the last update... Well! All the pins are paid for an on their way for productions!  The manufacturer said it would take about 20-30 business days to make, and with shipping and weekends it's projected to get here  in about two months. From there I'll update you guys once they are finished, and they have shipped, and also again when they get here. 

Thank you guys for being so patient with me. I want to be professional, and I don't want to blame my mental health for everything, but things truly have been so hard. Seriously thank you so much. For those that believe in me and know you'll get your pins, and stick around? Yall mean the world. Thank you. 

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up, that most of yall's surveys are completed, so I am gonna set the cards to be charged January 25th! If you aren't ready or if you dont have enough funds, there will be a second charge attempt Feb 1st. 

That's kinda it! Once the cards are charged, im gonna put in the order for the manufacturer and get that in right away! All the files are ready, with pantones and info. and my counts for the order are estimated enough to know what I need. 

Thank you so much! 🩵🙏
