This week I've sent off all the last parcels for this project making this officially 100% fulfilled for those who paid, filled in their survey and paid shipping! Hooray!!
There is one straggler who I have sent an direct email, this in regard to being a US citizen while selecting Canada when they backed the project. If this is you please check your email so we can sort out a solution for your order, now that I can ship to the US again!
All others whose initial charge didn't work out or never filled in the survey are now seen as a donation.
Thank you all so much for the support and the positive responses to the products! For those who missed out and want some more, the enamel pins are now available in my Shop.
Hoping all the projects hop over to your door safely and wishing you all a frogtastic week!
Parcels have been send off in batches these two weeks and some (mostly Dutch orders) have been received already! According to Backerkit I've fulfilled 71% so far and I can visually see I have 9 orders left here, on my desk, to pack and send off.
These orders are waiting on the acrylic keychains that are still in production. I expect late next week to hear something of a shipping notification of those keychains. So thank you in advance for your patience!
In the meantime the leftover enamel pins are all up and available in my online store right now. The sticker sheet will follow soon, probably along with the leftover keychains when they are here.
I think this will be one of the last updates for now. The very last one will be when all parcels are sent off to let you all know you can keep an eye on your postal box!
As a small reminder: last few days for my current project, Frogtastic Frogs #2! We've unlocked 17 amphibians so far and I hope to unlock one toad and 4 axolotl's before the end still. There are also a ton of fun add-ons like Desert rain frog socks!
Only the Cane toad (bottom left) and the axolotl's are left to be unlocked!
Hopping into your mailbox with an update! The survey's have been locked and cards have been charged! There are currently two with failed card charges but that won't stop me from preparing for the fulfillment. Do check if you have a message about your failed charge and have it fixed asap!
So what next?
As we speak my partner has been un-bagging all the pins ready to check the quality of them all. This week I'll order the sticker sheet with the new designs on it and the keychains are also currently into production. Orders with these items will have to wait until these items arrive, but in the meantime other orders I'll be pinning, collecting and packing in their envelopes/parcels.
In total I have about 40 parcels to pack for this project and with other deadlines still active (along with an active crowdfunding project at the same time) I'll be packing them at a slower pace. In February the parcels will all be shipped off to their new homes tho!
Finalize your address!
Now is the time to finalize the address you want me to ship the items to! If you need more time for a final address, due to a move or something, please let me know (comments below, dm on instagram/bsky, contact through contact form on my webshop) and I'll think along as what we can do.
Leftovers of this crowdfunding project will hit my webshop later and will be available at the upcoming conventions as well.
That's it for now. Leaving you with an army of pins on our dining table. The sun came out so nicely too, does make the colours a bit off.

One short and sweet update regarding the pins. Today they have been shipped to me! Once they arrive I'll lock and charge the surveys, but to pin-point a date for it I'd say around 26th of January. After unpacking and grading the fulfillment will start!
Fun to know is that next week 22nd of January the new Frogtastic Frogs #2 project will go live! Fifteen new amphibians will hopefully be unlocked during the project.
Just woke up to a message of my manu with photo's from the pins! No other message at all but I'm gonna assume I can expect a shipment notice mail next week.
I did want to share the photo's with you all of course!
They all look SO GOOD! I'm so excited for them to arrive!
Once I receive the shipping notice I plan to lock and charge the surveys. So be sure to check the address you filled in, and keep an eye out on your card info so it's all sorted for the payment.
Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas and Yule celebrations. And for those who don't celebrate I hope you have a great week!
