Hi everyone! 

I've had some questions about when the project is going to launch and I wanted to take a moment to keep everyone in the loop. 

As some may know, I am currently in the process of fulfillment for my Black Cat Botanicals pin project from February 2026. I ran into an issue with the pins having a high amount of errors when they arrived, which mean the 5,000 pins I received took me 3-4x as long to quality check than normal. Remakes of the afflicted designs are in the works, but the situation ate up all of my spare time to put the finishing touches on the launch of Cute Collectors.

Fulfillment for Black Cat Botanicals is going well otherwise, but I'm still under half-way through it at this time and trying to move as quickly as I can. 

I have the newest cherry blossom binder sample in hand and at this point, I just need a spare moment to finish the remainder of the designs, graphics, and product photos for this campaign! 

Most of the graphics are complete, but I am still working on finishing up the stretch goal designs, the accessories, and product photos are in the works for the cherry blossom binder. 

I don't want to rush this last stretch, especially since I'm very excited about the stretch goal designs and want to make sure I'm happy with them (and hopefully you will be too!)

I've put quite a bit of work and money into this project and I want it to be able to launch on the right foot and with everything in place while also doing right by both projects when it comes to managing my time!

I'm hoping this is the last time I will have to move the counter for the project. I hadn't expected to prolong the launch this much, but it was a necessity to ensure I could put things in motion for Black Cat Botanicals and its backers. 

If I have to move it again, I will let everyone know what the new launch date will be, but I am really REALLY pushing to have this new one be actual launch. I'm excited to get this project started! 

Best, 

Zandra
