Pins are in!!!!
almost 4 years ago – Sat, Jun 13, 2020 at 07:53:20 AM

🥳 Happy June everyone! 🥳

I am jumping on to let you all know that the pins have finally arrived, they look amazing, and I have started to get shipping started! It might be a slower-than-normal process since I am only one person, and with everything going on I want to give all packages at least 3 days to sit after packaging them up before I ship them out to you. This will help prevent any spread of COVID-19 that could possibly be lingering. I want to do my part to keep you all as safe as possible.

I can't wait until you guys see these pins...they look even better than the first round I think!!! 

Stay safe, stay happy, stay healthy!

Quick Update
about 4 years ago – Sat, May 09, 2020 at 10:25:18 AM

Hello all!

Just popping in quick this snowy May morning to say that the pins have been ordered, and are in production! I have not received any progress photos from the manufacturer yet but they should be on their way soon.

For those of you who have finished your surveys, thank you! Some of you have filled out the survey but not filled out your addresses, or not filled out the survey at all. I cannot send you your backer rewards without that information, so if you would like your rewards, please complete the entire survey. 

That being said, surveys will be locked and cards will be charged at the end of the month (May 31st) if you have issues with your orders please contact me or correct them before then!

I hope everyone is staying sane, healthy and safe. Until next time!

Hey everyone! 

Making a quick update to let you all know that surveys have been sent out this morning! Please fill them out as soon as possible. I have started the manufacturing process, so pins will be on their way in a few weeks.

✨If you can, please don't forget to share the pre-order store with non-backers! https://cyc-enamel-pins-2.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders✨

If you have any issues with the survey please reach out and I will do my best to help!

Have a great week,

Funds recieved, surveys soon!

Hello again to all my lovely backers!

I have received the funds from the campaign, which means that I am ready to send the info to the manufacturer and order the pins! 

Surveys are being reviewed, and I will be doing a smoke test to see how they work sometime this week. I am hoping to have the rest of the surveys sent out by the end of the week, so please make sure your Kickstarter email is current so you can receive your survey and get it done ASAP! Any survey not filled out will not receive their backer rewards.

I wanted to take a quick minute and share the "pre-order" store on Backerkit as well.  If you have friends who missed the Kickstarter or have other people in mind that might love them, please check it out. You will also be able to add extra pins onto your pledges if you're already a backer.

As a bonus, I have added the pins from the first campaign as add-ons as well!

As always...thank you, and stay safe out there!

Made it to the finish line!

🎉In a surprise turn of events, the first SIX pins have been completely funded!!! 🎉

I did not expect the sudden rush of backers in the last few hours, but you all made it happen. The first tier of stretch goals were unlocked just as the campaign ended. It was kind of a bumpy road this time around, but I am so grateful to all of you for making at least some of it successful! Even amidst a global pandemic, you all still supported me and this project and that means so much.

So what now?

Now comes the hard part and the waiting game. I will send the designs to the manufacturers and production will commence after I receive the funds. In the meantime I will be setting up BackerKit for the surveys and add-on store. I will be including the pins that weren't funded as add-ons so hopefully they can get made that way with enough interest.

"I pledged for more than 6 pins, but only 6 designs were unlocked. What should I do?"

I am leaving this up to all of you.

I am willing to take down the names of the people who pledge for more than 6 pins, and send them to you once they get made, but that might take a long time, as I am unsure when the rest will get made. I need to restock my first campaign pins first, so that would take priority.

 I would be willing to throw in some of my original 13 designs from the first campaign if people were interested in that. I am open to any and all suggestions, and I imagine it will be different for each individual. I will be sending each of those backers a message to figure it out on a personal level. 

Until next time, thank you so much again, and I can't wait to get these pins to you all! Stay safe, stay happy, stay healthy.
