Lavender and Honey - Enamel Pin collection

so i forgot to hit publish on the last post i made yesterday, announcing smoke tests were live. oopsies! but it seems almost all of you who were sent the smoke test survey have completed it already! so i will be sending out everyone's survey tonight (to give more time for any feedback or questions about the survey from the smoke test!)

dont worry about the shipping being charged, it will be charged when surveys lock after everyone completes surveys and when i start to make the production order!

as for the pledge failed charges, there is still those few people who need to update payment info! surveys wont be sent to you if the payment haven't gone through! (not including the shipping!) please update info or reach out to me if you cant update info right now!

preorder store is also live for anyone who missed the initial campaign! if you already pledged to this campaign, do not buy through the preorder store! when your surveys are sent, you can add on anything more that you want and choose which rewards you get!

thank you all for your patience!

i was just finishing up the survey - im all done except for the shipping rates calculations, as all or most of you know how horrific the situation is right now for trying to calculate any shipping for outside the us effectively. but i hope to get these surveys finished up asap and sent out soon!

though, it looks like 3 people still have failed payments! its actually a fair amount still needing to be collected from those whose payments have not gone through! so please make sure to check your pledge and card used to make sure it went through! 
for those who hasnt paid their pledge the surveys will not be sent to you until payment is completed! i just want to make sure everyone knows so they can get what they want from the survey!

first pin sample is near completion and i will post it as soon as i get the final pic! seems my manu is pretty busy at this time with many other orders so they've been a bit slower finishing her up!

hey all! sorry ive been silent on this project, i was waiting for the funding summary to be available so i can properly set up the surveys with what i can squeeze into the final funding amount. turns out, i under estimated just how much backerkit would take in fees by the end, and what i was sent was far much lower than i expected! that is my bad with planning the set up for funding goals, but it does mean its much tighter of an estimation.

but dont worry, i will be self funding as much as i can to make sure you all get exactly what you all want! i plan to have at least 5 standard pins and 4 mini pins available for the surveys, based on the poll about which pin designs were preferred to be available!

i will also be trying to set up the preorder store to hopefully also get more funding from the people who missed the initial campaign run!

the surveys are almost done being set up and i will send another update when the surveys get approved and the smoke tests start going out!

thank you for your patience and support!

the project has finally come to an end, and i sincerely thank every one of you guys for your support!

as i start making the survey, i will keep calculating out exactly the designs that will be available on the survey, but i am hopeful about it! also forgive me if there's a long delay for making the survey, i want to make sure everything is figured out and done before then, while i also figure it out for the first time!

i also may  wait until funding is dispersed to me before locking it in, in case the backer kit fees are more than i accounted for! i will also be ordering the samples right after as well!

as payments are being collected, remember to check if your payment went through! if your payment method says declined or is unable to go through make sure to update it! when surveys go out, if your payment has not been processed, your survey will not be sent!

in the mean time, my other pin project has launched right on the back of this one ending. i am planning on having production time being similar, with a month stagger so i don't overload my manufacturer, but the shipping will be sent at the same time! so if you guys backed this project and back the next one, shipping will be free for the second (you only have to pay shipping the one time!)

i apologize for being a bit silent, ive been busy as my classes have started and im just getting settled back into them!

i had talked to my manufacturer, and with some lower MOQ calculations, i can quite possibly fit in all but one or two designs (with some self funding if the current funding level stays until the end)
unless we get more funding, i wont be making the paw pins, and possibly the chibi mila or the mila emote pins. please let me know if you guys would prefer if i didn't drop those designs and i will consider other options to drop by the end!

thank you all for your support throughout this project and your patience!
