Good News & Bad News

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
First the good news! Well the pins are finally on their way! My original estimate was back when I created a ten pin project... doubling that (I think) threw off all of my calculations. But I'm excited for them to get through customs and end up on my door step. (Let me know if you would like an unboxing stream!)
Now to the not-so-great news: When I made this campaign I had planned for it to be over well before Halloween. I think we can safely say that that's not going to be an option anymore. Not only that but I will be moving mid-November. This combined with my convention schedule, a recent loss in the family, and work means that I'll only be able to start shipping them late November. Which is super disappointing for all of us. I have left all of the addresses unlocked, so you'll be able to go into your survey and edit them if you're like me and moving house. (But let me know if you have any tech issues)
As an apology and to thank everyone for their amazing patience and support, I've decided to include and extra new postcard print with every order. I will be making an update soon with a poll for you to decide on what cryptid you would like to be the star!
Again, so sorry to be the bummer on this, the spookiest of seasons, but I am looking forward to finally boxing up and sending out your beasties when I can!
Warmest Regards,
Emily

Hello all you Cryptid Enthusiasts!
So as you may have guessed, there has been a delay in the production line and It's looking like I'm going to get the pins in mid October. It is my hope that I can get everyone their pins in time for spooky Halloween but I will keep you posted if production takes longer. Very sorry about that, but I can show you the pins that are currently completed:
These pins are ready to go!
In other updates, I have decided to go with recycled packaging for shipping! Last Kickstarter, I was a little upset with the amount of waste produced. So to be more conscientious, I will be using NoIssue packaging because of their stance on providing eco-friendly packaging.
As for the extras? I'm still waiting on a design for the zine but the patches are here and they look fabulous!
I hope everyone is doing well and I'm looking forward to getting these pins in!

Hi Everyone,
So while the pins are getting produced I wanted to update y'all with the examples. (There are a couple of misstakes with colors that I've already addressed with the manu. Not to worry!)
Here's the first look at samples!
Best,
Emily
An Update on Everything

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late update, life has been moving very fast and I’m currently writing this from my table at Tampa Bay Comic Con.
I wanted to let everyone know that I currently have the patches, waiting on some final art pieces from some artists for the Zine and stickers, and I’m currently waiting on a edit for the Beast of Bladenboro rainbow pin from my manufacturer before all pins are ready for mass production.
So we’re well on track!
Once I get regular access to wifi I’ll be posting pics of the finished pins in my next update.
In the meantime, I hope y’all are having a marvelous summer!
