Smoke Tests sent

Hello!
I just sent out surveys to a small group of backers to make sure everything goes smoothly.  Once those are completed, I will send the rest out.  If you get one, please fill out ASAP and send emails to [email protected] if you find a problem.  You will have time to update the survey once corrected and make any changes you want.

The survey is for you to choose your pin designs and purchase any add-ons.  There were 4 designs that did not get funded. They are still available to purchase, contingent upon enough orders to unlock the designs. You will only be charged for those pins and other items if they get unlocked. 

Free pins---new incentives for more freebies are included in the survey and in the preorder store.

Speaking of the preorder store, it is now open here:

Please share the like with cat lovers near you!

Thanks, and have a great week!

I have a poll to vote in. Which Little Devil pin do you like the most?

Happy Monday!

Hello! Just a short one this time. I have completed building the survey except for uploading some images. My internet has been sluggish at best lately. My photos don’t want to upload.

I should be able to turn the survey in for approval tomorrow.  It will take a couple of days before the smoke tests go out. Once the bugs are fixed it will go to all backers. 

I am excited to see which designs are most popular. The last four are still locked but they will be available if enough people order one and meet mini goals. 

Have a great week, 
Dacia 

My least favorite thing

Hello cat lovers!  I am working hard on my handmade items. I am looking forward to sharing them with you. Sneak peak images below. 

Unfortunately, there are several backers with failed credit card charges, totaling $435. If you are one of those folks, you should have been notified. Please get these corrected as soon as possible.  It may change the number of designs that I can offer.

Thanks for your support!

Yay! You are awesome!

Thank you for your backing. We unlocked almost everything! Only 4 designs were missed. 

Post-campaign:  It will take me a couple of weeks to set up the survey. The Backerkit platform has many great features, but it is a lot to wade through.  Once I get final prices from my manufacturer, I will know if I can go ahead and make the some of unfunded designs.  Unfunded designs may be a separate funding goal in the survey to try to get enough orders to cover manufacturing, fees, and shipping. Or, I might run a mini campaign later with the last 4. 

If this is your first crowdfunding campaign, the survey is how you choose your pins and whatever other merchandise you want such as stickers, acrylic charms, and pin banners.  When I finish building the survey, Backerkit will send out “Smoke tests”. The survey is sent to about 5% of backers to test the survey for flaws. Once any issues are resolved, the rest of the surveys go out. 

I will keep you updated as things progress, but I will not overwhelm your in box. 😸. I hope you will follow me to see what else I do.  The next project I am working on is a collaboration with my daughter for Pintopia 2025 in January. We both have Pokemon themes. After that I will do more animals. 

Have a great weekend!  Thanks again for your support.
