Only A Couple of Days Left! 📣
5 months ago – Thu, Oct 30, 2025 at 11:14:46 AM

Hello Everyone!

Just a super quick reminder there is only a couple of days left before the campaign ends on November 2nd at 1am EDT! If you are interested in pledging and have not yet done so, now is the time!

Once the campaign ends, I will create the survey and send it out for you all to make your pledge choices and also include any add-ons you may want that you didn't get around to pledging during the campaign.

👻🎃~I hope you all have a great Halloween!~🎃👻

Thanks!

Day One Was a Huge Success!
5 months ago – Wed, Oct 22, 2025 at 09:07:20 AM

Hello Everyone!

I am blown away by the support this project has gotten in the past 24 hours!  Almost every initial campaign goal AND stretch goal has been reached! 9 out of the 10 designs have been unlocked!


The final design will unlock at $6000:


Also a reminder that if you missed out on my past pin campaigns, the pins are available in the Add-Ons section:






There are also just another 24 hours for Early Bird pricing if you want to get the best deal during this campaign! Everything will change to standard pricing midday on Thursday!

I am so happy you all enjoy my designs and that the campaign has been received well so far!

Thanks so much!

Upcoming Freebies!
6 months ago – Mon, Oct 20, 2025 at 06:46:35 AM

Hello again!

Making an update now before launch to feature some of the great freebies options that are a part of this campaign!

First off, since this project is a part of Pintober, I am offering a free sweet treat mini pin! 👻 When you back 3 or more Pintober campaigns and get a free sweet treat mini-pin from each of the artists you have supported! 🍬🍬🍬



In addition to this, I am again collaborating with my friend JBlake Designs to offer a free collaboration pin! When you back both her campaign and mine, you get a free pin from each of us!


Back both of our campaigns, you could get both the Pintober mini pins AND the collaboration pins!



Be sure to follow both of our campaigns here:



And finally for returning backers I am offering a free sticker with your pledge!



Pintober launches October 21st at 10am PST/ 1pm EST and for the first 48 hours I will have Early Bird pledge levels that feature reduced pricing:




☆An added update to the poll from my last post: It seems most people voted to keep the Usher design as a pin, so that will also be added to the Stretch Goals at campaign launch ☆

Phew, that was a lot of information! I look forward to the launch tomorrow and I hope you will join me on my campaign! Feel free to comment any questions you may have!

Thanks so much!

Quick poll update (sorry)
6 months ago – Fri, Oct 17, 2025 at 12:56:49 PM

Hi All,

Sorry for all the updates, I was having some technical difficulties. The poll was accidentally locked and preventing voting, but it should be working now.

Let me know if there are anymore issues and if there are any questions!

Thanks!
Allison
