Goals are a good thing to have, right?


So let's set some goals.

When we hit $1750, we'll unlock E...E is for Enemies to Lovers.

The pin design is done and it's gorgeous.

I'll reveal it to the masses once we're over the line!

When we hit $2500, we unlock F.

Of course, I've had a dilemma. I don't know WTF. Um... that means, I don't What the F.

I did. And it's still an adorable idea that I might go with.

But I thought I'd put the idea up to the masses before I finalized the idea I'm sending to my artist. Once Stacy and I hammer it out, she'll get to work. She is loving this project, too. I hope you feel the same!
 
The ultimate goal is to hit $3500, which unlocks H. If we get there and we're doing well? Then we brainstorm on my mega goal!

If you're in the US and anything like me, you're feeling the weight of the past weeks. It's been...a lot. The events unfolding in Minnesota are heavy, but the citizens there are the very picture of resilience and strength.

Some of the creators in Pintopia are from Minnesota and I wanted to share them. If you have checked them out, please do!

We're so close...just a couple of pledges and we'll hit E!

I revealed D a few days ago, but if you missed it...he's adorable.



My artist Stacy is so awesome!  She's working on a sticker design for the collab piece and then it's time for F.

I had an idea in mind, but decided to put it out for a vote...what say you?

ISN'T HE ADORABLE?

Um... I mean distinguished, of course.

He's very distinguished.

Stacy did a phenomenal job on my dragonly duke. Or is he a dukely dragon?

I don't know.

I just know he's adorable.

I've chatted with Stacy about the upcoming designs!

D is almost done. E has been discussed and she's excited to proceed!

I'm not an artist. I write. I've done some of my own covers and I can do some graphics using sites like Canva, but I can barely draw a straight line and my stick figures laugh at me.

But I have great images in my head.

So, using Canva, I mock up the images I have in mind.

Like the images for Books & Chicken.

I showed Stacy one image...and you can see what she created.


The entire idea for this project stemmed after I had the funny idea of the chicken while I was thinking of the ABCs of Romance. Because I couldn't really do that pin. These pins are family friendly!



Pin D was originally going to be a Duke. Because romance is lousy with Dukes. But...I love dragons. And dragons abound in romance lately.

And...well, it's my party. If I want dukes and dragons, why can't I have both???

So, I sent this image to Stacy and asked if she could a dragon in regency!


And she's working on it.

F is next.  Can you guess?

There are still a few early bird options to nab multiple pins for a discount! Grab them while you can!

So, I kinda jumped the gun yesterday and shared Mr. Chicken early but...I had to. Look how cute he is!

And we're fully funded!

My artist is working on Pin D and now I have a question...
