Oh my goodness grape juice, as I started to type this update, the campaign just hit the $20k funding mark!! WOW. I'm absolutely speechless. THANK YOU so much, each and every one of you who have backed to make this shroomy dream a reality :') 



I am so immensely stoked to begin production on all of our Shroomie friends! The mini plushie sample is underway, with the big plushie sample ready for full production. And I'm currently finalizing Pantone colors on each of the pins and getting the final files ready for manufacturing. It's an exciting time, and I can't wait to share process pictures with you down the road!

Thanks once again to all of your votes, we have a new pin design added to the campaign! This was definitely a tough choice and another close call, but BEHOLD: the free mini mushroom pin that will go to everyone who backs this project at any pledge tier!



Woohooo! 🙌 Great choice, y'all. I'm now deciding colors for this pin, and would love to know if you have any particular color(s) that you really want to see on this design. 👇 Let me know in the comments below! 👇

Alright, because this vote was pretty darn close, and because I really want to share the pin love and all my thanks to you for making this project a huge success ... I decided to move forward with ALL 3 pin designs above and make 3 different tiers of FREEBIES! Our first place winner will be given out to everyone, while the 2nd and 3rd place winners will be additional freebies when your pledge meets/exceeds certain $ totals. Check out all of the loot this campaign now has to offer below:



✨ Check out Critters Collective if you haven't yet!

👉 Note: all freebie rewards are tracked with your pledge. They will automatically be applied to your cart during the post-campaign survey.

And with that, I give you all my immense, heartfelt thanks again. 😭💖 These last remaining hours of Pintopia are a thrilling and wild ride, and I'm so happy you're here to be a part of it! Let's finish strong, Shroomie gang!!

Hi Shroomie gang! Just like that, it's the final week of Pintopia 2025—we're in the real home stretch now 👀🎉

First, I want to kick off this update with a lil video that came in from my plushie manufacturer. We've been working together over the last few weeks to finetune the overall shape and tweak some little details on the main Shroomie Plushie, and I'm really happy now with the updated sample! For reference, here's how the first sample came back to me—not super off from the artwork, but still a bit wonky 😅:

Most notably, we got the shape of the mushroom cap to be more visually pleasing, added more spots, flattened the bottom more, added the blush, and adjusted the face placement. Sometimes the changes are minor, but they really do add up and make a huge difference! I'm seriously SO excited for those of you who are getting plushies to see and squish this adorable mushroom in person :) It's going to be worth the wait! 

That's right :) Because of the overwhelming support you've all poured into this campaign, I'm adding in a bonus free mini pin design as a special thank-you for making Shroomie Shoppe and all its fungi goodies real! But first, I need your help once again narrowing down a design. Which of these do you like best for a mini enamel pin?



👇 Cast your vote below! 👇

❓ How to get the new mini pin: just be a backer! When you pledge to this project at ANY pledge tier, the winning design for our freebie pin will automatically be added to your cart during the post-campaign survey 🙌💖 And that's it! I hope you enjoy this special little thank you gift, because this project really has been a blast, and I'm thrilled to end it strong with all of you.



With only a few days left of the live campaign, now's the BEST time to jump in and finalize your pledges! Especially with an adorable new freebie pin on the table ;) Don't forget too, if you back both my project, and my campaign partner's project Critters Collective, you'll also get an additional freebie pin from each of us!



Mindy has an adorable bonus freebie pin that she added to her project as well, so be sure to check it out—you can definitely rack up a lot of cute rewards between our two campaigns alone, not to mention the rest of the free goodies you can collect by backing even more Pintopia projects! 🥰

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart. Talk to you soon, fungi friends!

Hey everyone! Can you belileve there's only 1 week left of Pintopia now?! We're officially in the final stretch, which means if you haven't backed yet but have your eye on something, now's the time to jump in before the project timer runs out 👀👍

As per numerous suggestions (thank you!), I'm thrilled to announce an incredibly shiny new item to the campaign that's officially available now: Holographic Sticker Sheets! Woohooo!!



Each sheet is 5 x 7 inches (same as my previous sticker sheets), and is also made of the same incredibly thick, glossy vinyl with deliciously dazzling holographic. The two new sticker sheets collectively feature all 18 enamel pin designs from this campaign (including my collab design with MindyTheTurtle)! I hope you guys enjoy these new goodies and have fun collecting all of the Shroomie stickers from both campaigns now 🥰

Tip: if you need a good place to store / collect them all, my Shroomie-themed reusable sticker book is a fantastic vault for all your shiny new shroom friends ;)

Everything mentioned is available now in the campaign's Add-Ons! 👈

❓ Are you a sticker collector? If so, where do you like to place them? I'm always looking for more ideas on what to do with all my stickers, and would love to know how you use yours 😄

Talk to you soon fungi friends! And THANK YOU again for making this campaign happen well beyond my wildest dreams. 

That's right! Thanks to all of your amazing input and voting, our new mini mushie friend is finally complete and officially available to adopt in the campaign Add-Ons!! Go go go get your new fungi friend 🙌🍄



And just like with the main (large) Shroomie Plushie, this little fungi will also come with a FREE matching holographic sticker :) I'm so unbelievable excited to have this adorable new squisher in our ever-growing Shroomie collection, and can't thank each of you enough for supporting the campaign and making new bonus merch like this possible. I will also be asking my manu if it's possible to add a tiny loop at the top just in case any one wants to add their own keychain to the plushie. What do you think? Or would you still prefer no loop at all?

✨ New Shroomies are still coming soon too! I'm taking in all of your suggestions in the comments and will be revealing some new designs / merch throughout the remainder of Pintopia, so be sure to stay tuned :)

Until then, continue on being WONDERFUL, and of course, stay shroomy! 🍄💖

Hey there!

What a blast it's been designing a new mini mushroom plushie with you all! 😁✨ I hope you guys enjoyed the polls as much as I did. While these two colorways have been fighting SO CLOSE for dominance since the very beginning, we finally have a clear winner! Please join me in welcoming our very first Mini Shroomie Plushie to the collection, joining alongside our main big blue fungi 👏👏👏



I'll be working with my manufacturer right away to get the initial plush sample going — but first I need your help with one more potential detail! I know I've discussed this with a few of you in the comments already, but figured everyone should still get to vote. Should this mini Shroomie plush be a keychain, or just a little handheld plush ball?



Let me know your preference :) After this poll concludes, our new mini mushroom friend will officially be added to the campaign as an add-on that you can snag from any pledge tier!

Thank you SO much to everyone who's participated thus far and helped finalize this design. It truly makes the creative process infinitely more fun for me to have all your input, and extra special knowing we narrowed down and picked design details together 🥰

❓ What would you like to see next in this campaign? I'm still researching and pricing some of the product suggestions y'all gave from previous comments (and feel free to still suggest more)! Top / most likely ideas are currently:
- new enamel pin designs
- more mini plushies
- holographic sticker sheets of the pin designs

Until next update, vote below on the new Mini Plushie, and stay shroomy! 💪🍄
