Exqusite Ink: Color Edition 2.0 - BackerKit Surveys Underway

Surveys were sent out last weekend and are underway! We have 18 surveys left to be completed before materials can be ordered. If you missed the e-mail you can head over to https://exquisiteink.backerkit.com/ to complete your survey. We should be able to order materials this week and start working on rewards first thing in November!

Quick Update on Surveys
over 4 years ago – Thu, Oct 10, 2019 at 09:04:31 PM

I apologize for the delay getting surveys out. Originally we had a bit of a technical glitch on BackerKit that did not allow us to have all the options necessary for each reward (more to come on that). Over the past week, we've had a few things come up that have taken up much of our energy and focus. 

We had a death in the family this week of a much loved grandfather, a slight plumbing emergency, and a writing assignment that doesn't seem to end.

That being said, surveys will go out this weekend and you will have plenty of time to complete them. Thanks for your patience!
