This is your LAST WEEK to shop before I close the shop. I do not have a planned reopening date, nor do I have any other in-person events planned.

I will be sticking around on my account sharing my creativity and more personal things. I have a wedding to plan! 💗 And I need to focus my energy on other things for now.

I truly appreciate the support I’ve gotten for Barely Scary. Again, I will still be here, but if/when I come back with creative things, they will be different.

As much as I love pins, I don’t think they get as much respect as they deserve. Every pin I have made is MY OWN ARTWORK. I do not just buy pre-made designs to resell. I don’t trace artwork. I don’t use AI. Each pin is my drawing, my design, my color choice, my size and color specifications. I’m so glad I have been able to make my ideas into reality, and that others like YOU have enjoyed them.

2024 has been a difficult year with the loss of pets and personal issues. I’m ready for the next chapter— focusing on my future.

I really hope you snag all the pins, stickers, keychains, lanyards, totes, & t-shirts that you want before the shop closes!!

Xoxo,
Traci 💜

Happy Halloween, little batties!! 🦇💕👻🎃 💚👽 What’s your favorite Halloween tradition?

I thought I’d show off my favorite spooky-cute pins today. 🥰 I’m so glad I have been able to create these pins. And I’m even more glad that y’all enjoy them too! 🫶

I’m keeping it low-key this time around. I am simply dressed as a bat. 🦇 What’s your costume this year?

Cactus Cats! These are lesser known cryptids that slice up cacti and come back later in the night to drink the fermented juices. 🌵💜🐱

This kitty’s eyes glow-in-the-dark a pretty teal color. She’s always looking out for you! 👀

Meet miss Jackalope! She’s a little JackaLOAF! 🍞 Charge her up in the sun & you can catch a shine of her eyeball in the darkness. 👀❤️

BACKERS!! Most of your packages have been sent out. I just have a few of the larger orders that need to be sent out in boxes left to go. 🫶

Fun fact, I’m reusing boxes and shipping materials to send them out to reduce waste. ♻️💜 For smaller orders, I use recycled & compostable paper mailers!

October is black cat awareness month! 🐈‍⬛ Common myths about them being "bad luck" or being "evil" leads to an increase in abuse towards black cats around Halloween. 💔

Having grown up with a black cat named Mysti and having Coal (last 2 slides) the last few years, I can say they've been the sweetest and cuddliest cats I've ever known!!

Any online purchases of this pin during October will come with a FREE matching sticker, no code necessary. 💜🐈‍⬛

I made this pin before I adopted Coal, but you know I had to get him a red collar to match. He died of cancer a few months ago at only 2 years old. I had always wanted to take a picture of him with this pin, but I missed my chance. I miss him so much.

SPOTLIGHT on Gothra today… She loves lights and lamps.💡💕

This one has been more popular this season, so I figured I’d share her on the feed again!

Cryptids will be coming SOON! I’m packing up Backerkit orders and then any left over pins will be listed on my website. ❤️
