Well well well…long time no see my pandas! Hello! How are all of you?! I am popping on here to tell you all that Kawaii Paper Pandas is being upgraded to Kuma Castle. This change was supposed to happen some time ago but as most of you know I decided to take a break from blogging to pursue other things in my day-to-day life. The KPP URL will soon update to Kuma Castle since I initiated the transfer a couple of days ago. I wanted to make sure you guys had a warning before the KPP named fazed out indefinitely.
We decided on the Kuma Castle name because I wanted it to be a space where all of us could hang out together under one roof. My first name idea was the Panda Pad but I didn’t want to have the brand be all about pandas. I wanted it to be about all types of bears. So if you wanted to be a brown bear, a grizzly bear, a polar bear, or a panda bear you could! My personal selection was a red panda even though red pandas aren’t actually bears XD
So yeah! KPP is getting a much-needed update and I will probably change the website designs at some point as well. I also wanted to write this post to let you all know I’ve jumped into the world of anime enamel pin making! My first pin was launched on October 1st and is available to purchase if you would like to support me in my small business venture. The first pin I created was Faye from Cowboy Bebop! I figured starting off with a classic anime was the best way to go. Here are some product shots of what Faye looks like:
If you would like your very own Faye pin and you are located in the US or Canada you can purchase her here: https://anibabepins.bigcartel.com/. I’m unfortunately not shipping overseas due to the slow nature of USPS and tax laws in some countries. Any support would be greatly appreciated ❤
Another update I wanted to mention was the upcoming WordPress Anime Awards. The awards are usually held in December but the crew and I decided some time ago that it would be moved to the month of January. That was it gives seasonal shows time to wrap up for the end of the year before voting begins. If we decide to do the awards again it will be in January. Hosting the awards takes a lot of time and effort on my end and I want to be sure I can do it again this year. If anyone would like to be on the judges panel this year feel free to message me on here or on my Twitter at WickedChibiusa.
I think that is it for now! Please comment down below and tell me all the new things going on in your life! I miss blogging and I’m hoping to jump on here from time to time to see what everyone else has been up to recently. I hope all of you are staying happy and healthy ❤
