[Elena]

Hey fam

Hope you’re doing great and feeling inspired! I want to pop in with a friendly check-in and share a clear, honest update on our “Contribute to Projects | Share the $100,000 Fund Pool!” campaign. Thanks for being such an active part of this journey.

From day one, this project has been about co-creating with our community, not just collecting submissions. Your ideas, creativity, and feedback genuinely shape where we go next. That’s why we’re committed to keeping everything open and transparent, and why we’ll continue sharing regular progress reports like this one, so you always know where things stand.

Milestone #2: Officially Completed!

Great news first：we’ve successfully reached our second major milestone! As of now, the total number of qualified projects has officially passed 700.

This is a huge step forward, and it wouldn’t be possible without the steady contributions, creativity, and care you all put into your projects. Thank you for building this together with us.

A quick reminder: what counts as a “qualified project”?

To make sure your hard work is counted correctly, here’s a quick refresher on the requirements:

• Cover image must be a real photo of a handmade, physical finished project

• Last image must be the finished design image generated from the system canvas, and it should clearly match the physical cover photo

• Project description should be relevant, accurate, and clearly explain the work

Following these rules helps keep things fair,and ensures your project is eligible for milestones and rewards.

Congratulations to our Milestone #2 Winner!

A big round of applause for @DianeB,our second milestone winner! She’s taking home a iEngrave Machine as her reward.

What makes this extra special is that we’ve officially witnessed your growth in the community — truly from 0 to 1. Watching your skills improve and your confidence grow has been inspiring. Thank you, @DianeB , for sharing your creativity and lighting up the community with your contributions

Next up: Milestone #3 — let’s aim higher!

Here’s what we’re working toward next:

• Trigger goal: When the total number of qualified projects exceeds 1 ,100

• Reward:

  • From Project #701 to #1100, we’ll randomly select 1–2 lucky contributors

  • They’ll share $400 in e-gift cards, usable with no minimum spend in our official store

Every qualified project brings us closer and helps unlock more of the $100,000 fund pool for the community.

Friendly tips to boost your chances:

• The more qualified projects you share, the better

• Try creating with designs from our Official Library

• Choose a clear, bright cover photo that fully shows your finished handmade piece

One more exciting update: IdeaStudio has been upgraded and is now officially live! Even better — high-quality projects may be selected for priority placement in our Featured Projects section, giving your work more visibility and love from the community.

Thanks again for being part of this journey with us. Keep creating, keep sharing, and let’s push together toward the next milestone. We’re excited to see what you make next

Today has been a whirlwind, but in the very best way — even with life and tech chaos happening behind the scenes, I’m so glad I took a moment to slow down and catch up on everything happening in the community. And what perfect timing too, because we’ve officially hit a huge achievement in the “Contribute to Projects | Share the $100,000 Fund Pool!” campaign!

Milestone #2 has been successfully completed. We’ve now passed 700 qualified projects! That’s an incredible accomplishment built entirely from your creativity, collaboration, and dedication to sharing our handmade projects. Every photo, every upload, every description we’ve taken time to share truly moves this journey forward. Thanks to everyone for continuing to build, inspire, and grow together here.

And of course… we have to celebrate our Milestone #2 winner! Huge congratulations to @DianeB for being selected and taking home an iEngrave Machine! Watching your progress from your very first steps in the community to where you are now has been such a joy. Your creativity, curiosity, and willingness to learn have truly shined, and this recognition is so well deserved. Way to go!

With Milestone #3 now on the horizon — and even more rewards waiting — I cannot wait to see what you all create next. Keep sharing your qualified projects, keep experimenting, and most importantly, keep having fun with the process. This journey is just getting started, and I’m grateful to be along for the ride with all of you.

Here’s to more making, more milestones, and more moments worth celebrating together!
