As the holiday season wraps around us and we prepare to step into 2025, I find myself reflecting on how much this little project of ours, the Mini Cannon, has grown since its launch in March 2024. What started as a simple way to merge my passion for miniatures and engineering with a small business idea has turned into something truly special.
First, I need to give a heartfelt shoutout to my two amazing daughters. They’ve been more than just cheerleaders; they’ve been active contributors, brainstorming ideas, testing designs, and pouring their creativity into making this project shine. Honestly, I couldn’t have done this without them.
Another huge thank-you goes out to Mr. Dušan from the Czech Republic, who holds the special title of being our website’s Customer #001. Your trust and support in those early days meant the world to us. Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season and a fantastic New Year!
Now, here’s some exciting news: we’ve recently made improvements to two of our Mini Cannon models. The loading process is now more user-friendly, and we’ve upgraded small but important details, like the screws. The best part? We didn’t raise the price! While a price adjustment might be in the cards in the next few months, for now, we’re thrilled to offer these upgrades without any extra cost.
Looking ahead, I’m filled with hope and ideas. 2024 was an incredible year of learning and creating, and I can’t wait to design even more fun and unique products in 2025. To all of you who’ve supported us along the way—whether you’ve purchased a Mini Cannon, shared our project, or simply cheered us on—thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Here’s to a joyful holiday season, a fresh new year, and plenty of exciting creations to come!
With gratitude,
Apollo, Emma, Cara, Red & Grandpa
