(Another) update regarding Instagram + Christmas order form drop (Nov 1st)😊

Unfortunately, I am still trying so hard to get in contact with an actual person at Meta who can help me get my Instagram account back up and running. I'm praying that someone will be able to help because that account means SO much to me

Many know, I work primarily from social media with no website, or third party apps meaning so many parts of my business is over there including with the love, support, friendships and our wonderful pet community. It's been extremely difficult not being able to let everyone over there know what's happening or even communicate with you all!! It may sound dramatic but that page has become such a huge part of my everyday life and business throughout the years building Milas Painted Paws.

🎄🎅As many of you know, November 1st is the launch of my Christmas order form. I will absolutely still be sharing the order form on here, so please don't worry, you won't miss out, and if you have friends that follow please let them know it can be accessed here!

If things aren't resolved by that point, I may have no choice but to create a brand new Instagram account and start all over again which is breaking my heart to even think about

As many of you know, it's just me behind the screen. One person painting your furbabies and bringing your memories to life, while also managing every other part of this little business. The thought of having to rebuild everything that’s on that platform from scratch is overwhelming

It's not just about losing an account that’s driving me crazy It's the community, the support, the connections and all the lovely people I've met along the way. Then there's the worry of trying to reach all my previous followers and making sure everyone knows that a new account is genuinely me and not a scam page. I have so many worries running through my head, and I honestly never imagined I'd find myself in this position.

For now, I'm continuing to try every possible avenue to get my original account back, and I'm praying that someone at Meta will finally be able to help!

Thank you so much to everyone who has continued to support me, share my posts, check in and send messages! Fingers crossed we can get our Instagram back soon🐶🐾

📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR MY CLIENTS! ❤️

I’m not sure if everyone saw my last update about my phone issues, but unfortunately, my phone has been messed up all weekend. I took it in today to get it fixed, and ended up wiping my ENTIRE phone!

I’m now having an extremely difficult time getting back into my Instagram account, and unfortunately, I’m currently locked out. I’ve been trying everything I can to regain access, but as many of you may know, getting help from Meta/Instagram customer support is nearly impossible😭

For now, PLEASE contact me here on Facebook if you need anything or have any questions! I’m doing everything I can to get my account back up and running as soon as possible.

On top of everything, all of my text messages were wiped as well! Thankfully, I had a lot of your phone numbers saved on my laptop, so I’ll be reaching back out to everyone individually who has placed an order with me to make sure we’re all still on the same page. ❤️

I sincerely apologize for any delays, confusion, or inconvenience this may cause. Please know I’m doing my best to get everything sorted out and make sure none of my clients are left hanging!

Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support! It truly means so much to me, especially during a stressful situation like this!

Please feel free to message me directly here on Facebook if you need to reach me❤️🙏🏼

A little update! 🤎

Due to an influx of orders, I’ll be temporarily pausing orders for the remainder of October to catch up on everything!

Orders will reopen November 1st just in time for Christmas! 🎄 If you’re planning on ordering gifts, I highly recommend ordering early, as I may need to implement a holiday order cutoff this year to ensure everything is completed in time.

Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support. It truly means the world to me! 🐾🤍

🐾Portraits For Pitties! 🤎

I’m so excited to be partnering with Chi-Town Pitties, Inc. for a fundraiser through Mila’s Painted Paws! 🎨

When you order a custom pet portrait of your dog or cat and mention Chi-Town Pitties, a portion of your order will be donated back to help support the rescue and the animals in their care🐶

You get a one-of-a-kind portrait of your best friend while helping animals who need it, too. One of my favorite parts of what I do is being able to give back through my art, and I’m so happy to be doing that with Chi-Town Pitties! 🤎

If you’ve been thinking about getting your pet painted, this is the perfect time!

Thank you for supporting my small business and helping me give back. Every portrait makes a difference! 🐾
