For everyone wondering about the status of the project, that's a little update written a few days ago in the kickstarter page comments section:
From the ashes, we shall arise. Or in my case, I just woke up in an abandoned parking lot and was just handed the keys to this Kickstarter.
As many have speculated, the original Kickstarter organizer has moved on in short notice, as well as the person who was taking over in the interim. On behalf of everyone who has worked to make this Kickstarter happen, I would like to apologize for our lack of communication and instilling a sense of doubt among our loyal backers.
That said, what I know right now is that Vanilla Essence is currently in printing and is expected to arrive at our doorstep no later than a few weeks from now.
Moving forward, I would like to be as transparent as humanly possible about the current state of Vanilla Essence and the ETA before we can get everything shipped out. I will be picking up where my predecessors had left off and contacting our associated printers and manufacturers to see where we currently stand. Please expect a full update within the coming days as the information rolls in.
