There are several reasons for this and I won't delve into them completely but quite a few things that we had hoped and planned to happen, didn't work out and during that time myself and my family were plagued with quite a bit of uncertainty and indecision and faced many challenges and hard choices. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;To those of you who were our first customers, a very sincere thank you for giving us a chance to create something special for you. I hope that you are genuinely pleased with your items and if you are not I welcome your candid feedback and constructive criticism (unless it's on turn-around time since I'm well aware of my short falls in that area.) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;To those of you who unfortunately experienced delays, communication problems, etc due to the problems mentioned above - I can only offer my sincerest apologies which really doesn't feel like enough. I've made efforts to compensate for these delays and I will be contacting each one of you again personally. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I will tell you all that I have learned from my mistakes. The &lt;a href="http://www.lullabiesandmudpies.com/"&gt;Lullabies and Mudpies&lt;/a&gt; event in Pace was the first event of that kind that I have participated in with Tulip Soup and I set unrealistic expectations for myself and passed those along to my customers creating quite a bit of disappointment - disappointment with myself most of all. Again, I'm sorry for this.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;I publicly apologize to Carla, Holli, and Dawn for the problems. I know that my actions do not reflect well on the Lullabies and Mudpies event and I'm very sorry for that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Georgia,&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1511358943909246435-6055955260400439047?l=tulipsoup.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tulipsoup.blogspot.com/feeds/6055955260400439047/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://tulipsoup.blogspot.com/2010/04/tulip-soup-lessons-learned.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1511358943909246435/posts/default/6055955260400439047'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1511358943909246435/posts/default/6055955260400439047'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tulipsoup.blogspot.com/2010/04/tulip-soup-lessons-learned.html' title='Tulip Soup - Lessons Learned'/><author><name>Brooke</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03772470038646356256</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZZgbeTS1O6c/Sy-DqyOOZLI/AAAAAAAAAAM/smVptkpKL54/S220/0012.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
