I have come here today to ask for your forgiveness. I have not been to YT in awhile, I was embarrassed and ashamed that you all will hate me.

When I first started the YT cookbook, I thought it would be a good way to help raise money for YT. YT has been a place to me that means family to me. When I lost Kloey, so many wonderful people from YT pulled together and supported me in more ways then 1. I have had so many ups and down in the few years I have been a YT member and it always seemed like I could come here for support.
So I started the YT cookbook to help raise money for this wonderful site. Little did I know the challenge it would be. When I 1st started taking orders it was for way under the cost of the book. Then we started to get a little more elaborate with the book because I wanted it to be the best cookbook! More photos meant more $$$ and that was eating up our profit. Some of you were kind enough to help make up the difference but others did not. Then I had the cost off all the packaging and all the trips I made to the PO. All the books that went over seas and more and more profit was chewed up.

I was so scared to tell everyone that we had little money for the site so I hid with my tail between my legs. I did not want to let everyone down.

When I last logged on it seemed like everything in my life was a wreck, The tranny in my van took a crap on us and we had to get a new one, then my hubby's work had cut out all there overtime and I was only working a couple days, so we got farther and farther behind on our house payments. We had to draw money out of my hubby's 401K to catch up the house but then we had to use that money to fix our van so that left us farther behind on our house. Thank god we were able to work it out with Chace and we saved our home but they took all the payments that we were behind and tacked them to the back of our loan, so that raised our house payment up. Then I had the stress of my parents who take care of elderly people in there home, the lady she had, died so that left them with no income and they were about to lose there home as well. After 6 months with just my dads income of $190/week the phone rang and they were able to fill one of the rooms. Then to top it all off I had sewing orders that I still needed to fill and I was working one day and I got my machine so jammed that the needle would not go and the knob would not turn so I had to take it into the shop and I have not been able to pick it up yet.

So with all this laying on me I just was so embarrassed to show my face her. I know people wants there orders and I have not been able to make them, they want there money back and I do not have the funds to do that. I don't even have the internet at home anymore. I'm at work now typing this. I had my home phone shut off cause the cost was just to much, soon we will be shuting off our satellite and I have Christmas around the corner that is haunting me. I just don't know how much more I can take.

A friend told me to have faith and that YT is hear for me and I needed to explain my situation. So hear I am now reaching out to you all again.
