She didn't do what she volunteered to do = she should feel bad about it
She feels bad about it =/= you feeling guilty
One reason decent people feel bad when they fail to do something they should have is so they'll learn from the experience. She has something to learn. You don't (except maybe not to trust her when she says she'll do something, in which case the onus of correction is still on her). The guilt is unwarranted (unless you're going to spend the next six months reproaching her for it, which I don't think you are).
