Humans are unreal at times. And no, some just do not realize (THINK) about the work, time, thought and money spent on making a particular item for someone we love (even just like). I could write a chapter about my MIL and closet where all of my hand make gifts were found, even the memory pillow (velvet pillow with roses make of her son's (my husband's) ties was seen buried under junk. Take heart, you are not alone and you are appreciated by LOTS of people. You are special.
