I gave it to her at Christmas and she didn't respond either and I felt that maybe it wasn't good enough for her or who knows why else she wasn't as nearly as excited it receive it as I was to make and give it. A couple weeks later, she came to visit with a personal thank you. She said that when she opened it she was just speechless . She couldn't believe someone could make her such a beautiful gift that required so much of my time and money just for her ! She had tears in her eyes. It was definitely all worth it !!!
I have the same opinion. Some time when things are all against you and some nice gives you a gift from the heart, it is really hard then and there to say how you feel. Just when you least expect it I am sure your friend will come and say thank you. Maybe not for a while but she will.
