I think all of us go through times like this. I too was excited to give a pinwheel baby quilt to my husband's niece who lives in France. We never heard, and never heard, if she received it or not,so I emailed her. She replied that she did receive it. Her excuse was that she was so busy that she didn't have time to email a thank you. We also gave her $. Nothing was said about this either. Lesson learned for me. Never will I take the time and money and esp the effort to give something homemade. A store gift certificate will be the gift now on. I would rather give to the needy children in this world than to anyone else who would snub your generosity. I was hurt too.........time heals. Hugs.
