I am very close to her and she is respectful of my creations for her.
I have other nieces and nephews about the same age, but they could not even pick up a phone to say thank you for the quilts I have sent to them. So, I ponder but don't make anything for them as yet to send. I guess I need a little reinforcement to feel appreciated for my hard work. Do yo blame me?
I taught my children( how I was taught) that a written thank you had to be sent either in a card or just written on paper and sent. Now that my children are grown
I receive thankyou's via hand written
Or painted hand prints with a drawing...from my Grandchildren!! Love it!
