I'll have to agree it is very sad and heart-breaking to receive a negative response to something that you have struggled over, and done your best, Even though I have never received a negative response from this board, when I first joined the guild I am in now, we had a white elephant gift exchange, no one knew who made the gifts, my gift was picked by a lady that was a long-armer, and she said "I don't want this. it's awful", boy did I get my feelings hurt, I was so proud of it when I brought it in, I haven't done a gift exchange there since.
