I would cherish this gift! Years ago a dear friend asked me what I would really like for my birthday. My birthday is between Christmas and New Years....I know everyone's finances are tight. I told her I'd love a few of her family recipes. I treasure them! I know many family members and these recipes are like old friends. Sorry about your experience..

I'm so happy you rec'd an acknowledgement of your gift. I know much love went into it. And SO happy you're making one for yourself!

Then she looked inside for a second and then set it aside. Now they are stationed in California and the shower was here in Nebraska, she didnt get alot of gifts but gifts cards. So it wasnt like she had to keep moving with opening gifts.

Anyway my feelings are a little hurt. She didnt even bother to show it to anyone. Maybe when she gets settled she will appreciate more. heavy sigh

My first reaction was that she just didn't want to pass it around and have everyones fingerprints on it, or have them get the cards mixed up or out of order. Or, if she did have a little trouble with the lid she didn't want to take a chance that someone might actually break the clasp on it.

I guess I would give her gift cards from now on, lol.
