I have spent the last two weeks making my Mum a hand made scrap book all about her relationship with my DS. It turned out really well , I did it in shades of pale blue, cream and brown and I knew my mum would love it. I made a beautiful box to go with it all tied up with a wide ribbon lovely tag and funky fibres. i took it over to my aunts where we were all meeting for dinner. mum opened the box and loved the book as I knew she would BUT she left the box lying in the kitchen and my aunt threw it and the tag into the bin! Scrunched up and everything! She thought Mum was finished with the box! i know she didn't do it deliberately and she was mortified when she realised but I found it so hard to not be angry or disappointed. Mum knew though and she said it was obvious I'd spent a lot of time and effort on it and it was beautiful and my aunt just didn't realise. I guess I'm just disappointed that she didn't realise.
