Unappreciated Handmade Gifts
I'm pretty sure that this is a dead horse kind of topic, but here it goes. I have become quite discouraged with the degree of gifts that I have made for my kids that has been rejected by my kids. I have made musical instruments, game boards, fancy end grain cutting boards, five panel paintings and litterally the only item that has gotten one iota of use is an end grain cutting board for my daughter. I am just blown away at how these items have been lost, broken from careless tossing aside, sold by my ex. Something tells me that this just kinda goes with the territory of woodworking gift making but it is still just pure and pathetically disrespectful in my mind. I don't think that I am out of line here but I'm sure that I'm missing something important but just not sure we that it is.
Merry Christmas everyone!
