Why did someone bump a thread that was almost a year old?

Or better yet, tell her that she can take a pic and make something with it. Why on earth would OP do that?

I just say No.

For more context, she is the friend in our group that is always doing things for others. She is a type an organizer. She hosts gatherings. She organized my baby shower. And she has given me tons of baby hand me downs.

She gave you her old used unneeded crap do you have to give her a valuable, special, one of a kind PRESENT from your husband that you DISPLAY in your home?
Stay the heck away from her OP! And make it very clear that you are not going to will it to her. Do NOT give it to her. It is your job to retrain your brain so that whenever you look at this poster, you think of the sacrifice your husband made and how he took the time to get you this gift back when you guys are starting out. You heard him.

Had a similar experience infact experiences to be precise, of a person who i once called a 'Friend'. She desperately wanted the saree (Indian drape) that i wore for my 25th wedding anniversary. Believe it or not , At every phone call and at our coffee catchups she would mention that saree and that she wanted it. If she had a wedding to attend she would attempt to ask me for it. Sarees are in plenty sold in India and overseas and she could easily get one similar or even better, but for some reasons she was obsessed with that one saree . Until one day i told her that i had left it at my mothers place in India during one of my India visits. She would do the same when we went shopping, grab the stuff that i selected off from my hand. I was exactly in the same dilemma you have described ,as you are in . Fortunately something else happened and i was forced to disconnect the friendship. Finally the Universe helped
