I agree-- she definitely didn't exclude me to deliberately hurt me, and I know this is all hard for her. She was a LBS herself many years ago.
But I guess I wonder if having a R with someone (even a STBXMIL) requires being able to tell them how you feel?
I do like your advice. Send her some pics and make my own book too. I'm still debating whether to tell her that I'm sure this is hard for her too, But that my feelings were definitely hurt last year. ..
