This was my first exchange that I awaited eagerly and impatiently. I checked everyday to see if my gifter had posted sent yet,..and when it had, I think checked my mail everyday in excitement.

Finally, it arrived while I was at work. I called my husband who was at home and made him shake it for me. Reluctantly he did but alas it made no noise.

I rushed home after work, threw down my papers and sat down at the dining room table. I gleefully tore the tape from the box and looked inside..

And then I laughed with brief pauses of silence. It worried my husband. He asked what I got and I replied...

I got a dead cat.

He had a horrified expression until I explain it was beautifully handcrafted crochet'd cat with its head hanging on by tendons. He gave me the weirdest look ever but I loved it! It made for a perfect Spooky Halloween present.

I gave it a home on the fireplace next to the tv to be present for our Halloween Celebrations.

Thank you PinkOctillery!! :)
