My gifter hinted early on that my gift would be Game of Thrones related, so I was pretty psyched. Then they told.me the gift would be handmade and one one of a kind... Come on, did they really think this much suspense was healthy for just one person??? Apparently so, and I did my best to be patient (ok, I checked the tracking like 795,183,174,184 times a day, but who's counting?).

My package finally arrived yesterday and boy was my mailman surprised to see me camped out by the mailbox! (ok, I'm joking... It was hot in NY... I was watching from the window). Inside I was greeted by a lovely letter and two of the most amazing gifts! First, a handmade Game of Thrones pillow case! I love it and can't wait to begin using it! Next came a handmade GoT wall hanging, featuring a complete map of Westeros and house sigils! It is absolutely amazing. I am hanging it in my living room this week and I can't wait to show it off. Honestly, I'm always excited about the exchanges, but knowing that so much personal time went into thinking this up and making it for me means so much, and this is one of my very favorite gifts!

Also, I love that you signed and noted the back of it... It will always be people like you, Grandma Pam, that make these exchanges so wonderful! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Oh, and I missed sign up for the GoT exchange, so I'm even more excited about receiving a GoT related gift for arbitrary day!
