Edit: WOW! Gmapam you really outdid yourself! Sorry about the delay getting it posted - I wanted to take pictures with my GOOD camera, to do it justice!

Yesterday I got a box in the mail that I had been highly anticipating, my hand-made mystery gift from my Dr. Seuss Santa for my newborn daughter. How apropos that it came on her 1 month birthday ;) When I opened the package, my mind was blown!

I wasn't expecting anything like this! Inside was a stunning Lorax quilt (my favorite) customized JUST for my daughter - The tag was a great touch!! I don't feel like words can do it justice, so please do look through the images!

I'm completely blown away, Gmapam, you're amazing! This is by far and away the best baby blanket I've received, absolutely my favorite. I think it will be my daughter's favorite, too - She will definitely be wrapped up in it, safe and warm, with her thumb in her mouth. I have no doubt of that!

This poem was included in the message Gmapam sent me with the quilt - I wish I could get captions to work on the pictures...

It's Your Quilt

It's OK if you sit on your quilt

It's OK if your bottle gets spilt

If you swallow some air

and you burp, don't despair,

it's OK if you spit on your quilt.

There are scraps old and new in your quilt,

Put together for you on your quilt.

If your gums feel numb

'Cause your teeth haven't come}

It's OK if you chew on your quilt.

We expect you to lie on your quilt,

if you hurt you may cry on your quilt.

On a cold rainy night,

Don't you fret, you're alright,

You'll be snug, warm, and dry on your quilt.

Thank you SO MUCH Gmapam! This is my very favorite Reddit Gift to date! I'm blown away by the time you spent and the kindness that went into this! My daughter will get years of use out of this! Check your email, I'm sending you some baby pictures! ;)

I told my Dr. Seuss Santa that I loved the Lorax - and she sent me a great Lorax giant puzzle! Perfect in the future with my brand new newborn daughter!

She also messaged me and told me she was making me something hand-made - I'm SO excited!! I can't wait to update this when it comes!
