Hootie has left for Clara Clovenhoof of Slytherin.

I was spoiled by Minerva Wood....



Everything in the package is great! This was truly a great package.









I can't express enough gratitude to Minerva for being the most excellent swapper.

Ladies and Gents!
The end of the week marks the last week that we will drop anyone from the swap for non-participation or no contact. If you have not blogged two weeks prior to this week you will be receiving an email notifying you that you have been dropped from the swap.

If your spoilee has not blogged two weeks prior to this week, please do not send their package!!! We will be notifying you no later than this Thursday who you will be mailing your package to, so that if you wanted to send your package off before the early bonus deadline you could still do that.

IF you will be receiving a package from your spoilers spoiler, please understand that the kit you receive might not be in your house colors.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me via email or your head girl. Thank you!!

Head over to my blog and take a look at the awesome.

HSKS7 is unfortunately coming to an end. This term has been, without a doubt, the best yet at Hogwarts. I hope everyone has had fun and will be coming back for HSKS8 (rumor has it there will be another term - yay!).

I'd like to remind everyone of the continuing need for contributions to angel kits. Of course, we aren't anticipating actually needing angel kits, right? Right?

If you are able to help out with items for angel kits, I would appreciate receiving your contributions by the end of April. We are in need of all of the elements of an swap kit plus other fun goodies. A suggestion was made that a yarn and pattern could be substituted for an actual knit item. Please PM or email me for the address where to send the items, or if you have any questions about what is still needed. All contributions will be appreciated, particularly by those who will receive them.

Hello, students!

Early Bonus Deadline
I'm excited to see the wonderful kits that have been flying through the air! I just wanted to write this little note to remind you all that the bonus for sending your kit early expires on Friday, April 17th. Kits must be in the mail with the Delivery Confirmation emailed to your Head Girl and Bevin in order to receive the 50 pt. bonus for your House. ALSO, if you would like your kit to be included in the Best Kit contest you MUST take a picture of the kit yourself and email that to Bevin. She'll keep the photo safe until your pal receives it, so there will be no spoilers.

Almost to the End!
This swap is nearing it's end! Only Three more weeks before ALL kits must be mailed. If you are ordering items to go in the kit, I beg of you!!!!!!! PLEASE do not wait until April 24th to order your items. I can almost guarantee that your spoilee will NOT receive his or her kit on time and you will be in jeopardy of not being allowed to swap with us again. You MUST have your kit in the mail by May 1st. If you suspect that you will not be able to meet that deadline you MUST email your Head Girl immediately.

Come check out the fantastic Package that Elanor Cadagon of HUfflepuff put together for me!!
