I have been SO SPOILED! Visit my blog to see!

Awsome package from Allitrya Spelling of Ravenclaw Tower! Come drool on my Blog, just remember to clean up after yourself afterwards.
A pic of the awsome bag she made!
The owl came by and placed the box on my back porch for me yesterday. I was so excited about it that I forgot to post.
See what I was sent from Ceciley
These badges are a little late in coming, but none the less well-deserved by our lucky treasure hunters.

Well done, everyone! And thanks for your patience, my clever treasure hunters! See you next term!
But I'm just getting to posting about it! Sorry Bevin!
My amazing kit from Bevin Rae is posted now on my blog.
Angel Kits
This was almost a "Good bye, students!" post, but then I remembered that we're not done with Best Kits yet. So, let's consider this our final wrap up week. Besides Best Kits this week is also a very busy week for the Hogwarts staff. During this week we are trying hard to communicate with everyone who hasn't sent their kit on a regular basis. By the end of this week we will have a final determination of who will need angel kits based on if anyone has flaked out or not.
Those that will be receiving angel kits should have them mailed out to them by the 15th of May. Unfortunately, this term we do not believe that we received as many donations for angel kits and prizes, so another thing that we must determine is what we will be able to give by the end of this week.
For those of you that have made monetary donations and donations of items during this term - Thank you! You are a lifesaver and appreciated by all of Hogwarts.
Prizes
If there are any prizes to be had they will also be determined after the angel kit donations have been given out. I will be creating the image for the Quidditch Champions this week also.
Kits
Please continue to post pictures of your kits as you receive them. We love to look at the fabulous kits so that we can all get ideas for the next time around.
Packing & HSKS 8
So, take your time packing your things and saying good bye until next term. Those of you joining us for Summer Camp, please continue Constant Vigilance! so that you don't miss the sign up. Watch the rav board and the HSKS 8 site for more details.
THANK YOU URSULA LONGBOTTOM!!!
Please do not look if you get jealous, because this kit rocks!! Here is a sneak peak of 1 of the 4 bags I got (oh yeah, you read correctly 4)!! Check out my blog at http://lavenderdiggory.blogspot.com/ for all the great pics!!
Chrysta the Cursed spoiled me rotten. I Love LOVE LOVE my bag... Which is currently full of awesome knitterly goodness!!! Thanks Chrysta!! A Bunch!
Wow! Reading through all the Mad Libs stories has made my stomach ache from laughing so hard! Rather than point out one or two, we've given some highlights and links to all of them! If I've missed yours, please let me know ASAP!! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the hilarity!
(And by the way, this may have been Ravenclaw homework, but you'll see that other houses participated in and added to, the often unexpected, but seriously amusing accounts!!)
Who can forget Fleur Sweeting's tale of Rowena serenading the stitch markers?! Rowena Bladvak however tells the tale differently! Maybe it was the extra cheese on Fleur's hot fudge sundae that caused her to run towards the stitch markers herself!?
Madame Hooch had a run in with a cream-filled hot dog... I saw it myself with my own two eyes! Eeewww, that sounds rather gross to me. At least Patonga Pinkstone and Waverly Trimble enjoyed hot fudge sundaes and stormy socks!!
Emma Gorodok's Diagon Alley adventure with Hermione brought an unexpected new fact out about Slytherin's Head of House, Professor Snape and a certain type of clothing he chooses to wear in his off hours. Megaera Black also witnessed Snape’s unusual clothing choices and is still trying to figure out how Lizzie Wychwood (who has her own wee ones at home) managed to get bitten by a baby with a bean burrito!!
Do you know that Centy B. really really likes Curry flavored ice cream?!! She must really really really love it have walked so far for it! Unusual ice cream tastes must be common in Gryffindor. Penelope of Flitwick likes mustard on her hot fudge sundaes... and toaster cozy patterns too. At least, that's according to Prendolyn the Weirds' tale!
Fresh gossip about the DADA and his drinking habits! I can understand why Professor Solum likes firewhiskey floats after reading Olive Bumblebirch's tale! But did you also know Helena Lovegoods spied Professor Hot Pants (for that is what Fervens Solum means) having a Baybreeze float as well... something about a fat turkey and Solum's underwear I hear...
Rare flora and fauna seem to be in abundance at Gringott's! Casandara Crimsonchin found out about Thalia Tinkywych's rare purple hydrangea bush... and Andromache Tonks solves the Victoria Pettigrew mystery of the adequate kitten... adequate at what I wonder?? Fiera Firenze had fun at the giraffe store and heard about Quinn's frozen custard hit while protecting Antonio's crunchy candy at Gringotts as well... and, I mean really!?! What is it with mother goblins and their food choices for their offspring?! Amethyst Aurag heard all about Buttercup Goblinshimmer Dumbledore's run in with a baby goblin and Pinot Grigio?! So that's how they keep them calm!!
Wisteria Lovegood and Megaera Black (who... ssshh... wears a chastity belt but don't tell her I told you!) had a near collision with a sparkling oyster! They survived, but poor Hexy Elfshimmer had a run in with a tuna-noodle casserole and was photographed with ruined robes. Hexy should have went with Hermione and Olive instead! Hermione's description of chocolate ice cream and butterbeer floats has made me hungry! I can’t believe she missed Professor Flitwick’s lecture on Hippogryphs! I guess, smooth crochet hooks truly are hard to come by!
The Fleurs... Dolohov and Sweeting had excellent fun on their trip to Diagon Alley. After an incident in the mashed potato shoppe, the Fleurs found solace in strawberry ice cream and chocolaty chocolate sundaes. The most impressive trek for sweets has to be Cassie Goode! She walked 555 blocks for it and still managed to make it to Yrsa's Yarn Shoppe to purchase flowing socks.
All the listings for kits have been updated on the Best Kits blog.
Is yours missing? Have you already sent to your spoilee but you do not have a link on the Best Kits blog?
Please email me or post a comment on this blog with a link to your kit.
Thank you!

Rowena Weasley's charming owl dropped a package off for me last week--check out all the goodies on my blog. A million thanks, Rowena!!!
Woo!! Violette Black sent me the most awesome kit! Check it out here at my blog for more pictures!
THANK YOU I LOVE IT ALL!!!
Hello, students!!!
I know that every house has a flurry of activities going on as we all pack and clean our rooms before summer arrives. Though this was a rather rocky term I hope that you all had a fabulous time! This term marked the first time when we scheduled school wide meet ups and judging from the blog postings the meetups went well. I know that it's always nice to put a face to a name.
As we close up the school year, please be extra dilligent in communicating with your Head Girls and letting them know when you will be sending your kits if you have not done so already. Please also remember that Delivery Confirmation is required. We haven't had any lost packages yet this term, but this is the only way for us to make sure that you sent your package. No delivery confirmation and no received package will result in not being allowed to participate in future swaps.
As of right now these are the standings on sent packages per House:
Gryffindor - 63%
Hufflepuff - 65%
Ravenclaw - 76%
Slytherin - 80%
Hufflepuff - 65%
Ravenclaw - 76%
Slytherin - 80%
As some of you are aware - HSKS 8 will be themed Summer Camp and promises to be rather different than our regular terms. There will be no Quidditch (though we may come up with a comparable substitute), no Dueling Club, and there will be no S.P.E.W. There will be meetups for the Half-Blood Prince viewing. There will be ROAK, and there will be one optional swap long competition that includes a traveling box of items. There will also be assigned mixed housing cabin mates. A lower kit minimum and maximum. Other plans are in the works and the HSKS8 blog will be updated as ideas come to fruition.For those of you on Facebook, there is also a link to the Facebook HSKS group. This is just another way for us to communicate and interact in a fun way. The membership is closed, so if you would like to join the group you have to send a request to do so. I believe there should be a link to the right of the page. Let me know if you have problems.
I hope to see many of you at Summer Camp!!
A tired little owl arrived at Wychwood House today, read all about it over here.
I got a great package from Lily of Flitwick earlier this week and this is the first that I have had time to post. There are pictures on my blog. Thanks Lily!
