Harry Potter for our Kids Swap Gallery!

[kahluakiggy]

It's perfect!  I'll try to get pics tomorrow - hopefully it will be sunny and not me-in-the-car-all-day.    Why am I called a "stay-at-home-mom" again?  Oy...  lol

We've received from zenochka!  Hurray!  My kids are SO happy.  I've got pics....

Gareth with the cutest Dobby ever!


Elena and her super cool new bulletin board! It goes perfectly with her HP room!


Mini-monsterbook - how cute is that???


Elena's new best friend!  A purple Pygmy Puff (she loves furry & purple!  PERFECT!!!)...  She's also wearing a gorgeous new Hogwarts necklace in Gryffindor colors.  She loves it, too!



Weasley's Wizard Wheezes Tee for Gareth - he LOVES it.  Fred & George are two of hisfavorite characters and he's a t-shirt maniac!


Elena's mini-Monster Book of Monsters... which keeps trying to eat Dobby, much to Gareth's chagrin!


Gareth's unbelievably cool new Potions notebook & quill, both of which he's started writing potions in.  Thank goodness I had some ink!


Last but not least, a very bad picture (sorry about the glare!) of cool ornaments that William helped make, according to our letter.   Left is Elena's of Harry and right is Gareth's of Sirius.


And a couple of pictures of Gareth using the Potions notebook...

Thanks again to zenochka!  Your crafts are just awesome and my kids are having a blast with everything!

No worries!  I have quite a few bottles from this ink art I used to do.  It was very Jackson Pollack+Rorschach....  Fun and stress-relieving, but not something I can do with 2 kids and 4 cats running around the house!

They love everything so much!  Thank you again.

Everything looks great! I love the mini monster books, I've been meaning to make one for my son for his sketch book.

Super cool stuff I really like the bulletin board! The monster books are cool too, I never even thought of making a mini version. Too cute everything!

OK so call me impatient but since kahluakiggy has received her items I figured that i would put up the picts of what i sent her...
This is the scarf that I made her son (my first knitting project so be kind) modeled by my lil man.

We also made a composition book

Here is the inside cover
I forgot how hard it is to get the burning just right around words and that (they must not put all the good stuff in paper like they used to. It seemed to burn slower when I was a kid)

And we also made a poiton for him. This one is of the one we made my son when we were doing trial and error (exactly the same though but obviously we sent it without the liquid ingredients...besid es the foaming is the fun part right?) You cant realy tell in the pict but there is gliter and stuff that swirls around when you pick it up to use it and that.


We had lots of fun crafting. I wish that we had more time on this end do do more...I still have tons of ideas...darn domestic duties

I still want to see your picts of your son in the scarf kahluakiggy.

I'm so sorry, Jenefor!  I thought I'd already done this!



Nick modelling the scarf with Harry Potter hair as well - see it going all over the place!  lol


And here's everything together - my flash kind of ate up the pics of the potion and the notebook, I'm glad you got good pics.  Thanks so much, he loves everything!!!

Everything looks fantastic! I wish I had the patience to knitt such a long, thick scarf, maybe while I'm on vacation.
The potion bottle looks cool!

[zenochka]

that scarf is awesome!! I must learn to knit just so I can make me a gryffindor scarf!
