HSKS 8 - Summer Camp

Some of you spent a little time with me on Thursday and caught my excitement for the next swap. Yes! Excitement is contagious! Neila, Bevin, and quite a few others have given me incredible encouragement over the last few weeks.

During the morning tea a few of us began to get excited about the theme for the next HSKS. We've decided to make the next theme a Summer Camp theme. We're still working out what types of kits we'll swap, but the kits will definitely contain items that you would take with you to camp or send with your kids when they go to camp. Our games will be different than the regular Quidditch games and we'll have a full 3 months to complete our awesome packages because the swap is going to run from Monday, June 8th to Saturday, August 29th. Join the excitement!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I am definitely playing catch up! In the last week and a half I've gotten some wonderful pieces of encouragement from some of the students. Unfortunately, my darn camera is not playing nice and my cell's pics tend to be too dark. So, without further ado . . . .

Lydia Figg - Thank you so much for the wonderful ROAK gift! Lydia sent me a lovely set of skull stitch markers! I am a stitch marker hog, so I definitely love's me these stitch markers :) (((((Lydia)))))
