a care package...

Recently our Aunt has been going through a bit of a tough time, so we sent her a magical care package. We know she loves Harry Potter (as we do), so went with a Hogwarts theme, putting her in Hufflepuff & including a letter from the 'Hogwarts Department of Student Care '.

The package contained:
~ Copy of Honorary Diploma (not pictured)
~ Lucky Hufflepuff House Badge
~ Instant Page Finder
~ Emergency Medicinal Confectionary
~ Clear Lens Rose-tinted Glasses
~ Minerva the Mighty Grey Owl (pocket sized)
~ Replacement Wand (Oak and Phoenix Feather)
~ Infinitely Refillable Mug
~ Bottomless Bag

Kathryn & Amy came up with most of the ideas & they, along with Mum & I, handmade the contents. Each piece was made or decorated by one or more of us - we had lots of fun creating everything.

We tagged and packaged everything up & posted it off to her. It arrived safe & sound....& she loves it :)

Happy Birthday Kathryn!

Yesterday we celebrated Kathryn's 21st birthday with cake (black forest of course), presents, laughter & hugs. She knew what one of her presents was, but we managed to keep the rest a surprise :)

Kathryn is a kind, compassionate, creative, clever, funny, ever-so-slightly-crazy, gorgeous & all around totally awesome human being & wonderful little sister. I have no doubt that in the next few years I will be reading a book with her name on the cover. Love you lots sis!
