Happy Birthday and Prize

This first week we only have two birthday students!

Happy birthday to:
5 Nov spinayarnforewe
7 Nov mysticknitter71

And we also have a winner picked from October's blog question ("If you have just ONE magical wish for your birthday, what would you wish for?"):

*drumrolls*

THE WINNER IS PSMOMMY!! Here's the winning comment:

“A whole day, no, week to myself. I’m a single mom of an autistic 4 year old. I work all day then come home and take care of my son all night. I love him dearly, but it can be a little bit challenging since he does little by himself, and sometimes has trouble communicating. The only time I have to myself is between 4-7pm on Fridays when his dad takes him. I spend this time mowing the lawn, vacuuming, sewing, and doing other things I can’t do when my son is home because of his sensory issues.”

You win a pattern that you can knit during your Fridays :) Please report to hilltopkatie to claim your prize.

Happy Birthday, first and second weekers!

The Sorting Ceremony's excitement has toned down over the course of a few days, and the flurry of activities following the first day of class has also settled down--if not by much--it is time for yet another celebration, because in Hogwarts we are never short of festivities!

I present to you, students whose birthdays were last week (don't forget to give them a pat, maybe summon some cake for them, or even ask the house-elves to throw a party!):

• 1 September: lavenderblueskies
  
• 3 September: jidawson and Dragonsinger (Prefect)
  

And for the following week (mark these dates so you can treat them to Firewhiskey--except BabyKan, of course):

• 7 September: pacasha
  
• 8 September: autumnleaf77
  
• 9 September: sparksearcher (Head of House)
• 10 September: allymoon and WantsBabies
  
• 11 September: TwistedTava and BabyKan (mother AddyKan is DADA assistant)

Happy Birthday!

And to those who want their share of Butterbeer and/or Firewhiskey but have not yet filled the Birthday form , please do so here.

PS: Students are listed based on their respective house colors: red for Gryffindors, yellow for Hufflepuffs, blue for Ravenclaws, and green for Slytherins.

ETA: apologies to Dragonsinger whom I missed.
