Off on another adventure!

Well, fellow students! I know that there was much halabalou over the assumed romance between me and Professor Black. I'll have you all know that behind everyone's back the actual romance was between myself and Sir Hevling Von Humperdink!

The break over this last two weeks allowed us to spend a little more dedicated time with each other. We've decided to wed! I know, I can hardly believe it myself. My new husband has family in the States and I've accepted a position at the Salem Witches' Institute.

It was fun being here and teaching at my old stumping ground and I enjoyed you all immensely! Headmistress Wartbobble, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see Hogwarts once again in it's wonderful glory!

Snotch Hunting

Some say they are no good at it while others proclaim to be the champs. Well, if you've found yourself here than I would say that you are rather cleaver. So, besides find the Snitch I will feed you another little tidbit *GRIN*

I, Miss Mandy Finch-Fletchley, am the same person as the author of the next site that you will visit in your hunt for the Snitch. If you didn't know already then I'd say that you are in for a surprise.

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men

Please, please forgive me for not posting this week! I put my nose to the grind and the next thing I know it's Saturday again!! I know there are really only 4 weeks left of this swap, so I will try my level best to give more back to the swap and to my house especially. Alright, with that said I'm off to finish my pals bag. I had to set it aside to take care of other knitterly things last month, but it shouldn't take me too long to finish. Ciao!! I'll leave you with a Sims trailer for The Goblet of Fire.

Lesson Catch-up

I've been far too busy with life!!! My lesson plans have definitely suffered, but not to worry! I've spoken with the headmistress and none of your grades will suffer because of my lack of teaching. I'm even to understand that some of your Enchanted Kits have already been put in the mail. Good, good! Way to go, you eager students!! I'm am sure there are also quite a few of you that are still in the process of putting your kit together - I know I am! So, here is a little lesson catching up:

Stitch Markers -

Tutorial #1

Tutorial #2

Needles -

Ebay - FlyingWhale Seller

Ebay - Gate2Asia Seller

Something Magical -

One of my favorite shops is Allivan's. They carry an assortment of wands, wizard staffs, robes, candy and more! They ship quickly and their items are always first rate. If you want to totally throw your budget out the window you can always purchase a potions stand!



The other place that I'm partial to is Whimsical Alley. They have the little extras at a reasonable cost and do not have a purchasing minimum! It's great. Plus, don't forget - you can purchase a little House patch to add to the bag the you are making.

With sudden alarm I realized that I had not posted this week! Please forgive me. As soon as I remembered I rushed in here to leave a note. Unfortunately, I never did get to my lesson on stitch markers. I'll have to do double duty next week for sure, as well as answering the Quidditch questions. Oh, well. That's what I get for getting so distracted.
