SPOILED!!

2008-11-27T13:41:00.000-08:00

Morag has really spoiled me...
LOVELY!!!

The little cute owl arrived with yarn in silver and blue, needles, the size I needed, a small slipper for my keys, candy, jam, a knitting bobbin set and a kettlewarmer... I think it is called a kettlewarmer... I put it on my coffee pan and it looks really cute... it isn't something that is usually used here in Sweden but it is really nice...

I couldn't be happier...

Thanks again...

And one more thing...

SOAR RAVENCLAW!!!!!

Peace Out

Nemo is on the way...

2008-11-18T07:39:00.000-08:00

After finnishing Harry Potter and the Half-blood prince I finally could persuade my Owl Nemo to fly to London with the package to Anna Meriweather...
Hopefully he will not get lost but fly as fast as he can and spoile her...
And I hope she like some of the stuff I packed for her...

Peace Out!

Me and J were standing chatting with some friends of his and two peoples carrying a big fucking snake went past us... I thought I would faint... It was really scary, you know when I'm allergic to snakes and all...

And the strangest thing was that people went and asked questions about the snake... but me and J went away... you know, don't want to be sick and all... ;)

Finnished the first thing for my spoilee today... and I am really satisfied with the results and I would like to post pictures... but I can't.. because what will happen if Anna sees them?

The clock is now 23:37 and I'm reeeeally tired...
I should go to sleep but it is sooo much to do...
I've moved into my dorm room that I share with Wisteria, Minerva and Chrysta... and carrying all that stuff and trying to fit into the closet wasn't easy...
But lovely little Vinga (our house-elf... will call her Vinga until further notice) came and helped me... I really love that little elf... she allways helps me to keep my stuff organized...

I attended the feast tonight... or in the afternoon over seas... it was really nice and a lot of people... a lot of them seems to be at least second years... but it's nice anyway...

Since I left the party... and was heading to bed... I've been looking around for stuff to my Spoilee... It's a lot out there and I have to plan and fix so the package will be ready to be sent soon... Have to buy stuff, create the thing she will get and then wrap it and send it... I love it!!!

I'm so excited to see if she likes what I will send her... And if I like what my spoiler send me...
Maybe I can use Vinga for a agent 007 assignment and spy on my "monster cuddler"...
We will see what will happens...

Peace Out!
