Newspapers

Some long awaited gifts on their way to Janice and Michelle. As soon as the post office opens on Monday I'll be sending these off. Hope you like them ladies, you are each getting a set like this.

Feels good to finally start getting caught up!

Severus Snape Wand

Remember my crazy and convoluted giveaway? Ewa (The Old Maid) from The Sunny 1:12 Miniatures won and has finally received her package, so now I can show everyone what I made! I didn't want to spoil the surprise for her so I've been waiting patiently XD.

However, in my excitement I only took pictures of the wand before sending it off... forgot to take pictures of the newspapers (Daily Prophets). Maybe Ewa will post some, check out her blog tomorrow and see what she says about it all :).

My husband wanted me to make these more traditional wand boxes so I gave it a try for the giveaway. I am very happy on how it turned out so I will be making many, many more! There are so many colors I can paint the boxes and then all the ribbon styles I can include... I already bought velvet ribbon for the lining and other sheer ribbons for the wraps. I'm thinking of incorporating either labels or some kind of fancy monogramming on the box. But plain looks good too, I think.

What do you all think about my new box? And the Snape wand too of course, I really had a hard time letting go of that one!

Congrats on the win Ewa!!!
