Happy early birthday!

Pam's birthday is the 8th

but I won't see her that day so

I let her have her gift early.  She

is a huge Harry Potter fan so I

try to make things for that theme.

Sirius is her favourite character

so.......

 

I was so proud of myself for the

cleverness!  I was going to try

to make the front of the uniform the

students wear, but then I  had this

idea.  The only thing I think would have

been better is for the inside to  say

"have a happy birthday"  like it was

a demand.  Oh well.

 

The potions-of course.  Some of

them settled to the bottom, but a little 

shake and they look fine again.  I burned

the edges around the names which makes

it look old, I think.  It was pretty smelly,

too.  I did it in the garage, of course.

The shelf is made from foam board.

 I've never worked with that before and

it was a challenge.  It's still sits just

a little crooked but she can always find

a cute little shelf I guess.  I just love

the little teeny bottles!  I love miniature

anything.  

 

I had a great time yesterday.  Class was

challenging because it was a strange

concept:  "you choose me"  you would

say yourself first then the other person

using a directional verb.  It is so

confusing.  We would point to someone

and say you...point to ourselves, choose

me.  Not so in sign.   Very confusing.

I don't think I really  have it down.

 

I spent a few hours with Coleen and

then headed to the airport.  I got there 

right after their plane landed, so it

was excellent timing.  We had a 

waiter at Outback that I don't

think had been doing it long or he just

wasn't good, one of the two.  Very slow

and forgetful.  He seemed very

unsure of himself so I think he was

new.  Anyway, I over ate.  They over

ate.  That bloomin' onion was one

of the best onions I've bloomin' ever

had!   It wasn't as greasy as usual.  

I'm glad Outback isn't too close.

It keeps it special for one thing, but

another, I always eat too much.  It's

just so good!!!
