I believe that I have waited quite patiently for almost twenty years and to this day I still wait patiently for the owl post to arrive in the morning. However, after all these years and having still yet to receive my Hogwarts letter I am coming to the conclusion that perhaps I am just a mere Muggle (a thought that does not sit well with me) and that the magic of Harry Potter only exists in the pages of books (horrifying, I know). This lack of written correspondence has greatly affected me ...

Last time I showed you how to make your school books and your pencil case original, but what do you do when it comes to naming them? Name stickers are great, but they usually fall off and are definitely not as funky as these ones that I will show you

There comes the time of year when the school holidays are still in swing, but we have to start thinking about the new school year. It might seem weird, but it’s a really good feeling to have sharp pencils and non-graffitied pencil cases (that are actually white!)

I also find that when buying my school stuff, I want it to be original and different from the rest of my class (I mean come on, who’s accidentally swapped pencils with someone because they look the same?). Even if I have n...

Start the night before the party. Take a bunch of old T-shirts from your wardrobe (or your Dad's), enough for each player. Use old shirts, because sometimes they can rip.

Soak the shirts in water and wring out. You don't want too much excess water or the game will take over an hour as the shirts will stay frozen.

Flatten out the shirts and fold each one neatly into as small a square as you can. Press down to squeeze out even more water. Place each T-shirt in a freezer bag.<...>
