Ladies' Choice Harry Potter Dance

BYU threw 4 Preference dances this weekend.  Because of how fun it had turned out last year, I decided I wanted to go again.  I invited my ex-home teacher, Spencer.

I recruited my roommate, Laura, and neighbor, Alyse, to help me with the invite.  We spend a while having fun experimenting and playing with wax to make the seals on the back of the envelopes.

Here are the plethora of letters addressed to him,


and all of the fun seals on the back.


The delivery owl- isn't he cute??



And the answer: "YES!!!"



At the dance with Professor Quirrell...


and He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!  
(I think he won best costume, it was pretty awesome)



House elves and their awesome ears!



Muggles :) haha



This is pretty funny.  We spent a lot of the night trying to figure out what some of the costumes were, and this was one of them.  They just had broccoli taped to the top of their hats.  We were stumped.
Then we saw them screaming at people for pictures, and realized they were mandrakes!  hahaha
So, I had to get a picture with them.
Clever, very clever.
Here we are trying not to be killed by their screams.



There was a photo booth which was pretty awesome.
They gave us each a printout of the pictures, too.
Sweet!



Overall, it was a great night and I had a lot of fun!   And I'm glad that I got to indulge my Harry Potter obsession for one night.  :)

Cristi's Creations Bracelet Giveaway

The chick who runs the blog where I get my awesome free backgrounds is a cute (probably LDS) lady who is starting up a new business selling bracelets made from recycled sweaters.  She wants to get feedback on her designs so far, so she's doing a drawing for a free bracelet.

Check it out!   Cristi's Creations 

Leave a comment saying which bracelet you like the best for one entry into the drawing. And if  you put a plug for the contest on your blog (like so), you get a second entry.  :)

While you're there, you could check out her adorable free backgrounds, too.

"Bishop" Cosby and DDR

This is a video of my favorite Humor U comedian from the night we saw him.

He's the second performer on the clip, about 1/3 of the way in.

Believe me, it's worth a watch.
