Oh no! Harry Potter has lost his glasses, and can't find his way to Hunter's birthday party at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Confused... you won't be after you read this.
The destination for cards this week is Hunter Renz, who turns twelve on December 1st. Hunter's Mom recently passed away, and we're hoping that a mailbox full of Harry Potter cards will help to make his birthday a little bit happier.
I found the Dumbledore image online, along with a Harry Potter logo that I altered into Hunter's initials. I had picked up the eyeglasses stamp a few weeks ago in a dollar bin, thinking it would come in handy someday. Drew the scarf and eyeglasses around the cutout circles.
Edited to add (or maybe I should say subtract): After a night's sleep, I realized there were too many candles on Hunter's cake, so I snuck my scissors in between the pop dots and removed three of them. Didn't even burn my fingers or smear the frosting... LOL

Ooh! OOH! Ooh! Genius you are! I never even though about how close Hunter and Harry's initials are! You are so very cleaver! This rocks! I love that big ole cake with all the candles and I am sure the wizard will keep them lit for the whole party! This rocks Hilda girl, what fun this will be for Hunter to receive in the mail! I am tickled that you got to use your eye glasses stamp so soon....I buy the perfect stamps from time to time and then can't find them when I need them...you did good! Whoot!

I can't believe that both you and Anne had a glasses stamp!! Great altering of the initials to suit Hunter, and I'm so glad you didn't burn your fingers making Hunter the right age!
