I AM a Harry Potter fan.......a big fan.......and so are all of my grandkids. We have HP movie marathons on rainy Saturdays. So this teapot challenge that de Mudder gave us was near and dear to my heart. If you are familiar with the HP story you will remember that Hagrid came for Harry on his 11th birthday.........Harry had wished himself a happy birthday by drawing a cake in the dust on the floor of the dreary island house that his uncle had rented. Once Harry had escaped with Hagrid,,,Hagrid's present to Harry was a white snowy owl named Hedwig. Red & gold are the colors of the House of Gryffindor that Harry belongs to at Hogwarts School. Hunter Renz is the recepient of all of our cards this week. He is turning 12 and is a huge HP fan. Hunter will recognize the significance of the items on this card.
He and his twin brothers lost their mother to cancer and we want him to feel special on this first birthday without her. Check out the story for this week and join us in making his birthday a special one.

Love that you used Gryffindor colors on your card -- and look at Hedwig with a party hat! I too am a big HP fan, as are my children and grandchildren. My daughter just borrowed all my DVDs and is having her own HP marathon!
