Monday Mix

Take off your Hat Trick hats, Snakes, so you can listen up for Earburns of Love and Bonus Points!

Not all projects will earn bonus points, and the point-system is shrouded in mystery. But if you put a lot of work into your classes last year, you may soon be getting a call. Those of you us who are controlling the stress via Spreadsheet just love this time of the month, where January's total can be tallied up!

So far, I have only seen Potions up, but the first Granger Brain award goes to Miaparanoia, who aced Potions with a bright, navajo plied, handdyed, handspun sportweight yarn :)

Miaparanoia's Potions spin, earning her a total 39 points

She was the pointsiest Slytherin there, and only one other person in the whole school topped it :)

Now, we have a mere 3 weeks left in the month (plus that helpful bonus day) so put your feet up, put your hot chocolate down, and finish all those things that you cast on last week! 

Evil's Cheat Sheet of Total Domination, Feb 1-3

Aaa..aaaa. ..aaa-CHOOO!!!!

Obviously the entire Slytherin house is sick because the only 3 brave Snakes who turned in homework the first few days of this month were CraftyGryphon, KnitInferno and EskimoPam all for Muggle Studies. Super awesome job to you three!!!!!!

The rest of us had better get our ambitions in gear because here’s the down and dirty scoop: we’re losing. Not just this week – the whole thing. This week the Badgers were on top of their game, but overall we’re now quite a bit behind the Griffs-and we’re losing ground. Potions is for shrinking this month – made for a knit-a-long and this class is not to be skipped. Also, don’t miss out on Option 3 for Care of Magical Creatures – using scraps.

We’ve all got to pull together this month – everyone should try to turn in one more project than last month. It’s not really that we’re doing badly – actually we’re putting out more effort than last term; the problem is that all the other houses are just doing a lot more.

We can still do this! Go Snakes go!

Is there sand on your hottie?

I love weeks like this. Weeks when I can post not one, but TWO hotties on the blog. Why, you ask? Because there were two winners of the poll. That's right -- A TIE!!

The two sand-speckled winners were none other than Lostie Josh Holloway and sexy-even-with-his-shirt-on Hugh Jackman!

Let's settle back into the Inn after our invigorating trip to the beach, and nominate hotties for next week's contest. For the coming week, post pictures of your favorite Redheaded Hotties! It's Ginger Week in the Snake Pit!
